Ferry between Flores and Timor
 
We had big trouble finding out information about how to get to Timor from Flores, but luckily our friend helped us. So if you need to go the same way, there are apparently two options, where to take the ferry from:

Village of Aimere on the western part of Flores. Ferry leaves on Wednesdays and Saturdays and was almost empty when we took it in June 2016. Pier was almost empty until late the day before the ferry was departing, so don't get too much concerned. Also woman in the restaurant, which was just at the pier, didn't even know that the ferry was actually leaving on Wednesday as well as Saturdays. It is an easy day of riding from Labuhanbajo to Aimere. There is a good restaurant just across the street from the entrance, which does takeaway.

Larantuka in east of the island will take you longer to get to, but ferry should be leaving three times a week, one of which is Friday - don't remember much else.

Ende is suppposedly not working any more. Make sure to take hamocks, our ferry ride was only 20 hours, but really "bumpy".

Flores Ferry
 
Hi mvantuch,
Many thanks for the ferry update, I'll be over touring Indonesia from mid September through to late December and I had been thinking of taking the ferry from West Timor to Aimere. Did that ferry dock in Kupang and what days did it depart?
Cheers,

Hey Daryl, yeah, it docks in Kupang. It probably depards on Tuesday and Friday morning, around 9 a.m. Tuesday is for sure, because it arrives to Aimere on Wednesday morning, but Friday is just a guess, but it would make sense.

Good luck :)
