  My husband and I decided to book this excursion just for the two of us, and it was a winning choice as, on the one hand, it allowed us to see the beaches on our own and on the other hand to visit Padar and see the dragons at the best hours and in the best light Regarding the boat, I would like to make a distinction: the food is really good and the staff fantastic (our Rian guide absolutely recommended). The boat itself, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired and this should be properly marked so as not to make the customer find himself unprepared. I dare not imagine what it would be like when it travels fully loaded with 8/10 tourists. Cabin aside what you have around makes you enjoy every little moment.

• 3 day and 2 night trip to Komodo National Park on a terrible hot boat because the air condition we paid for did not work

  The crew, guide, food and service were good. The boat itself was terrible. We had paid extra for an air condition room for sleeping and storage of our luggage. However, the air conditioner did not work. The crew could not fix it and apologized for the inconvenience. The room was always very hot, around 85 F, and not comfortable for staying or sleeping. Also, the shower did not work and there was no sink for washing hands. Moreover, the shuttle boat was too small and required two trips each way for loading us (2 people) and our luggage separately. The ladder on the small shuttle boat was very short and it was very difficult to climb back into the boat after snorkeling. We did not see any other shuttle boats this small. We expect a refund of several hundred dollars for this major inconvenience especially the lack of air conditioning in our sleeping room for which we paid extra.

• Best way to explore Komodo!

  This trip was amazing. Our guide, Juan Miun, was very friendly and ensured we were comfortable throughout the 3 days. We visited some of the best snorkeling we’ve ever seen and got up-close with 9 Komodo Dragons. The food onboard was great and the crew were all fun and friendly. The only thing that could be better is if the AC unit didn’t drain onto the bathroom floor- felt a bit gross when going to the bathroom and getting back in bed in the middle of the night. Other than than, we loved every second.

  They tried to make me pay twice for the tour and threatened me. I had to turn to the police. Very careful with them.

• Bucket list trip done (and more).

  The crew and guid were fantastic. The snorkeling amazing and the Komodo dragons mind blowing. On request they changed the trip to avoid big crowds because it was weekend and very busy. They knocked it out of the park. Incredible.

• Terrible experience.... make sure you read all the negative reviews!

  This was my second time cruising the Komodo islands. The islands are spectacularly beautiful. The crew of the boat were nice and capable. Unfortunately the boat was far from being good value and was nothing like the photo in the online description. For $750 dollars a night our boat had a cramped and dirty bedroom, a small combined toilet and shower room with a non-flushing toilet and a very weak shower with no hot water. There was no sink or tap water to clean your hands after being to the toilet. Their snorkeling equipment was old and falling apart. The worst part of the overall experience, which potentially could have been life threatening, was that despite being clearly told my wife has a shellfish allergy they served us a shrimp salad for dinner one evening!! We were so unhappy with this experience that we cut our trip short and asked the crew to take us back to port on the morning of our third day. I have rented boats and crew all over south east asia including Komodo and this was the worst experience and value I have had. If you are thinking of renting a boat from Bintang Komodo make sure you get the full details about the facilities before you give them $750 per night. Or be prepared to be ripped off!

• Very poor value for money and dangerous experience!

  My family recently traveled with Travass Life for a 3-day, 2-night liveaboard on the Papiton 2, sailing around Komodo Island, and it was an amazing experience! The booking process was smooth, and the staff on board were incredibly helpful and friendly. The itinerary was well-planned, offering a perfect mix of guided tours and plenty of relaxation time on the beach. Our guide, Phionbarti, was knowledgeable and passionate, making the tours engaging and informative. The other guests on board were fun and friendly, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The boat accommodations were comfortable, and the view from our cabin window was simply stunning. The food was delicious, with breakfast being particularly healthy and tasty. Overall, Travass Life provided my family with an unforgettable trip, and I highly recommend their services. If you're considering this adventure, go for it—you won't regret it! if you want to see videos and more pictures of the itinerary , you can check it out here. https://www.tiktok.com/@unclejay1968?lang=en
