Labuan Bajo Túrák

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.

A sofőr pontosan érkezett értünk, és hét óra előtt már a hajón voltunk, megkezdve az utat. Minden látványosság megfelelt az elvárásoknak, a rózsaszín strand nem olyan volt, mint a reklámfotókon, de azért elég rózsaszín volt. Az idegenvezető nem volt túl humoros, de nagyon lelkiismeretes, sznorkelezés közben aktívan segített nekünk fotózni, és a gyengébb vendégeket mentőgyűrűvel húzta maga után. A Manta Pointnál nem találkoztunk mantákkal, de elvitt minket Mawanba, hogy ott keressünk, és végül sikerült is látnunk mantákat elúszni előttünk. A hajó nem volt olyan luxus, mint a reklámfotókon, de utazás közben ez elfogadható. Az ebédcsomagtól ne várjunk semmit, nem volt finom, de nem is volt rossz, a legfontosabb, hogy elűzte az éhséget. Ha csak a túra díját nézzük, az ár nagyon is elfogadható, de a nemzeti park belépője túl drága, 400 000 IDR/fő, ami kicsit rossz érzést keltett. Egyébként minden más rendben volt.

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:

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.

Sajnálatos, hogy a Komodo felé tartó magas hullámok miatt az eredeti program helyett egy alternatív útvonalat kellett követnünk, de úgy gondolom, ez nem a szolgáltató hibája, hanem a hatóságok utasítása, így elkerülhetetlen volt. A szállodai felvételi időpontot pontosan betartották, a tájékoztatás részletes volt, és tetszett, hogy folyamatosan figyeltek a biztonságra az út során. Az alternatív sznorkelező hely is gyönyörű és csodálatos volt, és a túra fénypontját, a komodói sárkányokat is bőségesen láthattuk a Rinca szigeten, ami nagyon elégedetté tett. A hajó is tiszta és kényelmes volt. Ajánlott túra és kiváló szolgáltató volt.

Overall it was a great experience. BUT the price was too much. We paid nearly 900,000 Rp but there were offers for 400,000 Rp for the same experience.

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.

I think it was probably one of the more affordable Komodo tours available. Because of that, I had a lot of worries about what the food and the hygiene would be like, but everything turned out fine! Every meal was satisfyingly delicious, and we even had an afternoon snack. The shower shares the same space as the toilet, which might bother some people, but hot water was available and the area was kept clean. And most importantly, the quality of the crew. Everyone welcomed us with a smile, and even though I was traveling solo, I wasn't lonely and had a wonderful time! Touring the Komodo Islands with such a multinational group—1 from Japan, 6 from China, 1 from Australia, 2 from France, 2 from Germany, 1 from Finland, and 1 from Spain—was a great memory. I will definitely book this tour again next year!

A great half day trip, started with snorkelling, and then the cave. Very unique cave with little bats flying above you! But the highlight is definitely Amelia Hills. Beautiful landscape views and sunset!
