Padar Island cruises

The tour is well organized, the guys are very experienced, helpful, and friendly. They also provide hotel pick-up and drop-off at the end of the tour. You're among the first to arrive at the various spots, which means you won't be surrounded by crowds. The snorkeling is well organized, they provide everything you need: life jacket, mask, fins, and even an underwater phone case. For those who don't feel like swimming alone, a float is provided, towed by one of the guys, who will take you around. At the end of the snorkeling, they serve a delicious hot cappuccino to warm you up. The only downside is that you have little time at the various spots, they're rather hasty. I recommend it.

The itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to avoid crowds. It felt like we had each attraction all to ourselves. We even stopped for lunch at #MakassarTaka, where small sharks played right by the boat – it was so beautiful and dreamlike. Our guide, Robert, and the two crew members took excellent care of our family of three. The only minor issue was a small problem with the mouthpiece of the snorkeling mask; hopefully, this can be addressed in the future. At the end of the trip, they were able to drop us off directly at our hotel's pier, which saved us a lot of time. Ledi's arrangements were incredibly thoughtful. Thank you for this wonderful trip!

Warm and lively crew onboard of a quaint ship. Would recommend the Jawa room (with bath tub) for nicer space. Ship was well-maintained with no pests.
