Review Body: My husband and I had a wonderful time on this Komodo boat trip and it was the highlight of our travels so far. I initially thought it’d be the islands and wildlife that would impress us the most but actually it was our guide Stefan, the crew and the people we met! The team were super attentive, Stefan was very knowledgeable and went to extra lengths to ensure we had the best trip, as did the rest of the team. We were super lucky to see manta rays, turtles, monkeys and Komodo dragons! The tour is quite packed but not overwhelming and you get to see so many different things within the 3 days. The food was incredible. The chefs were cooking up delicious meals daily - we always had vegetarian options and something for everyone. We stayed in a private room and were happy as it had air con, enough space for our luggage and the bed was comfy enough. There’s also space on the upper deck for sunbathing and watching the sunset. We also had the best photographer. He went out of his way to take photos of us in and out of water and was very good at helping with how to pose and finding the perfect shot! On the last night, we got more time to mingle with the rest of the group and had a little karaoke session which was a really fun ending. Once again, we want to thank everyone in the team for this experience. It was truly one of a kind and one we will never forget. Thank you Stefan, the crew and La Famille team! We hope one day we can join again!

Review Body: An unforgettable experience in Komodo! We had such an amazing time on this trip. The crew on board couldn’t have been more welcoming and kind – they really made us feel at home from the very beginning. Our guide Thomas was fantastic as well. He always gave us clear instructions, explained everything really well and made sure we knew what to expect at every stop. And the food on board was absolutely delicious! We honestly didn’t expect to eat this well on a boat. 😍 My absolute highlight was the hike to Padar Island. The view from the top was absolutely breathtaking and easily one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth the early start and the hike! Another incredible experience was seeing the Komodo dragons. We were lucky enough to see six of them – and we even got to watch one of them eating! Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was something really special. The marine life was incredible too. We saw so many different animals while snorkeling and discovered species we had never seen before. It felt like there was something new to see at every stop. Between the incredible wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, beautiful sunsets on the boat, delicious food and the wonderful crew, this was an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Indonesia. ♥️ We would absolutely recommend this trip!

Review Body: We had the absolute best time on the 3D2N Komodo Cruise aboard Nonauly! The entire crew were incredible — so friendly, kind, and genuinely helpful. They always had a smile on their faces and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated how thoughtful they were with the food. They prepared separate vegetarian meals for me and always checked in to make sure there was something I could eat. It made such a difference and really showed how much they cared. The boat itself was beautiful, clean, and very well looked after. Everything you could possibly need was there, and you could tell a lot of care goes into keeping the boat comfortable and welcoming. Our guide and photographer were amazing too. They put so much effort into making sure we had the best experience, capturing all the special moments and making the whole trip even more memorable. Honestly, we didn't want to leave the boat at the end of the trip! We only wish we could have stayed longer. We would absolutely recommend La Famille / Nonauly and their wonderful crew. A huge thank you to everyone for making our Komodo trip so special — we had an unforgettable time! ❤️

Review Body: We spent a long time deciding where to book, heard a lot of good things about SeekSophie, and picked this boat because the dates fitted ours. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The cabin was exactly as described and shown in the photos, and the boat itself was modern and comfortable, with plenty of space to lie down and relax between the stops. The whole trip was very well organised. The itinerary was timed really well, we were never rushed, and there was always time to actually enjoy each place. The crew was great throughout. The guides explained everything and answered every question, and the photographer was excellent. He took his time with everyone and made sure each of us got nice pictures, and if you wanted more shots or something specific, that was no problem at all. The food was tasty and there was always plenty of it, and we were well looked after in general. The group also got along really well, which made the whole thing even better. All in all a great few days. We can recommend La Famille without hesitation.

Review Body: The trip with La Famille/Nonaully was perfect! The whole crew were so lovely and our guide Thomas did everything to make our time unforgettable. Everything they promise on the itinerary is absolutely true and even better, he really made sure that we would be one of the the first groups on Padar Island to get some good spots and photos. The rooms and the boat look exactly like on the photos and the food was absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend and come back again. Wish we would have had more time on the boat…the crew and the whole group was starting to feel like family :) Thank you!

Review Body: Amazing experience! We did the 3-day, 2-night cruise with La Famille, booked through Sea Sophie, and everything was incredible from start to finish. The crew was absolutely amazing, very friendly and attentive, and all the activities were perfectly organized. They were also very responsive and helpful when we had an issue with our initial booking dates and needed to change the organization. We truly loved the experience and highly recommend La Famille to anyone looking for an amazing cruise from Labuan Bajo. Thank you to the whole crew for making this trip unforgettable! 🙏

Review Body: I really enjoyed my La Famille Komodo National Trip experience! The crew were so nice, fun, and welcoming, and the food was great too. ❤️ I’m not a very good swimmer, so I really appreciated how the crew made sure I was always taken care of and watched over whenever we were in the water. It made me feel safe and comfortable enough to really enjoy the trip. Thank you so much to the whole crew for making the experience so fun and memorable. I had such a great time! 🥰

Review Body: Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in der privaten Kabine auf dem Upper Deck. Die Gruppe war super und auch der Guide und die weiteren Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Fotograf und das Essen waren ebenfalls wunderbar. Auf dem Boot haben mir persönlich mehr sitzmöglichkeiten sowie ein Sonnenschutz auf dem Deck gefehlt.

