Hello Reddit.
I am planning a trip where we have the option of going to Flores in beginning of December.
I read online that weather conditions can be a bit of a hit and a miss.
I really wanna go see the Komodo dragons, but is this a bad time to go? Do I need to book the tour ahead of time or can I do it once I get there and can see the weather forecast?

Does anyone have any other recommendations I am all ears.
We will be 2 adults and 2 kids aged 5 and 4 traveling.
