What we do

About
We publish guides. We do not run boats.
An independent English-language editorial guide to Riung and the 17 Islands Marine Park on the north coast of Flores.
In short
Riung Flores researches, writes and publishes travel information about Riung and the 17 Islands Marine Park. It is not a tour operator, an agency or a booking platform.
- Every figure traced to a source, or marked as reported.
- One commercial relationship, disclosed wherever it applies.
- Corrections published in the open.
What this is
Three things worth being clear about
Stated here rather than buried in a footer.
What we do not
Sell trips, operate boats, take commission on the Riung fleet, or accept payment for a listing or a recommendation.

Why we link to Komodo Luxury
They fulfil the Komodo leg, and they are in the same publisher network. We state that wherever the link appears.

The figures
One number, one fact
A figure reads the same on every page of this site. Where two sources disagree, we publish the disagreement rather than picking the more convenient number.
Where no official document exists — and for Riung, often none does — we say the figure is reported rather than published.
