Ende

The fishing village of Ende is located on the south coast of Flores.

Ende is home to the Bung Karno house, where the founder of the Republic of Indonesia, Soekarno, was exiled.
Near Ende is also Pantai Batu Biru (blue stone beach). Every day the sea supplies blue stones that are 'harvested' by classrooms for export to the garden centers.
The traditional village of Saga is also an hour's drive away. Take a guided tour of the local guide, who will proudly tell you about the culture and history.

Ende is often used as a starting point for a tour of Flores. From Ende we immediately set course for Moni for the Kelimutu volcano.

Just outside Ende is a small airport with daily flights to and from Kupang and Labuan Bajo-Denpasar-Bali.
