Labuan Bajo

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!

Such an underrated tour! Our tour guide Arif went above and beyond! He was so flexible and accomodating and is amazing at taking pictures! This is the only tour that allows a tour to the waterfall AND the caves, and ending on the most beautiful sunset. It is also a smaller tour group which makes it even better. We were running slightly behind schedule, but Arif and the driver managed to get us to the last location just in time for the sunset. They also kept the car in such clean conditions. Truly an amazing tour, would highly recommend. Thank you Arif and our driver!

Båtens skick: Båten var i utmärkt skick! Den var ren, det fanns inga delar man kunde skada sig på och den var säker. Åh! När vågorna var höga och vi åkte snabbt, kände jag att det hade varit bra med säkerhetsbälten, eftersom det fanns en risk att falla av stolen även när man satt stilla :) Guide: Yoga gav en genomgång av resplanen och informerade om regler för säkerhet och skydd av besöksplatserna. Med en energisk och positiv attityd tog han bra bilder på varje plats och ledde samtalen på ett naturligt sätt. Under snorklingen höll han i en livboj och guidade oss, som inte är vana vid att simma i havet, så att vi kunde följa med. Tack vare honom fick vi se vackra koraller och fiskar, sköldpaddor och till och med hajar! Om mina vänner reser till Labuan Bajo i framtiden vill jag definitivt rekommendera honom! Resplan: Vi besökte Padar Island, Pink Beach och Komodo nationalpark, åt lunch, besökte en vacker strand och åkte sedan till Manta Point och Reef Point för snorkling. Resan började klockan 06:00 och slutade runt 15:30-16:00, vilket kändes lagom :) Säkerhet: Det fanns professionella båtförare och personal, så vi var inte särskilt oroliga. Dock var det en blåsig dag med ovanligt höga vågor. Jag brukar inte bli sjösjuk, men idag var det lite tufft. Även om man inte brukar bli sjösjuk kan det vara bra att ta med åksjukemedicin.

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.

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.

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:

Föraren var punktlig och hämtade oss, och före klockan sju var vi ombord på båten och påbörjade resan. Varje sevärdhet levde upp till förväntningarna; den rosa stranden var inte exakt som på reklambilderna, men den var ändå väldigt rosa. Guiden var inte särskilt humoristisk men mycket ansvarsfull, och under snorklingen var han mycket aktiv med att hjälpa oss att ta bilder och drog även med sig en livboj för de svagare gästerna. När vi inte hittade mantor vid Manta Point tog han oss till Mawan för att leta igen, och vi fick som vi önskade se mantor simma förbi framför oss. Båten var inte lika lyxig som på reklambilderna, men det var acceptabelt när man är ute och reser. Förvänta dig inget av matlådan; den var varken god eller dålig, det viktigaste var att den mättade. Om man bara ser till gruppresans pris är det mycket rimligt, men nationalparkens inträdesavgift var för dyr, 400 000 IDR per person, vilket kändes lite dåligt. Allt annat var utmärkt.

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.

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.
