Flores in February
Not the best time
February offers rock-bottom prices and empty attractions, but the weather remains challenging. Consider it only if you're comfortable with constant rain and limited transportation options.
Weather
February continues the wet season pattern with slightly less intensity than January. Rain still falls on most days, but you might get lucky with a few sunny afternoons. The air remains thick with humidity, and muddy roads make getting around the island more difficult.

- •Carry waterproof bags for your electronics and important documents
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.
