The 2 Days 1 Night Wae Rebo Tour from Labuan Bajo is a cultural adventure into the highlands of Flores, where you’ll trek to the mystical and remote Wae Rebo Village—a UNESCO award-winning traditional Manggarai village nestled 1,200 meters above sea level.
This short overland trip is perfect for those who want to experience the authentic soul of Flores in just two days. You’ll journey through the lush countryside, pass through small local villages, and hike into the dense forest to reach the ancient village of cone-shaped houses and deep-rooted traditions.
Spending the night in one of Wae Rebo’s traditional houses is a unique cultural immersion—sharing stories with the locals, tasting traditional food, and sleeping under a woven roof, just as the villagers do.
Why Choose the 2-Day Wae Rebo Adventure?
Nestled at 1,100 meters above sea level, Wae Rebo Village is a tranquil haven far removed from modern life. With only around 1,200 residents, it remains one of the most isolated and culturally preserved villages in Indonesia. The village is world-renowned for its Mbaru Niang—cone-shaped traditional houses made from bamboo, wood, and thatch. This adventure is your chance to witness living heritage, trek through lush landscapes, and stay in an authentic, community-run environment.
As a shared tour, it’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow travelers while enjoying the wonders of nature, culture, and warm Manggarai hospitality.
