We did the shared cruise by speed boat day trip (6 destinations) which we booked through our hotel. We were a bit nervous as we had booked last minute, however the company was recommended by our hotel and we are glad we decided to go ahead with the tour.
We managed to see 6 amazing destinations (Padar Island, Pink beach, Komodo national park, Taka Makasar, Manta point and turtle bay).
The tour started early (hotel pick up at 06:10) and we spent 10 hours in total, including return to hotel. We were very lucky as we only had to share the boat with one other couple and so we were four people in total.
The speedboat felt secure, safe and was very efficient going from island to island.
The crew were very friendly and helpful, generally nice people and really wanted to make sure we had fun and were comfortable at all times.
All the island's were amazing, however Taka Makasar was by far my favourite. A small beach in the middle of the ocean, turquoise water, the essence of paradise.
The icing on the cake was snorkelling in manta point and turtle bay, the captain of the boat accompanied us while we did snorkelling and help us navigate through the water. We felt safe at all times. Although it was not season to see mantas, the abundance of corals and tropical fish we managed to see was just perfect. We managed to see a huge sea turtle too !
In all, we had an amazing day, blessed with amazing weather, great company, and a profesional and attentive crew.
I recommend this company, and the day trip was perfect to see all the top destinations of Labuan Bajo.
Thanks again to everyone who made this day so special.
