Things to do in Komodo National Park

Boat Condition: The boat was in excellent condition! It was clean, safe, and there were no areas where one could get hurt. Oh! On days with choppy waves, I thought it would be great to have seatbelts, as there was a concern of falling off the chair even when sitting still at high speeds. :) Guide: Yoga briefed us on the tour itinerary and explained the rules to ensure safety and protect the tour sites. With a lively and positive vibe, he took great photos at each tour spot and naturally led conversations. During snorkeling, he guided my wife and me, who are not accustomed to swimming in the sea, by holding onto a life tube, allowing us to see beautiful corals, fish, turtles, and even sharks! I would definitely recommend him to friends planning a trip to Labuan Bajo! Itinerary: We visited Padar Island, Pink Beach, and Komodo National Park, then had lunch, stopped at a beautiful beach, and went snorkeling at Manta Point and Reef Point. The tour started at 6 AM and ended around 3:30-4 PM, which felt just right. :) Safety: We didn't have major concerns thanks to the professional boat driver and staff. However, it was a particularly windy day with rougher waves than usual. Although I don't usually get seasick, I felt a bit unwell today. Even if you don't typically experience seasickness, it would be wise to bring motion sickness medication.

All trip was perfectly organised we saw beautiful places a lot of drinks wherever you want good lunch to your choice chicken or fish very tasty, pink beach was so beautiful they was dear very friendly ,and we saw 10 komodo even wasn't sure we will see them because our guide says in the morning then has two tours but didn't spot any komodo so we was very lucky in the end when we had our lunch on the beach we was also few other komodo and even baby komodo snorkeling was amazing very clear water and lot of fish in the manta point we saw three mantras. Highly recommended this tour. scenic views on board:

Even though I barely slept the night before, I had an amazing time! It was definitely worth the money. It was my first time snorkeling, and I’d never swum in water deep enough that I couldn’t touch the bottom before. The coral reefs and underwater scenery were absolutely breathtaking! I also got to see around six Komodo dragons. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience! The packed lunch was pretty average, though. Only the vegan meal came with Jello.

We had a wonderful day today. We visited six spots according to the trip description. The view is fantastic, our tour guide Ricky is friendly and professional. I need to highlight the boat is clean and properly maintained, not all the boats I saw during trip are like ours. I am glad I choose this tour.

The driver picked us up on time, and we boarded the boat and started our trip before 7 AM. Every spot met our expectations; the pink beach wasn't exactly like the promotional pictures, but it was still very pink. The guide wasn't very humorous but was very responsible, actively helping us take photos while snorkeling and even pulling a life buoy for weaker guests. When we didn't see any manta rays at Manta Point, he took us to Mawan to look for them, and we were fortunate enough to see manta rays swimming right in front of us. The boat wasn't as luxurious as in the promotional photos, but it was acceptable for a trip. Don't have any expectations for the lunch box; it wasn't delicious but not bad either, most importantly, it filled us up. The tour fee itself was very reasonable, but the national park entrance fee was too expensive at 400,000 IDR per person, which was a bit disappointing. Everything else was great.

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.

Although my original trip was cancelled, I was moved onto the liveaboard Sora, which I believe was an even better-quality experience. I had a fantastic time and really enjoyed taking part in all the activities listed. The crew and the overall experience made it a memorable trip. A few tips for future travellers: bring earplugs to help you sleep, and pack some extra snacks and drinks. Overall, I had a great time and would happily recommend this experience!

We loved the boat tour in the komodo national park! The crew is very friendly. We ate a lot and everything was really good! The two guides John and Rodrigues have been friendly and professional! What to improve: renovate the rooms.

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!
