We recommend Bali for several reasons: it’s very proficient in handling travelers arriving from all over the world, it’s got great proximity to the island of Flores, and it has several daily flight departures between the two islands. Moreover, a lot of guys like to spend some time in Bali, too – see “CAN I EXTEND MY TRIP?” under the Booking FAQs. A roundtrip flight from Bali to Flores is fairly cheap.</p><p>• <span class="m_1518093408775173588gmail-s1">One day before the ship sails, you’ll fly into the airport of Labuan Bajo (LBJ) on the island of Flores.

Local dishes are mostly noodle and rice-based, with vegetables and meat or fish. It’s a good opportunity to try new foods and new flavors – think coconut milk, tofu and tempe, peanut sauces, and even hot chilis, if you desire. Western foods are European or American-based. We provide three meals a day, and there’s always enough food for everyone. Plus, you can expect fresh Juice-of-the-Day, and island fruits available, all the time. Also coffee, tea, and water. Forget about junk food: imagine eating healthy, delicious, fresh food, for the entire time you’re on the boat!</p><p>• While we can’t cater to specific diets, should you have certain food preferences or needs, we’re happy to try and accommodate such.<i></i></p><p>']<span class="color-olive" style="font-color: #A69E71; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">WHAT ARE THE MEALS LIKE?<br /></span>[/simple_tooltip][/fusion_text][fusion_text columns="" column_min_width="" column_spacing="" rule_style="default" rule_size="" rule_color="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id=""]<p><b>ACCOMMODATIONS</b></p>[simple_tooltip content='<br />• You will get your own bed, unless of course you are coming on the trip with someone else and want to share a bed.

They create a natural barrier that breaks down the rough waters from the Indian Ocean in the south and the Flores Sea in the north. The result is that we’re moving in relatively tranquil waters.<br />Having said that, it’s been theorized that seasickness can even come from... worrying about seasickness. So if it’s a concern of yours now, it might be wise to bring some motion sickness medicine with you. It’s small enough to carry along, and you’ll have peace of mind.
