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.

AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME ! - 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

Beautiful experience with nature - Swimming with Manta rays and turtles, snorkelling with stunning fish in the corral. Seeing the Komodo dragons of all different sizes. Stunning views, sunrises, sunsets and star gazing. Some delicious food on the boat. The only downside was that it felt like the trip was for three of us , not two. We were always sharing the experience with the guide who stayed on the boat, meals, drinks and even when we were trying to relax on the boat on the upper deck with a drink in the evening as mother and daughter, we were having to share our personal duty free items with him. It was not a big issue but it would have been nice to have some time just the two of us in the evenings. Overall though an incredible experience.

Wonderful 3 day adventure - Just got back to land today. Our wonderful guide planned our excursions to be more exclusive by avoiding the crowds in all locations except the sunrise hike on Padre Island which he could not control. The boat crew were very attentive to all of our needs and the food was very good. The captain of the boat was very good and we felt safe. The waters were calm. We got to see Komodo dragons on Rinca Island and Komodo Island. We also saw the manta rays and turtles and LOTS of fish. The accomodations are basic, but were just fine for the two night 3 day Private tour we did. The AC worked great in our cabin so sleeping was very comfortable.

Very bad communication but excellent tour - Pros: boat very clean and pretty comfortable-it’s not a luxurious accommodation but good value for money. Simple yet excellent food - shoutout to Andi the cook! Friendly guide and crew; spectacular sightseeing and nature, snorkeling and hiking. We have been so lucky to see mantas, turtles, komodo dragons, monkeys and a lot of other marine life and land critters. Cons: very difficult and slow communication with the manager, had to stalk the guy via mail, whatsapp and even instagram to get information and feedback! Quite hard and stressful to get some answers, at some stage I started thinking I got caught up in a scam…. If you’re considering booking this trip don’t pay in advance, maybe you’ll get more attention and prompt reactions. Apart from suggesting an improvement in communications, I don’t have anything negative to say about the tour itself.

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

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!
