We couldn't recommend it highly enough. Hugo was a great host. We got contacted the afternoon before th trip for our details which they need to do they can arrange for a pass for you, so make sure you check your phone. The snorkeling equipment is all arranged for you if you haven't got your own. The team was great, Hugo's English was great and he was very knowledgeable. We got lucky to see both manta rays and turtles, and quite a few Komodo dragons. The coral reef is absolutely stunning. If you have a go pro, please take it for the snorkeling. The lunch was nice and there was plenty of water and soft drinks offered. We will remember that trip to the rest of our life. There was an incident that happened on a different boat, Hugo didn't hesitate to jump in and help. Bravo, bravo. Very impressed by his reaction and no hesitation in the situation. Well done. We would definitely take a tour with them again. Thank you.

We saw the dragon, the manta rays, the turtles and the baby sharks. It was spectacular. We did 2 hikes, one easy and one hard. Went to the pink beach and the sandbank. Our team was excellent. They even saved another boat!!!

Such an amazing experience! From pickup to drop off, everything was so smooth. Our guides made sure everything was taken care of, were full of facts and helped us get killer pics! 10/10 would recommend.

Don’t look any further, this tour has it all! Very capable crew and good communication and organisation. Would defenitly recommend this trip. Amazing experience!

Amazing day! The whole tour start to finish was incredible! Amazing staff for all things! We see 2 manta, 6 Komodo! 10/10

We had a wonderful time! Really friendly and helpful staff on the boat and very well organised. Lots of variety on the trip with the activities and saw lots of marine life.

What a fantastic day. Hugo and the crew were great. From the proactive communication before the trip to the pick up in time by a friendly driver. Everything was well organized during the day, water, fresh fruits aandgood lunch, snacks. Hugo and the team were so good to spot on animals and take amazing pictures from us. In addition a lot of respect for the nature. Do not hesitate to book them if you want a great day full of good memories!!

This was a wonderful all-day excursion. Very well organized. Great staff…friendly and knowledgeable. We saw all the creatures we had hoped to see…the Komodo dragons and manta rays. The tour started earlier than other companies and we were able to view various sites with minimal crowds. I recommend this tour highly.

My daughter (25) and I (68) had a fabulous day on the one day Komodo trip by speed boat organised by Bintang Komodo tours. Doddy Kardi contacted us the day before the tour to arrange the right size flippers and goggles, also considering and catering for food restrictions. The whole tour was extremely well organised right from the start. Hotel pickup was punctual, getting our small group through the clearance process at the harbour was quick and efficient. First stop was beautiful Padar Island with its breathtaking view from the top. I had a small accident and my wound was skilfully cleaned and bandaged up with care. The turquoise blue waters and Pink Beach with a variety of shells and corals washed up on its shore was our next stop. After that we went ashore on Komodo Island where 2 local guides took over, teaching us about the life of these monitor lizards. We watched two big males fighting close by. Again this tour was well organised, keeping everyone safe. The afternoon was spent snorkeling near Makassar Island, a crescent shaped patch of sand and Kanawa Island. Mesmerising to watch the underwater world - all the colours, shapes and sizes of fish and coral; sea turtles grazing and coming up for a breath. We did not see any Manta Rays as they are feeding elsewhere in August. Again all guides on board kept everyone safe. They took great care looking after tourists whose swimming ability was minimal. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Doddy and your crew. S. Taylor, Australia

An early start for exploring all of the "must see" locations for Komodo National Park area but it's worth it to start early to have a head start on the majority of boats that are also going to be heading to the same areas. The boat is not large but was comfortable and the trip out into the National Park was smooth. The Padar Island hike will get your heart pumping but is not "difficult" and is well worth the spectacular views. Pink Beach was stunning and offers the chance to have a swim and cool off after the hike. While it was interesting to see the Komodo Dragons up close, that stop was probably our least favourite part of the entire day. The walk to see the dragons is led by the local rangers who were informative and eager to take photos...but then essentially "told" they group they "had" to be tipped for their services. Lunch on Komodo was a simple boxed lunch but tasty. The afternoon was spent snorkelling and it was SPECTACULAR! This is the true gem of the trip as the water, clarity, coral cover and diversity of marine life make it absolutely stunning. We were also fortunate enough to see a manta and several turtles. The entire boat crew, in particular the guides Harri and Rambo were very friendly, clear about the program and made sure everyone had a good time. We highly recommend, especially to explore the area if you have limited time.

Fantastic tour! The tour guide spoke great English and provided plenty of drinks and lunch for the trip. You sail in a clean and comfortable speedboat giving ample time to see lots of the beautiful islands and coral reefs at Komodo National park. Snorkelling gear provided was of high quality and leaving earlier in the day than other tours meant you avoided the crowds at each site seeing spot. Would highly recommend this for your Indonesia trip - best nature/culture excursion we did! Thanks to everyone who helped out on the day.

We had a great time exploring the Komodo national park area. Would recommend if you're short on time, but still want to experience all the cool spots.

Had a great time on this excursion. Grateful we started so early so we had a cooler hike up Pader Island. When we were descending the other tour groups had started to arrive, and it had gotten very busy and very hot! The guides were incredibly accommodating and involved with everyone’s safety. The hike up paid is quite steep with about 850 steps.

BEST snorkeling in decades! Actually, the ENTIRE day was a ton of fun. I was twice the age in years of the rest at 66 years old but I climbed those 900 stairs on first island stop. We were very fortunate the entire trip. The clouds added drama to the sky and cooling shade from the hot sun. The pink sand beach is pinker when wet. This also was a GREAT snorkeling spot, the first of 4 because the shallow depth allows coral and fish colors to pop. The other snorkeling spots will be jumps from the boat. Stick close to the guides who will point out the sea turtles because they will be camouflaged. We swam with one. The manta rays are gorgeous but move quickly as they fly through the water. Komodo Island has 1000 dragons and Sept is mating season. We saw one well-fed 25 year old and two much smaller and active ones came through during our lunch break! The seas were calm but I took some medicine just in case. I also used my own snorkel and mask.

Best day ever! Amazing guides and the trip was planned and executed perfectly by them. Not a single boring moment. We even saw manta rays!
