Komodo dragons and stunning views with a great crew - Overall, a fabulous day out with a great team. Highlights: * Komodo Island, naturally. We had 3 guides for our group of 25, and were well-briefed (e.g. don’t go off the path into the bush !). We were warned we might not see any Komodo dragons, so seeing one - and then seeing it MOVE (quite quickly, really, scattering tourists everywhere) - was a huge thrill. And then we saw 2 more. Amazing. * Padar Island. It doesn’t look like much as you get to it, but the views really are astonishing. LOTS of people climbing up and down the (well-built) stairs, so it was good we were there fairly early. * the crew. Really good communication beforehand, and a great team on the day. I’m not so great at getting on and off rocking boats - I had plenty of helpers ! * Pink Sand Beach -what a gorgeous spot for lunch and a swim. Suggestions: * the TripAdviser brief description says the tour is for 20 people - but in the details it says 36. We had 25, which was fine (especially as we met some like-minded travellers and had a great day - and evening - together) * entrance fees aren’t included, which is clear from the description. But you don’t find out until after you’ve booked how much they are -IDR 425,000 per person. It would be good to be pre-warned about that before you book. It’s still well worth it, though. * the included lunch is ok, but fairly small for an all-day active tour. * the snorkelling gear is free, which is great - but the masks aren’t so good. Of our little group of 4, 3 of us found our mask/snorkels didn’t work well, even with tightening. So, we tried snorkelling at the first 2 spots but not the third - too hard when masks kept filling up. * we’d been given a pick up time of 5.30-5.50am for a 6.30am departure. The driver was right on time at 5.30am. And then by the time we’d picked up other passengers, it was 6.40am. And it turns out the harbour is just a 5 minute drive from where we were staying. Obviously the tour waited for us, but 70 minutes is a long time driving around - had we known, we’d have just made our own way to the harbour. Overall, though, it was a great tour, we saw what we’d hoped to see (and more) and we’d happily take this tour again.

Fun packed adventure. Worth the value for. - Amazing one pack adventure. Be ready to hike, swim your arms away to see the magical fishes of the sea aswell the gentle walk at the king komodo park. Bring extra snacks to be energised because you do need energy for this trip at this heat, I really loved the New Hope 9 crew who helped us all the way. Although we didnt see the manta ray but turtles, baby sharks and the amazing corals really put a smile on your face and my 10 year old son aswell.

Thank you Gorgeous and his crew!! - Our guides were amazing from start to finish! Gorgeous and his crew were fun, engaging, went above and beyond to make sure we caught all the moments. Our favorite part was the extra effort to see the manta rays away from the crowd. That was an experience you should not miss!

Dreams come true ! - Charter boat to Padar Island, Komodo National Park, Pink Beach- snorkeling & Manta Ray cleaning station. Jennifer @ Ayana resort can book this full day tour.

Loved the tour! - We had a really great time going on this tour! Everything was arranged and just as the itinerary had listed! Overall we had a really nice time, and the speedboat was air conditioned. Go on this tour with an open mind, and all will be well. The staff genuinely want to show you their way of life, and work hard to help you look for Manta Rays, beautiful corals, and adorable sea turtles (if you are lucky, you might even see a few cute baby sharks). So if it seems a little chaotic in the water, that's because of their passion!

Epic summer adventure - Great day! Ended up being 50 passengers, not the 36 as stated in description. Big boat and fast. The stops were epic. Did not like that they switched itinerary and we only had 45 min on Pink beach, would have preferred to have lunch on Pink Beach. Would definitely book again. Amazing underwater sea life. We saw a manta ray swimming, it was incredible. So many fish, coral, etc. Padar island was incredible. 40 min hike up for epic views. Wear sneakers and bring flip flops for beach. Bring snacks as it’s a long day!

Trip of a Lifetime! - This was one of the most incredible tours we have ever done! The scenery was breath-taking, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and it was surreal to see Komodo dragons up close (but at a safe distance). Our guide Bobby was very professional and full of humor, and he helped out with our 4-year old son getting on and off the boat. He felt like family by the time we left. Highly recommend this experience, especially Bobby!

All the Komodo highlights in one tour - Excellent tour. Padar Island climb, Pink sands, Komodo Dragon, Snokelling with Turtles. Everything the brochure said except we couldn’t find a Mantaray

Nice but be careful they are smart 🙃 we did not visit Komodo island and a guide ran away with my rest 💸 - A guide didn't give me the rest of the money I paid he had to give me 50,000 rupees of change but he disappeared. We have no Visited the island of Komodo but another we were told that the island of Komodo is closed and reopens on 23/01/2025. It fits but they should write it first bad and bad even one of the organizers disappeared with my rest

Commodo tour - Our tickets included island tickets they still want money even I show them it’s was paid I have to pay again at entrance. Please don’t use this local travel agent
