Labuan Bajo Båtturer

Vi er koreanere som var her på bryllupsreise. Først var vi litt usikre fordi det var færre anmeldelser her enn andre steder, men vi stolte på de koreanske anmeldelsene og bestilte. Jeg anbefaler det på det sterkeste! Det var med Ohana, båten var i god stand, og hver gang vi dro til et nytt sted med mange folk, fikk vi en liten blomsterpinne for å skille oss ut, så vi ble ikke forvirret. Guidene var alle veldig snille. Ved Manta Point var jeg for redd til å gå i vannet, men guidene tok telefonen min og filmet for meg, noe som var helt fantastisk!

I rushed to eat breakfast at the hotel and headed to the lobby because I was told they would pick me up at 6:30 AM, but they didn't arrive until 6:45 AM, which was frustrating. 15 minutes in the morning is a big deal. Other than that, it was a perfect tour with no complaints. We didn't see any manta rays, but we saw many sea turtles, and the guide took some great videos with my camera! They did an excellent job, and it made for a wonderful memory! We wished we could have been in the videos too if we were better at diving, but maybe next time. We were told it would be lucky to see two Komodo dragons during mating season, but we saw about ten. We even witnessed them fighting, which was very impressive! It was a fulfilling day! Regarding the boat: It was quite cramped and narrow when everyone was seated inside. Regarding safety: I later learned that in July of this year, a Chinese couple drowned in this area because they couldn't swim and weren't wearing life jackets. If you're not confident in your swimming abilities, please declare it and rent a life jacket. Don't do anything reckless, cause an accident, and then blame others.

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.

Sjåføren var veldig punktlig og hentet oss, og vi var om bord i båten og startet turen før klokken sju. Hvert sted levde opp til forventningene; den rosa stranden var ikke akkurat som på reklamebildene, men den var fortsatt veldig rosa. Guiden var ikke spesielt humoristisk, men veldig pliktoppfyllende. Han var veldig aktiv med å ta bilder av oss under snorklingen, og han dro også med seg redningsvesten for å hjelpe de svakere gjestene. Da vi ikke fant mantaer ved Manta Point, tok han oss med til Mawan for å lete videre, og vi var så heldige å se mantaer svømme rett foran oss. Båten var ikke så luksuriøs som på reklamebildene, men det var akseptabelt når man er på tur. Ikke ha noen forventninger til matpakken; den var verken god eller dårlig, men viktigst av alt var at den mettet. Hvis det bare var gruppeprisen, ville det vært veldig rimelig, men nasjonalparkbilletten var for dyr, 400 000 IDR per person, noe som trekker litt ned. Alt annet var veldig bra.

It's a shame that we had to proceed with an alternative itinerary due to high waves near Komodo, but I understand that this was due to official directives, not the fault of the tour operator. The hotel pickup was punctual, the guidance was detailed, and I appreciated the continuous attention to safety throughout the trip. The alternative snorkeling spot was also incredibly beautiful and stunning, and the highlight, the Komodo dragons, were seen sufficiently on Rinca Island, another alternative island, making it a very satisfying tour. The boat was also clean and convenient. It's a highly recommendable tour and an excellent company.

Guiden er veldig proaktiv, han forklarte alt vi så fra båten. Han tilbød seg også aktivt å ta bilder av oss, og anbefalte hvilke steder som var de beste og mest interessante. Det er så mange babyhaier på Kelor Island, det anbefales å svømme der. Men på Manjarite Beach foretrakk jeg å bare ta bilder av stranden, fordi stranden var veldig vakker og eksotisk. Jeg så en rokke på denne stranden, så jeg likte å se den. Etter det var vi så heldige! Vi møtte delfiner på vei til Kalong Island! Solnedgangen er vakker, flygehundene enda vakrere!

Best trip I ever book in Klook. The view is fantastic and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Even though there was some time reporting issue, which the staff told me that the pick up time was at 6.45am, but they came to my place at 6.20am, but it was just a small matter. This is a must book trip.

The tour operator for this trip was Labuan Bajo Holiday, and I'm incredibly grateful to them. They were very responsible, proactively informing me that my booked tour hadn't met the minimum number of participants. They then went above and beyond to help me find a suitable boat. Throughout the trip, they were very attentive to my experience, and ultimately helped me complete a wonderful journey. Thank you for your excellent service; it was fantastic!

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.
