THINGS TO NOTE:
- Our program on 1 – 4 July has been re-arranged to allow us to attend the recently confirmed and very exciting ‘grand opening’ of the 1 July Lamahalot Festival – a celebration of the rich culture (including the textiles and handcrafts) of the Lamahalot indigenous communities across East Flores, Adonara, Solor, Lembata, and Alor. Refer to the Detailed Itinerary for details.
- DAY 1 / 28 June – Our meeting point is inside the domestic terminal at Denpasar Airport, near the check-in machine. Please be there by 08:00am at the latest! PLEASE DON’T check in for the flight – we will check in as a group with our local tour leader, once we’re all together. Our delightful local tour leader is Tony (Antonius) Labuan. Tony will meet us at Denpasar airport at 8am. Our flight on 28 June is scheduled to depart from Denpasar (DPS) at 10:00AM and arrive at Kupang (KOE) at 11:45AM.
- DAY 14 / 11 July – In case you wish to arrange your own transfer from Denpasar airport to your chosen accommodation, our flight from Waikabukbuk/Tambolaka Airport (TMC) is scheduled to arrive at Bali/Denpasar airport (DPS) at 16:15 on 11 July.
