East Of Wallace Line
Kelimutu Crater Lakes Ecolodge
Solar powered and set by a river in a cool upland valley near the village of Moni in eastern Flores, Kelimutu Crater Lakes Ecolodge was only completed in 2010 and built using the latest sustainability technology and design. The hotel is now the perfect base from which to visit the famous volcanic lakes. Its five villas and five rooms (above the restaurant) have en suite bathrooms and are bright, modern and airy, many with views from the balconies. The restaurant serves local and western dishes washed down by beer or wine available at the bar.
Facilities
Rooms include mosquito nets, western bathrooms with hot water, safety deposit box. There is also a traditional restaurant, a small shop and laundry service available.
Local Wildlife
Many species of higher altitude birds.
Optional Activities
Visiting the Kelimutu crater lakes, which lie at 1400m absl and can mysteriously change colour suddenly, one year perhaps being white, then changing to turquoise, black, green, and even red.

We loved this trip! The part arranged by Reef and Rainforest was very professional and thoughtful. Overall, we saw many highlights. We very strongly recommend the Seatrek experience. It was amazing and just what we were looking for. We believe Reef and Rainforest Clients interested in the archipelago would really enjoy the trip and the experience. The food was outstanding and the boat crew terrific. The guide was also excellent and they had arranged really interesting, informative and beautiful trips on land on different islands each day. Even the day spent on tour before boarding the ship was fascinating and well guided. We have taken many trips with Reef and Rainforest – Galapagos, Madagascar, Brazil, Peru, Indonesia. Our guides and have also been very good birders, and this was important to us. We have appreciated the way Reef and Rainforest arranges trips and the eco-tourism nature of the trips. It has been a good fit for us.
