Hidden Gems of Bali, Flores & Komodo - Travel Documentary (Indonesia is not only Bali, Ep. 02)

In this Flores & Bali Documentary I show you popular and hidden gems of the most popular islands in Indonesia with my friends Kiko & Carlotta.

Diving into the heart of Indonesia, we're setting our sights on the ever-popular Bali, exploring not only the famed hotspots but also its lesser-known gems to help us understand Bali's distinct role in Indonesia.
As we journey beyond Bali, we'll uncover the untouched beauty of Flores, where natural splendor meets traditional charm. Then, we'll set sail on a thrilling adventure to the fascinating islands of the Komodo National Park. Proving that Indonesia's magic extends far beyond Bali's borders.

This Flores & Bali Travel Documentary is the second part of a Documentary Series called „Indonesia is not only Bali“. While many visitors mainly focus on Bali alone, Indonesia with its more than 17,000 islands offers a wealth of incredible destinations each with its unique charm and attractions.

Therefore my plan was to visit a number of different destinations to showcase the diversity of the country to the best of my ability. Bali is the jewel of Indonesia's tourism crown and stands distinct amongst its sister islands. A destination celebrated for its unique fusion of lush landscapes, historic temples, and vibrant arts, it also boasts a highly developed tourism infrastructure welcoming visitors from around the globe.

In order to show you the whole diversity of Indonesia we tried to cover the majority of sights in this Bali Documentary from the north over the center to the south as well as the temples and waterfalls.

Beyond its mesmerizing landscapes, Flores is the gateway to the Komodo National Park, a realm where ancient dragons roam and pristine waters await with colorful marine life. This segment promises a journey into untouched Indonesia, diving deep into Flores' heart and the mysterious world of Komodo.

You can use this Flores, Komodo & Bali Documentary to plan your own trip to Bali, Flores and the Komodo NP on my website you’ll find all essential information needed.

I just came back from Labengki and Sombori in Southeast Sulawesi, the beaches are definitely much more beautiful than Bali. For culture, Tana Toraja has a really unique tradition and exquisite funerary rites. It was a trip of my lifetime.

Coming from Santa Cruz, going to Bali for the first time. Many friends in the surf community that have spoken of all the spots in the way that you have which tells me it's spot on. I really appreciate the conscious low-key approach. The sustainability, the beach cleanup, the intimate conversations are on surf. I'm super excited! Thank you so much for posting.

Binge consuming all these Bali videos for days now for my trip in June, i must say this is one of the best so far. This will be my 2nd time in Bali, the first being June last year, stayed for a week, where I mainly stayed and explored Kuta, Ubud. Lord i missed out on a lot! I'm looking forward to my 2 weeks this June now that I learned more to help me plan for the trip. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. 🥰

10:14 Indonesian calls it Musyawarah (deliberation). where everyone gives their opinion. and decisions are taken based on the best solution for each group. If the best solution is not found then a vote will be held where the majority (more than 50%)solution is chosen. and minorities (less than 50%) must accept it gracefully
