All Months
April through September delivers Flores at its finest — dry roads, calm seas, and clear skies for crater lake photography. July and August bring peak crowds to Komodo National Park, so book boats early. October through March means monsoon season with muddy roads and rough waters around the islands. But here's the upside: accommodation prices drop 30-40% and you'll have trails mostly to yourself. Kelimutu's crater lakes look most dramatic after morning mist clears, typically around 8 AM year-round. Diving conditions peak May through October when visibility reaches 30 meters. December through February can wash out boat trips entirely, leaving you stranded in Labuan Bajo longer than planned.
