This was a lovely tour that surpassed my expectations. I traveled with my 6month old and the tour was very accommodating for me and my family. The hike was beautiful, the pink sand was perfect for a family swim, the Komodo park was really cool, the snorkeling was the icing on top. We were able to swim with turtles and Manta Rays they were so huge! Awesome tour and the tour guides were awesome.
This tour was everything...

This tour was everything we wanted from a Komodo Islands tour. You get picked up early, but right on time, so when you arrive at Padar Island you are some of the first people there. We got amazing photos and saw tons of tourists arriving behind us. All of the stops were great but we didn’t expect to love the snorkeling as much as we did. We saw baby sharks, manta rays, and sea turtles, it was awesome. Separately, they made a gluten free lunch for my girlfriend who has celiac, which was really important to us. Overall I’m so happy we chose this tour and 100% recommend it.
Perfect day trip

We've been on many tours, and this might have been the best day trip we've had. Everything was perfectly timed, and we saw some many incredible sights, including Komodos and Manta rays. Definitely book this trip!
Perfect organization

It was a top experience today with a great crew. We were there in front of the crowds and enjoyed all the sights we Padar Island or Pinky Beach and Kommodo Island alone.
An absolutely amazing day!

I can highly recommend this trip! The early pick up absolutely made the difference! As most tours do the same route we were 60-90 minutes ahead of the other groups. Very few people on the look out walk, maybe 20 people on pink beach, on Komodo we only saw one other group when we did our trek! We were so lucky on Komodo we saw 9 Komodo Dragons, one being only a month old! The park guides were great fellas and their photo skills were amazing!! What an absolute highlight! Then off to an afternoon of snorkeling! Unfortunately no Manta Rays, they hadn’t sight one for a few days. Also the wrong season to see them. Three stops all a bit different, again the boys from the tour kept an eye on everyone! The coral and fish were a treat to the senses! The boat was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The lunch given to us was delicious and in a reusable container. After pastries were provided on the way back to Labuan Bajo. Thank you Harry our guide and your colleagues as we had an amazing day!
