We joined Flying the Nest’s Expedition alongside Stephen, Jess, Koa & Hunter — plus an incredible group of humans from all over the world — for a wild journey through Komodo National Park and Flores. This one had it all: volcanoes, remote villages, baby sharks, dragons, sunrise hikes, fruit bats at sunset, slumber parties, and… way too much Indonesian coffee.
Oh, and yes — a huge thanks to Stephen from Flying the Nest himself, for providing roughly 100% of the beautiful drone shots in this video while I just flailed around on land. Absolute legend.
This video includes:
• The iconic Mount Kelimutu sunrise crater lakes
• A very slippery waterfall moment 💦
• Local markets and new-to-us fruit 🍉
• A megalithic village with ancient stone formations
• Spiderweb-shaped rice fields (wow moment)
• Wae Rebo: a jungle hike to a hidden tribal village
• Baby sharks at Kelor Island 🦈
• Snorkelling, sunsets, and leaping off a pirate ship (ish)
• Thousands of bats at Kalong Island 🦇
• The famous Padar Island viewpoint
• Finally… meeting the Komodo Dragons 🐉
Spoiler: The dragons were quite large.
If you love quirky adventures, awkward things, and a whole lot of storytelling… you’re in the right place.
✨ NEXT UP: Australia by Rail (ish) — from Trains in the Outback to the Rainforest… and a few surprises in between.

Hej hej from the rails! I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can. Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic. 💛
Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
