Flores Overland Rates 2026: Per-Day & Per-Leg Prices

Here is every price we charge for a Flores overland trip, published in full. A Toyota Innova with a driver-guide is IDR 1,500,000 per day and a Toyota Hiace is IDR 2,500,000 per day — fuel and driver costs included. A Wae Rebo 2D1N is IDR 3,000,000 per car. Every leg, package and gate fee is listed below.

Most Flores overland listings you will find quietly read “price on request” or show a flat $0.00. We do the opposite. This page is the only fully open price sheet in the Flores land-tour search results, and it is the number we actually quote when you message us on WhatsApp. Nothing here is a teaser rate that grows once you reply. We drive Trans-Flores ourselves every week, so the figures below are the real cost of putting our own car, our own fuel and one of our named driver-guides on the road for your dates.

Day Rates: Innova vs Hiace

All overland pricing starts from one honest building block: the daily vehicle rate. Everything else — packages, per-leg costs, airport runs — is just this rate multiplied by the number of driving days. We charge per car, not per person, so a couple and a family of four pay the same Innova rate.

Vehicle Best for Rate per day What it covers
Toyota Innova 1–4 travellers IDR 1,500,000 (about USD 92) Driver-guide, fuel, driver’s meals & lodging
Toyota Hiace 5–14 travellers IDR 2,500,000 (about USD 153) Same inclusions, more space & luggage room

Need a driver for a single region rather than a full crossing? The same day rate applies to airport pickups and local touring — see our Flores private driver page for how a single day is structured.

What the Day Rate Includes (& Excludes)

The day rate is genuinely all-in on the vehicle side. When you compare us against a “from” price elsewhere, read what that number leaves out — ours leaves out very little.

Included in every day rate

  • Private air-conditioned vehicle for your group only.
  • An English-speaking local driver-guide from Manggarai or Ngada.
  • All fuel for the day’s route.
  • The driver’s own meals, accommodation and parking.
  • Road tolls and standard vehicle running costs.

Paid separately (and always shown to you first)

  • Your own accommodation and meals.
  • National-park and village entrance fees (full table below).
  • Optional local trek guides and porters, e.g. at Wae Rebo.
  • Boat charters, such as the Riung 17 Islands day boat.

Per-Leg Costs: Trans-Flores Table

Because we charge by the driving day, the honest way to price a crossing is by its legs. Below is the real Trans-Flores backbone — roughly 510 km in five legs — with distances, driving times and how each leg is charged on an Innova.

Leg Distance Driving time How it is charged (Innova)
Labuan Bajo → Ruteng 130 km ~4 hours One driving day — IDR 1,500,000
Ruteng → Bajawa 135 km ~4 hours One driving day — IDR 1,500,000
Bajawa → Ende 95 km ~2.5 hours Half day — usually combined with the next leg
Ende → Moni 50 km ~1.5 hours Half day — paired with Bajawa→Ende as one day
Moni → Maumere 95 km ~3 hours One driving day — IDR 1,500,000
Total ~510 km ~15 hours driving Typically 4–5 driving days end to end

The full two-direction breakdown, including the quiet reverse run, lives on our Labuan Bajo to Maumere overland route page.

Package Pricing: 2D to 7D

There is no mystery to our multi-day prices — they are simply the daily rate times the number of days. That is the whole formula. The table shows transport-only pricing per car; add your entrance fees and rooms from the sections below to see the complete trip cost.

Trip length Innova (per car) Hiace (per car) Typical route
2D / 1N IDR 3,000,000 (~USD 184) IDR 5,000,000 Wae Rebo 2D1N
3D / 2N IDR 4,500,000 (~USD 276) IDR 7,500,000 Labuan Bajo, Ruteng, Wae Rebo
5D / 4N IDR 7,500,000 (~USD 460) IDR 12,500,000 Classic 5-day crossing
6D / 5N IDR 9,000,000 (~USD 552) IDR 15,000,000 6-day with Wae Rebo overnight
7D / 6N IDR 10,500,000 (~USD 644) IDR 17,500,000 Full week Trans-Flores

Entrance & Village Fees (Wae Rebo, Kelimutu, Bena, Riung)

These fees are collected as official tickets at each gate and go to the parks and communities, not to us. We list them so your budget has no surprises. Rates are the current 2026 figures; the parks can adjust them, and the official ticket sold at the gate is always the final word.

