1 Day Backpacker Island-hopping around Komodo National Park

It was a good trip and we made the most of the good weather, except for a bit of rain on the last day. The crew were very caring and made sure we enjoyed the trip from beginning to end. The guide, Phion did a good job, being with us like a traveller and taking care of our son, including cradling him for a while during the Padar Island hike. He also took me to the Komodo village on Komodo Island, providing me with a chance to meet the villagers and see around their tiny settlement. The food was fine and we particularly liked the drinks. Looks like the roof needs to be fixed to avoid water leaking in the bedroom during rain. The first two days went according to plan, however, the final day was a bit of a disappointer, I must say. We had been given a hint at possible bad weather the previous night and it was confirmed on the third day morning. The guide informed us we could not make it to Taka Makassar and Kanawa as the waves could be menacing. Instead, they would try to look for some 'less known spots' near the Komodo island. A while after, this was not the case. They asked us if we could return to Labuan Bajo if the rain didn't stop soon though the sky was brightening up quickly. I wasn't happy happy about this and asked for one spot to stop by on the way back and revisit Manjerite snorkelling spot (which we did on Day 1). They agreed, but again, there was no stop at any scenic spot, rather the boat headed to Manjerite. We had a good time there before reaching back to LB at 1 pm. The itinerary says the tour ends at 4.10 pm on the last day. We had no problem abiding by the Captain's rules and regulations set based on weather conditions. At the same time, we felt that they could have taken us to other spots where we wouldn't meet with rough seas. We passed by several beaches on the way back and we had years of time to relax there or take a swim. The boats that sailed with us (the same ones, more than 10 or 12) on Day 1 & 2 were not to be seen with us on the way back. May be something the organisers could think about for future trips. Thanks.

I am very dissapointed , you are misseling and missinforming people , the ship crew ismaking extra money on park entry 350.000 is a bit much . You advertised komodo island but we git rinca instead plus instead of 5 destination there were four. I do expect a partial refund as reimbursment, orllotherwise i will ensure my review is on every single website you advertise your services.

Really enjoyed the trip. I especially liked swimming with the Manta Rays that was a once in a lifetime experience! The food was very tasty and our guide Teddy was very friendly and knowledgeable. My only criticism would be that I felt a bit cramped on the boat, it was very hot and when the boat wasn't moving it felt very stuffy. We were right at the front so could open the window. Really enjoyed the day though I would definitely recommend.

Went for 2d1n trip. The boat is clean and comfy with various spaces to chill. The crews are nice and very accommodating with our wishes. The food is plenty and tasty, especially the juice and seafood. The price is also great!
