Coisas para fazer em Labuan Bajo

I'm a Korean who went on my honeymoon here. At first, I hesitated because there were fewer reviews compared to other places, but I trusted the Korean reviews and booked it. I highly recommend it! It was the Ohana company, and the boat was in good condition. At each point, there were many people, but they gave us small flower pins so we wouldn't get confused, and all the guides were very kind. At Manta Point, I was too scared to go in, but the guides took my phone and went in themselves to film videos for me, which was the best!

Boat Condition: The boat was in excellent condition! It was clean, safe, and there were no parts that could cause injury. Oh! On days with big waves, I thought it would be good to have seatbelts, as there was a risk of falling off the chair even when sitting still at high speed. :) Guide: Yoga briefed us on the tour itinerary and explained the rules we needed to follow for safety and to 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 husband and me, who are not used to swimming in the sea, by holding onto a life tube, allowing us to see beautiful corals, fish, turtles, and even sharks! If my friends ever travel to Labuan Bajo, I would definitely recommend him! Itinerary: We went to Padar Island, Pink Beach, and Komodo National Park, then had lunch, visited 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 as there were professional boat drivers and staff. However, it was a day with strong winds and rougher waves than usual. Although I don't usually get seasick, it was a bit challenging today. It would be good to bring motion sickness medication even if you don't normally get seasick.

Jujur saya tidak punya satu keluhan pun, saya sudah mengikuti banyak perjalanan sehari di berbagai negara dan ini dengan mudah masuk dalam pengalaman terbaik, pemandu sangat berpengetahuan dan ramah, komunikasi dilakukan jauh-jauh hari dan transfer berjalan lancar, jadwal perjalanan cukup standar untuk semua perjalanan sehari ke Komodo. Yang membuat perjalanan unik adalah pemandu dan pemandu kami adalah yang terbaik dan juga berpengetahuan. Kami menyaksikan 4 komodo, meskipun penampakan pari manta tidak terjadi, kami melihat penyu dan terumbu karang yang menakjubkan dan berwarna-warni. Saya sedikit skeptis karena ini lebih murah daripada perjalanan sehari lainnya, ternyata membayar lebih tidak berarti layanan yang lebih baik, Salut untuk tim dan Operator Lokal CS Trip Nusa Nadhi. Sangat direkomendasikan (mereka bahkan mengisi daya ponsel saya ketika mati karena saya mengambil terlalu banyak foto lol)

Un après-midi charmant et un excellent rapport qualité-prix. La grotte de Rangko avec son lagon bleu était rafraîchissante, la plongée avec tuba de classe mondiale et la vue depuis la colline sereine. Fortement recommandé comme prélude à la grande excursion d'une journée sur l'île de Komodo !

The driver picked us up on time, and we boarded the boat before 7 AM to start the tour. Every attraction met our expectations; the Pink Beach wasn't exactly like the promotional photos, but it was still very pink. The guide wasn't very humorous but was very responsible, actively helping us take photos during snorkeling and even pulling a lifebuoy for less confident swimmers. When we didn't see manta rays at Manta Point, he took us to Mawan to search again, and we were fortunate enough to see manta rays swimming right before our eyes. The boat wasn't as luxurious as depicted in the promotional images, but it was acceptable for a trip. Don't have any expectations for the lunch box; it wasn't delicious but not bad either, just enough to fill us up. The tour fee itself was quite reasonable, but the national park entrance fee was too expensive at 400,000 IDR per person, which was a bit disappointing. Everything else was excellent.

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.

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.

This review is for every Chinese tourist who loves to enjoy and save money! As I stood on the pier at the end of this private tour, my tired mother beside me said, "The experience today was truly overwhelming." Being able to charter a boat with my parents, both over 70, to go out to sea, hike together to the top of Padar Island, and visit a nearly deserted pink beach based on our guide Andro's recommendation, has already become an unforgettable memory for me. The fruit on the boat helped us replenish our energy, the brand-new cushions allowed my father to lie down comfortably and rest, and Andro taking family photos for us at every scenic spot – all these were private services that exceeded my expectations. On the beach, my mother exclaimed that it was the clearest water she had ever seen in Indonesia. My father's first snorkeling experience made him as excited as a 17-year-old. Komodo dragons, small sharks, corals, and sea turtles all remain in our memories. When we went snorkeling at the manta ray spot, Andro went into the water first to search. After confirming the area where the manta rays were active, he had the boat bring my parents nearby. Then, he used a lifebuoy to pull my mother to the manta rays' feeding area, and subsequently held my father's hand, who was wearing a life vest, to watch five black and white giants circle and play in the sea. Seeing my father's red life vest floating for a long time in the sea, I felt his joy and awe as he witnessed the free ocean giants before his eyes. If you are traveling with three people, paying this fee might be more than double that of a large group, but the care and attention you receive are something that cannot be experienced in a stuffy, noisy large group with strangers (I have also participated in large groups). However, if you are traveling with six people, this chartered boat trip is the most cost-effective option from any perspective. A tour with hundreds of reviews and a 4.8-star rating is definitely a no-brainer.

Overall the 3D2N liveaboard in Leticia was above expectation with friendly and attentive crews. Food was delicious and lots of varieties. Photographer always ready to capture the best photos and drone shot was fantastic. The only drawback was no hot water in the shower.
