• Amazing 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!

• Poorly 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).

  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.

• Experience 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.

• Superb boat and land tour of the Komodo Islands with Bintang Komodo Tours!

  We had the most amazing tour of the Komodo and surrounding islands with Bintang Komodo Tours! Communication for the planning of the tour with the operator was easy and efficient. Our guide on the boat part of the tour, Rian, was a real expert in helping us to understand and experience all that this amazing area has to offer. The boat was large and comfortable with AC if needed and a crew of 5, each of whom would always smile brightly whenever you said a hello or a thank you. We found the bathroom and shower perfectly adequate - yes it is basic but quite typical of a simple boat and just fine. The meals cooked onboard were absolutely delicious, very varied and were adjusted to our dietary requirements. We learned so much from Rian about the islands, the wildlife and life on Flores, it was always a joy spending time with him. The snorkeling was spectacular, Rian made sure we saw manta rays up close, lots of turtles, so many colorful fish and beautiful corals. He really knew where the best and quietest spots to snorkel were. The Komodo dragons fill you with awe and we saw many! We saw the sky filled with flying foxes leaving their roosts in the mangroves for feeding on fruit on Flores Island at sunset, literally many 1000s of them! The 4th day was spent on land seeing more of Flores Island, hiking to a remote waterfall high in the mountains followed by a boat trip to a cave, both of these required a reasonable degree of agility and fitness. We met so many local people and children with beaming smiles eager to practice their English and learn about us. Flores is truly a magical place that we will never forget. Hands down, this was one of the very best tours we have ever done and would do again in a heartbeat - we will be back!

  We had a really beautiful experience!! The ship was amazing and the staff very kind and professional and we found a very special chef who cooked amazing food on the boat. We where lucky enough to see almost all the animals we where looking for, did a lot of snorkeling in amazing places with sea turtles, little sharks, stingrays and more! Our guide Alfys was absolutely one of the best guides we ever met, very nice and gentle, well prepared and professional for our experience. Thanks to him and the captain we also made some little change in the schedule to avoid stormy weather, without even loosing the Padar Island sunrise! Totally recommended and we hope to make something similar again in the future! Federico & Giovanna
