Labuan Bajo

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 lovely afternoon and great value for money. Rangko cave with its blue lagoon was refreshing, the snorkelling world class and the hilltop view serene. Highly recommend as a precursor to the big Komodo Island day trip!

Sme Kórejčania, ktorí sem prišli na medové týždne. Spočiatku sme váhali, pretože tu bolo menej recenzií v porovnaní s inými miestami, ale dôverovali sme kórejským recenziám a rezervovali sme si to. Veľmi to odporúčam! Bola to spoločnosť Ohana, stav lode bol dobrý a zakaždým, keď sme išli na nejaké miesto, kde bolo veľa ľudí, dali nám malú kvetinovú sponku, aby sme sa nezmýlili. Všetci sprievodcovia boli veľmi milí. Na mieste Manta Point som sa bála ísť do vody, ale sprievodcovia vzali môj telefón a sami tam išli, aby mi natočili video, čo bolo úžasné.

Mali sme naozaj zábavný výlet a celkovo skvelý zážitok od začiatku do konca. Loď bola menšia, keďže išlo o malú skupinu, ale bola pohodlná, bezpečná a dobre organizovaná. Sprievodca a personál boli veľmi nápomocní, najmä pri pomoci všetkým nastupovať a vystupovať z lode. Len upozornenie: ráno je odliv, takže musíte vystúpiť alebo skočiť do vody po kolená, takže voľné šaty nie sú ideálne. Všetky aktivity boli skvelé. Túra na vyhliadku mala veľa schodov, ale bola zvládnuteľná a trvala asi hodinu. Ružová pláž bola pekná, hoci nebola taká ružová ako na fotkách na Instagrame, čo je dobré vedieť vopred. Ostrov Komodo bol vrcholom a mali sme šťastie, že sme videli komodské draky, vrátane jedného, ktorý sa prechádzal. Obed bol veľmi dobrý s množstvom jedla a vegetariánskymi možnosťami. Videli sme manty a korytnačky, s lepšou viditeľnosťou na Turtle Point. Všetko prebehlo hladko. Len si všimnite, že vstupný poplatok na ostrov Komodo sa musí platiť v hotovosti. Celkovo veľmi odporúčame tento výlet!

Honestly I dont have a single complaint, Ive taken so many day trips in many countries and this easily ranks in the top experiences, the guide was knowledge and friendly, the communication was well in advance and transfers were smooth, the itinerary is pretty much standard for all day trips to Komodo. what makes a trip unique is the guide and our guide is simply the best and also knowledgeable. We witnessed 4 komodo dragons, while manta ray sight did not happen we did see turtles and amazing, vibrant coral reefs. I was lil skeptical because this was cheaper than other day trips, turns out paying more doesnt mean better service, Kudos to the team and the Local Operator CS Trip Nusa Nadhi. 10/10 Recommended ( they even charged my mobile when it went dead cause I took too many photos lol )

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 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.

Túto recenziu zanechávam pre každého čínskeho turistu, ktorý miluje zábavu a zároveň rád šetrí peniaze! Keď sme po skončení súkromnej prehliadky stáli na móle, moja unavená matka povedala: „Dnešný zážitok bol naozaj intenzívny.“ Možnosť prenajať si loď s mojimi rodičmi, oboma po sedemdesiatke, a spoločne sa vydať na more, vystúpiť na vrchol hory Padar a na odporúčanie nášho sprievodcu Andra navštíviť ružovú pláž, kde takmer neboli žiadni turisti, to všetko sú pre mňa nezabudnuteľné chvíle. Ovocie na lodi nám pomohlo doplniť energiu, nové vankúše umožnili môjmu otcovi pohodlne si ľahnúť a oddýchnuť si, a Andro nám na každom mieste urobil rodinné fotografie – to všetko boli súkromné služby, ktoré prekonali moje očakávania. Na pláži matka vzdychla, že to bola najčistejšia voda, akú kedy v Indonézii videla. Otcov prvý zážitok so šnorchlovaním ho nadchol ako sedemnásťročného chlapca. Komodské draci, malé žraloky, koraly a morské korytnačky – to všetko zostalo v našich spomienkach. Keď sme šnorchlovali na mieste s mantami, Andro najprv skočil do vody, aby ich našiel. Keď určil oblasť, kde sa manty pohybovali, priviedol loď s mojimi rodičmi blízko, potom pomocou záchranného kruhu pritiahol moju matku do oblasti, kde sa manty kŕmili, a následne držal za ruku môjho otca v záchrannej veste, aby si v mori pozreli päť čiernobielych obrov, ako sa hrajú v kruhoch. Keď som videl otcovu červenú záchrannú vestu dlho plávať v mori, cítil som jeho radosť a úžas, keď uvidel slobodné morské obry. Ak cestujete traja, zaplatenie tohto poplatku môže byť viac ako dvojnásobok ceny veľkej skupiny, ale starostlivosť a pozornosť, ktorú dostanete, sa nedá porovnať s dusnými, hlučnými a cudzími ľuďmi vo veľkej skupine (aj ja som sa zúčastnil veľkej skupiny). Ak však cestujete šiesti, tento výlet s prenajatou loďou je z každého uhla pohľadu najvýhodnejší. Projekt, ktorý má stovky recenzií a hodnotenie 4,8, si určite môžete bez váhania zarezervovať.

guide is very proactive, he explained everything we saw from the boat. he also actively offering for taking us pictures, and recommending which spot is the best and most interesting. there are so many baby sharks in kelor island, it is recommended to swim there. but in Manjarite Beach, I prefer to take picture of the beach only because the beach was very beautiful and exotic. I saw stingray in this beach, so I enjoyed seeing it. after that, were so lucky!! we met dolphin on the way to kalong island! the sunset is beautiful, the flying foxes even more beautiful!
