Labuan Bajo

Kondisyon ng Bangka: Napakaganda ng kondisyon ng bangka! Malinis ito, walang anumang bahagi na maaaring makasakit, at ligtas. Ah! Sa mga araw na malalaki ang alon, naisip ko na maganda sana kung may seatbelt para hindi mahulog sa upuan kahit nakaupo lang habang mabilis ang takbo :) Gabay: Si Yoga ay nagbigay ng briefing sa itinerary ng tour at ipinaalam ang mga patakaran na dapat sundin para sa kaligtasan at pangangalaga ng mga lugar na pinupuntahan. Sa bawat lugar ng tour, masigla at positibo siyang kumuha ng magagandang litrato at natural na nakipag-usap. Sa snorkeling, ginabayan niya kaming mag-asawa na hindi sanay lumangoy sa dagat sa pamamagitan ng paghawak sa life tube, at dahil doon, nakita namin ang magagandang corals at isda, pati na rin ang mga pagong at pating! Kung maglalakbay ang mga kaibigan ko sa Labuan Bajo sa susunod, gusto ko siyang irekomenda! Itinerary: Pupunta kami sa Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo National Park, pagkatapos ay kakain ng tanghalian, bibisita sa isang magandang beach, at pagkatapos ay mag-snorkeling sa Manta Point at Reef Point. Nagsimula ito ng 6 AM at natapos ng mga 3:30-4 PM, na sa tingin ko ay sapat lang :) Kaligtasan: Dahil may mga propesyonal na boat driver at staff, wala kaming gaanong inaalala. Gayunpaman, sinabi nila na maalon ang dagat kaysa sa karaniwan dahil sa malakas na hangin. Hindi ako nahihilo sa bangka, ngunit medyo nahirapan ako ngayon. Kahit hindi ka nahihilo sa bangka, magandang magdala ng gamot para sa hilo.

Ang driver ay dumating nang eksakto sa oras upang sunduin kami, at bago mag-alas siyete ay nakasakay na kami sa bangka upang simulan ang tour. Ang bawat destinasyon ay ayon sa inaasahan; ang pink beach ay hindi tulad ng nasa promotional picture, ngunit ito ay napakapink pa rin. Ang tour guide ay hindi masyadong nakakatawa ngunit napaka-responsable; aktibo siyang tumulong sa pagkuha ng aming mga larawan habang nag-snorkeling at hinila rin ang lifebuoy para sa mga mas mahinang bisita. Nang hindi kami nakakita ng manta ray sa Manta Point, dinala niya kami sa Mawan upang maghanap muli ng manta ray, at sa wakas ay nakita namin ang manta ray na lumalangoy sa aming harapan. Ang bangka ay hindi kasing-ganda ng nasa promotional picture, ngunit katanggap-tanggap naman ito para sa isang paglalakbay. Huwag umasa ng marami sa lunch box; hindi ito masarap at hindi rin naman masama, ang mahalaga ay nakakabusog. Ang bayad ay makatwiran kung ito ay para lamang sa tour fee, ngunit ang entrance fee sa national park ay napakamahal, 400,000 IDR bawat tao, na medyo nakakadismaya. Ang lahat ng iba pa ay napakaganda.

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:

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.

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!

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.

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.

Overall it was a great experience. BUT the price was too much. We paid nearly 900,000 Rp but there were offers for 400,000 Rp for the same experience.

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.
