• 5Amazing 4 day live aboard experience

  Amazing 4 day trip with Bintang Komodo tours. Important to know there are additional fees for park entrance, but the office is very quick in communication via WhatsApp, so they can explain what to expect. Small and simple boat, but friendly crew, very nice food and a great (not to crowded) program. We saw a lot of Komodo’s, sharks, turtles, dolphins, Manta’s and wild boar. Our guide Jerry was clear with instructions and expectations and always checking to see if we were comfortable. Amazing snorkeling and trekking with beautiful views. We had the best time!

• 1Poorly Executed Tour, but Interesting Sites

  We had a very disappointing experience for the following reason: (1) on the boat we had a sleeping cabin with one split cot-double bed and a cot sized bunk bed and only room for one person to stand. The beds were nothing more than plastic cot mattresses . The sleeping cabin had windows on the front and back walls with curtains that only went 2/3 way down, while the glass in the door did not have any covering. There was no room to maneuver, no privacy and bright gunnel lights at night. We each had one thin towel. The wet bath consisted of a toilet that you had to scoop water into for flushing. It did not have a sink. The water was also regularly turned off so you would have to ask for it to be turned on so that you could wash your hands with the shower head or to take a shower. We were relegated to the front of the boat that had two wooden bench seats with a table. It was very uncomfortable and not relaxing, plus the captains station faced the table and he smoked the entire time. (2) The guide left a lot to be desired. First he did not even introduce us to the crew. He spoke softly, laughed 1/2 way through a sentence, and was very hard to understand. Often his answers did not match our question. He sat at the table with us the entire time we were sitting at the table and at times also included his “friend” (that is how he was introduced and not part of the company) that he brought along. Most of the time he was deeply engrossed on his phone. On outings, such as the beach, he would send his friend to follow us, so we never had alone on the entire trip unless we went to our “fishbowl” cabin. I made it clear three times that I was upset, yet he never asked why or what could be changed. (3) The sights were amazing. The snorkeling spots were beautiful with many different types of healthy coral and interest fish. Certainly a must do when visiting. The Komodo experience on Komodo Island was great and we saw plenty of Komodo’s, including the biggest one. The ranger was very interesting and knowledgeable. Rica Island with more dragons was somewhat disappointing, since for a hefty entrance fee, you basically made a big circle to saw a few dragons. The flying foxes were really cool to watch with an astounding number in flight; well worth seeing. In conclusion, I wish that timing had not so rigid (arrival and departure times at each site was timed to the minute), since we were the only clients on the boat. Also constantly having his friend walk two feet behind us was very annoying. If we had to do it over again, we would stay at a hotel near the port (cute area) and take a one day boat trip to the three major sites that are easily reachable (Komodo Island, one or two snorkeling sites, and the flying foxes at dusk).

• 5Stunning Komodo National Park

  Best way to see the stunning Komodo National Park. We had a great time on a very comfortable live aboard for 2 nights/days. Our kids (11 and 8) loved everything except getting out of bed for the sunrise hike! The crew were discrete and friendly and the guide was very informative.

• 5Experience of a lifetime

  it was the most amazing trip we' ve ever done in our lives. My wife and I were the only passengers on the boat, which had 5 crew and a guide called Rian. I'm mid 60's and have a dodgy knee, and he helped us so much on the trip, especially with the snorkelling, as my wife is also a nervous swimmer. Rian took some very good underwater shots with his go pro underwater camera, which included lots of turtles, rays and beautifully coloured fish. He is a very good at English, and a fun person, we would highly recommend him. The food the crew cooked for us at every meal, was delicious and plentiful. We went to Komodo island and saw lots of Komodo dragons, and got some great photo's. We also saw the nightly flight of thousands of fruit bats, which was such a spectacular sight.

About Komodo

Komodo is an island in eastern Indonesia and the heart of a national park, where the world's largest lizards roam dry hills above clear reef waters.

Komodo Island lies in the Lesser Sunda Islands between Sumbawa and Flores, and with nearby Rinca, Padar and many smaller islands it forms Komodo National Park, a World Heritage site since 1991. The Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard, can reach three metres, and hunts deer, wild boar and water buffalo across the savanna and monsoon forest.
