Prehliadky Padar Island

Stav lode: Stav lode bol vynikajúci! Bola čistá, bezpečná a ničím sa na nej nedalo poraniť. Ach, v dňoch, keď sú vlny, som si pomyslel/a, že by bolo dobré mať bezpečnostné pásy, pretože pri vysokej rýchlosti hrozí vypadnutie zo sedadla, aj keď len nehybne sedíte :) Sprievodca: Yoga nám spolu s brífingom o harmonogramu výletu vysvetlil pravidlá, ktoré je potrebné dodržiavať kvôli bezpečnosti a ochrane miest, a sbydlou a pozitívnou energiou nám na každom mieste urobil skvelé fotky a prirodzene viedol konverzáciu. Aj počas šnorchlovania držal záchranné koleso a sprevádzal nás, manželský pár, pre ktorých nie je plávanie v mori úplne prirodzené, vďaka čomu sme mohli vidieť krásne koralové útesy, ryby, korytnačky a dokonca aj žraloky! Ak budú moji priatelia nabudúce cestovať do Labuan Bajo, určite im ho odporúčam! Harmonogram: Ostrov Padar - Ružová pláž - Národný park Komodo, potom obed, návšteva krásnej pláže a šnorchlovanie v Manta Point a Reef Point. Výlet sa začína o 6:00 ráno a končí okolo 15:30 - 16:00, čo sa mi zdalo tak akurát :) Bezpečnosť: Mali sme profesionálneho kapitána a personál, takže sme nemali žiadne veľké obavy. Bolo však povedané, že kvôli silnému vetru boli vlny drsnejšie ako zvyčajne. Hoci nebývam morská/morský chorý/á, dnes to bolo trochu náročné. Aj keď za bežných okolností nemávate chorobu z pohybu, bolo by dobré si pre istotu vziať lieky proti nevoľnosti.

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:

Vodič nás vyzdvihol presne načas a pred siedmou sme už boli na lodi a začali výlet. Každá atrakcia splnila očakávania, ružová pláž nebola presne ako na propagačných obrázkoch, ale stále bola veľmi ružová. Sprievodca nebol veľmi vtipný, ale bol veľmi zodpovedný. Počas šnorchlovania nám aktívne pomáhal s fotením a ťahal záchranný kruh pre menej zdatných hostí. Keď sme na Manta Pointe nestretli manty, vzal nás do Mawanu, aby sme ich hľadali tam, a my sme mali to šťastie, že sme videli manty plávať priamo pred nami. Loď nebola taká luxusná ako na propagačných obrázkoch, ale na výlet to bolo prijateľné. Od obedových balíčkov nečakajte nič, neboli ani chutné, ani nechutné, hlavne že zasýtili. Ak by sa platil len poplatok za zájazd, bolo by to veľmi rozumné, ale vstupné do národného parku je príliš drahé, 400 000 IDR na osobu, čo trochu kazí dojem. Všetko ostatné bolo skvelé.

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful cruise around the Komodo National Park beauties. The price is high but the crew kindness, the food and the service on the boat worth it. The only suggestion is to avoid the deluxe room as they are downstairs, noisy because of the engine and they smell of fuel. Note also that in August the itinerary may change due to the wind and some iconic stops might be skipped.
