Star Gazing in the Middle of the Flores Sea: An Astrotourism Experience

One of the moments most often missed by tourists staying on land is the beauty of the night sky in the middle of the sea. Far from the city lights of Labuan Bajo, the Flores Sea offers perfect darkness for stargazing activities.

On the deck of Behike Cruise, after dinner is finished, we usually turn off some deck lights to provide maximum views of the sky. You will be surprised at how clearly the Milky Way is visible, stretching like a river of light overhead. On certain nights, constellations like the Southern Cross or Orion can be seen very clearly.

The calm sound of waves and the night sea breeze create an extraordinary meditative atmosphere. This is the best time to reflect and appreciate the greatness of the universe. Don't forget to download a star map app on your phone beforehand to help identify planets and constellations currently visible.
