Is West Timor worth visiting for 4 days after a Lombok-to-Flores boat trip if you don't surf?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 16 days ago
TL;DR
Based on the discussion, West Timor feels broadly similar to Flores around Labuan Bajo, but drier. For a short 4-day stop, it may be a marginal choice, especially if surfing is not your main reason to go.
What the community said
If you've just done the Lombok-to-Flores boat route, West Timor was described as having a broadly similar feel to Flores, so you should not expect a dramatically different experience.

One practical comparison was that the Flores area around Labuan Bajo is not especially impressive for some travelers, and Timor is seen as somewhat similar but noticeably drier in landscape and climate.

For a 4-day gap before flying to Denpasar, Timor was treated as a destination to weigh carefully: if you're not into surfing, there are fewer strong reasons to choose it.
