Incredible scenery, timing with the fast boat was efficient, boat was comfortable and clean, staff (on sept 6) was amazing and great English which allowed me to learn a lot more about Komodo as well as local Indonesian culture in general. Great marine encounters (we saw a manta ray, baby sharks and turtles) which felt intimate and special because it didn’t feel overcrowded and each groups had loads of space. I could not recommend enough. Also, wasn’t going for the dragons but i ended up loving that too. Thank you so much to the team!”
