Visited this island a few years back. We boarded a small fishing boat in Lombok and spent 5 days and 4 nights en route to Flores with 18 travelers and a local Indonesian crew of 5. There were stops at uninhabited islands to hike, mornings spent jumping into the sea to snorkel with manta ray, and a visit to Komodo National Park. This was not a “luxury” tour in any way and the sleeping quarters were an open communal space at the top of the boat. The crew prepared simple meals which we shared family-style, seated on the lower decks on mats. Luckily we had calm weather with smooth water and no storms. Sometimes the colors seemed unreal. The clarity of the water, the vast sky, and the unusual vegetation on the islands made this journey one of the most unique experiences of my travels thus far. I want to document these experiences because they are the reason that Nomadic Ant (the business) exists. Set a goal of a new place you want to go. #EngageYourCuriosity #NomadicAnt #Travels
