5.00We booked this early bird tour, and everything was perfectly organized. We had a fantastic day and will never forget such adventures. We swam with manta rays and saw several Komodo dragons. If you want an unforgettable experience, don't hesitate to book this tour with this organization.
What’s wonderful day!

5.00We had a fantastic day. We started early and were one of the first boats at Padar. After hiking to the top of the island we went to visit the dragons at Komodo Island. What amazing animals. I was surprised by how close you can get to them. Then we went snorkeling where we saw manta ray and several sea turtles as well as an array of beautiful fish. Benny was a fantastic guide!! At all times communication was excellent prior to our trip. Can’t say enough good things!
Definitely recommended.

5.00For a fast personal custom experience definitely recommended. Early morning on time departure and hike to avoid heat of day. 7 dragons ranger and not pushing stupid photos and working around large groups. Custom snorkel options if desired.
Top service!

5.00What a fantastic day! From before the start, to the drp off, this was one of the best tours we've had. We contacted Ervis at Komodo Snorkel directly by WhatsApp. Communication was very prompt with lots of information. We opted for a private day trip on a Medium size boat, perfect for three of us and meant transit times were fast. Ervis came to our hotel to brief our trip, provide options and take payment. Payment was easy, and was all inclusive (apart from tips). We opted to go early and it was well worth it. We beat the crowds to Padar and walked up to the viewpoint as the 'Sunrisers' were coming down. Alousius was our guide, and he was great. His English was perfect and knew everything we needed to know about the landscape, culture, flora and fauna. We opted for the long trek at Komodo, our ranger was Ivan, who again was great. The long trek gave us plenty of opportunity to see the dragons (6 in total), some of them very close. We also went to Kampung Komodo before heading off to Pink Beach, then the sand bar, Manta point and Turtle town. We swam with mantas, tutles and sharks. A truly amazing life experience. Thank you very much Ervis and the Komodo Snorkel team. My family and I would thoroughly recommend Komodo Snorkel to give you one of the most memorable experiences ever.
Awesome boat day

5.00Overall 5/5 stars here. Easy communication on WhatsApp. Did private boat tour and saw all the hot spots and to see the dragons ofcourse. Boat was clean, boat staff very safe and reliable. Guide was above and beyond. Overall highly recommend this company for your power boat tour. Was nice to move quickly from point to points in comfort and speed. House boats are nice, but powerboat gives you more flexibility. Over the top service from Ervis! Top notch. Thanks guys, see you again!
A perfect tour

5.00What a fabulous day! Our boat was clean and our captain, crew, and guide were friendly and professional. We had a great time climbing the steps at Pulau Padar, trekking through Komodo Island looking for dragons, and snorkeling. Manta Point was an absolute highlight and we also swam with turtles at another snorkel spot. The coral reefs were beautiful and well populated with all kinds of colorful fish and sea stars. Definitely book this trip!!!
Komodo treasures.

5.00Had an amazing day with Fidel and crew. Started with a walk to see the dragons, followed by a visit to the pink beach which was stunning with some great snorkeling. Next stop was a secluded sand bank with beautifully clear water where we had a relaxing swim. Next we went to Manta point where we were lucky enough to swim with huge manta ray-this was an absolutely amazing experience. Final stop was a snorkel with turtles. We only sat on turtle but was still and amazing experience. Highly recommend this tour.
Great!
