• 1WORST EXPERIENCE W A TOURISM AGENCY

  DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS AGENCY. We have had an absolutely terrible experience and have lost A LOT of money because of them. Our trip had to be cancelled/rerouted because of the earthquake and the situation was completely outside of our control. The agency initially agreed to a 50% refund, but then changed their position and refused to refund us based on terms and conditions that were never properly shared or explained to us at the time of booking. What is particularly unacceptable is that these terms were only brought up after something went wrong. If these conditions are so important, they should have been clearly provided and explained BEFORE taking a significant amount of money from customers — not suddenly presented when a genuine emergency happens. The customer service throughout this situation has been extremely disappointing and completely unprofessional. There has been no sense of understanding or willingness to help customers who are dealing with a major disruption caused by a natural disaster. We booked this trip in good faith and have now lost a substantial amount of money. The way this situation has been handled has completely ruined our experience and left us feeling that the customer was simply left to deal with the financial consequences. Think very carefully before booking with this company.

  Had the most amazing day. Well organised and friendly staff. Good English speaking guide who was helpful throughout. The day itself was incredible. The Komodo’s were amazing and the pink beach was stunning. Lucky enough to see Manyas and snorkel with them as well as see some baby sharks and dolphins. Incredible day all round

• 2Disapointing tour

  Dont do this tour during rainy season. Dont buy tour in advance but locally. Consider multiday tour instead.

• 5Great day in Komodo

  Excellent day out. Saw 4 dragons and multiple mantas, turtles, sharks etc, while snorkeling. Boys loved it. Tour organization till we got to the boat could’ve been better, but once we got to the boat, Gorges and crew was excellent. Overall definitely worth it.
