Ina's Kitchen and Tours

Ina's Kitchen and Tours is a small local business built around Chef Ina's cooking. The core experience is a hands-on class in a bright, open kitchen, where you prepare traditional Indonesian and Flores dishes with fresh local ingredients, grind your own spice paste and then sit down to eat what you have made. A beach version of the class is also offered.

The company also arranges private land and sea trips: a half-day to Cunca Plias waterfall with sunset at Puncak Watu Api, an ATV ride combined with the waterfall, and private speedboat days to Kalong Island, Rangko Cave or the Komodo dragons, Pink Beach and Manta Point.

Classes suit families and anyone wanting to understand local food beyond restaurant menus. Book by WhatsApp or through the website.

The cooking class makes a good half-day between boat trips and is relaxed enough for children. Tell the team about dietary needs when booking, as menus can be adjusted for vegetarians. Its tour list also covers ATV rides and sunset viewpoints for those wanting a land day.