Place Who pays Fee (2026) Notes
Wae Rebo village Overnight stay IDR 350,000 / person Covers the welcome ceremony, village guide & simple meals
Day visit IDR 250,000 / person Includes village guide; porter optional at about IDR 200,000
Kelimutu National Park Foreign visitor IDR 150,000 weekday / IDR 225,000 weekend & public holiday Official tickets sold at the park gate
Indonesian citizen IDR 20,000–30,000 Domestic rate, paid at the gate
Bena megalithic village All visitors About IDR 50,000 Village donation, paid on arrival
Riung 17 Islands All visitors Marine-park fee at the gate + boat charter Boat charter is a tailored quote within 24 hours

Deposit & Payment

Booking is deliberately simple and low-pressure. Message us on WhatsApp at +62 811 3823 875 with your dates and group size, and we reply with a written quote — the same numbers you see here.

  • A modest deposit confirms your dates and holds the vehicle for you.
  • The balance is settled at the start of the trip, in Indonesian rupiah cash or by bank transfer.
  • Village and park fees are usually paid in cash at each gate, so keep some rupiah handy.
  • Everything is agreed in writing before you travel — there is no upselling once you are on the road.

Questions on the quote can go to [email protected] or straight to WhatsApp.

High Season Notes

Our rates hold the same year-round — we do not surge the day rate in peak months. What changes is availability. In July, August and the Christmas–New Year window, our fleet books out weeks ahead, so lock your dates early. The dry season runs April to October and is the easiest driving. In the wet months, November to March, the Trans-Flores road stays open and we run trips throughout; expect the occasional afternoon mist on the passes and rare, short landslide clearances, which our drivers plan around.

How We Compare

Look across the Flores overland listings and a pattern appears: roughly eight in ten hide the number behind “on request” or a blank price. That is not an accident. A hidden price lets an operator read your message, guess your budget and quote up from there. We would rather earn the trip on trust.

Publishing the rate keeps us honest and keeps you in control — you can plan your whole Flores budget before you ever say hello. It is the same reason we show our own cars and name our own driver-guides instead of sub-contracting to whoever is free. We are the overland and transport desk of Juara Holding Group (established 2015), and we operate alongside our sister brand Komodo Luxury, rated 4.9/5 by more than 1,500 travellers. Those are the people who answer your WhatsApp.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Flores overland tour cost per day?

A private Toyota Innova with an English-speaking driver-guide is IDR 1,500,000 (about USD 92) per day, and a larger Toyota Hiace is IDR 2,500,000 (about USD 153) per day. Both rates include fuel and the driver's meals and lodging. You are charged per car, not per person.

Is fuel included in the day rate?

Yes. Every day rate covers all fuel for that day's route, plus the driver-guide's wage, meals, accommodation and parking. The only things paid separately are your own rooms and meals, and the official park and village entrance fees.

What does the Wae Rebo 2D1N price of IDR 3,000,000 cover?

That IDR 3,000,000 is the transport cost for the car and driver-guide over two days (two daily Innova rates), covering the drive from Labuan Bajo to the Denge trailhead and back. The Wae Rebo village contribution of IDR 350,000 per person for an overnight stay, which covers the welcome ceremony, village guide and meals, is paid separately at the village.

How much are Kelimutu entrance fees in 2026?

Foreign visitors pay IDR 150,000 on weekdays and IDR 225,000 on weekends and public holidays. Indonesian citizens pay a lower domestic rate of roughly IDR 20,000 to 30,000. Tickets are sold as official tickets at the park gate, so we always confirm the current figure on the day.

Do you charge per person or per car?

Per car. An Innova is one flat rate whether one or four people travel, and a Hiace is one flat rate for groups up to 14. Only the entrance and village fees are charged per person, and those are listed in full above.

How do I pay the deposit and the balance?

Message us on WhatsApp at +62 811 3823 875 with your dates and we send a written quote. A modest deposit holds your vehicle and dates, and the balance is settled at the start of the trip in Indonesian rupiah cash or by bank transfer. Everything is agreed in writing before you travel.

Why do other Flores operators only say “price on request”?

A hidden price lets an operator gauge your budget before quoting, and then quote up. We publish every rate so you can plan your whole trip before you contact us and know the number will not change once you reply.

Do your prices go up in high season?

No. Our day rates stay the same all year, including July, August and the Christmas period. What changes in high season is availability, because our own fleet books out early, so we recommend confirming your dates well ahead.
