Pesta Kopi Flores (Late October)

Kenapa Oktober Bagus

  • Suhu udara 28-32 derajat. Panas tapi nggak lembab kayak Maret.
  • Visibility snorkeling dan diving optimal (20-30 meter).
  • Belum peak season (Juli-Agustus) jadi harga akomodasi masih normal.
  • Sunset lebih dramatis karena langit clear.

Tips Kalau Datang Saat Event

  • Book akomodasi 2-3 minggu sebelum event besar. Hotel cepat penuh saat marathon.
  • Transportasi lokal bisa terganggu saat ada penutupan jalan. Siapkan waktu ekstra.
  • Event biasanya include live music malam hari di area waterfront — gratis.