Review Body: The locations we went to were great but extremely overcrowded which took away from how special it was. The food was good but repetitive. The rooms were very small with no luggage storage for the 4 person dorm.

Review Body: Viajamos una familia de 5 personas, hicimos el crucero de 2 noches (3 días), y todo, absolutamente todo, fue espectacular. El barco muy bonito y cuidado. Teníamos dos camarotes, uno triple y otro doble sobre cubierta, con baño propio y con bonitas vistas. Los camarotes muy limpios, muy bien decorados, la cama muy grande y muy cómoda, con grandes almohadas (2 por persona). Descansamos fenomenal. Quiero destacar la comida espectacular, fue donde mejor comimos en los 15 días que pasamos en Indonesia. En el barco felicité al cocinero y ahora lo quiero volver a hacer, porque la comida era muy variada, y todo riquísimo. Jamás habría pensado comerme una sopa allí, por eso de los reparos por cuidar el estómago, pero nos dimos cuenta de la calidad de los platos y no nos quedamos sin probar ninguno. Era mi mayor miedo, la comida en el barco los 3 días, pero será uno de los muchos buenos recuerdos que me llevo del viaje. La tripulación encantadora, todos muy muy amables y siempre pendientes de nosotros. Los sitios a los que nos llevaron preciosos, vimos delfines (esto fue pura suerte, pero los vimos), manta rayas, tortugas, mini tiburones y una cantidad de peces de colores que no había visto en mi vida. Las inmersiones de snorkeling eran diarias. Le pedí al guía que fuera más despacio, y así lo hizo, porque en España me gusta ir sin prisa y disfrutar de lo que veo, allí era todo más rápido... Pero también comprendo que eramos muchas personas que vigilar y a veces había corrientes que nos desplazaban sin que pudiéramos hacer nada... Lo que tampoco olvidaré nunca será la puesta de sol del segundo día, en la zona chilout de la parte de arriba del barco. El horizonte espectacular, con el mar y las montañas a nuestro alrededor, relajados tomando una buena cerveza fría, después de un intenso día de aquí para allá... Y esa noche la tripulación organizó una pequeña fiesta, nos enseñaron sus bailes típicos y nosotros les enseñamos los nuestros... Hay un travolting en la tripulación que le encanta bailar y que animaba a todo el mundo... Majo como el solo!!!! En fin, para nosotros, este minicrucero ha sido lo mejor del viaje a Indonesia, y hemos conocido una zona a la que algún día nos gustaría volver para ver más despacio. Mi enhorabuena a La Familia por los días inolvidables que pasamos gracias a ese estupendo barco y tripulación!!! Por supuesto lo recomiendo 1.000.000 por cien. Creo que me he explicado!!! Hasta la próxima, Familia!!! 😍😍😍

Review Body: The most wonderful 3D2N trip on Refviero boat with Martin as our guide!! The boat was beautiful, with comfortable beds and good facilities. Food was AMAZING. A variety of indonesian cuisine served for breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon snacks, including seafood, chicken and plenty of vegies. Shoutout to chef Sandry! The activities were full on but worth it. The itinerary will depend on the guide, we snorkelled a lot on our first day, hiking on 2nd day and a bit of both on 3rd. The hikes require lots of trekking uphill but comes with spectacular views. If you are going during the mid-year high season (especially on a weekend open trip) be aware that there will be hundreds of other people doing the same itinerary as you, trekking trails will be extremely crowded. Komodo national park was great, we were fortunate enough to see around 5 komodo dragons despite it being the mating season. The rangers provided insightful informations. We snorkelled at many different spots which were all incredible. Unfortunately we didn't get to see any manta rays but honestly it was fine as the rest of the snorkelling was already so good with plenty of sea creatures and corals to see. The boat crew members made this trip a blast. They were well organised, professional and always friendly. Thank you so much to the Refviero boat crew & our guide Martin for taking care of us!! Tips: Bring appropriate shoes with maximum grip as the trails are gravelly. Bring earplugs in case your room is located next to the engine room (this saved our lives!) Bring a beach towel of some sort as they only provide one towel per person. Ensure your sunscreen is reef safe. We stayed in Labuan Bajo one night before and after the boat trip which was a good idea so you aren't rushing, with plenty of times to rest after 3 intense days. Sudamala Resort was perfect for us.

Review Body: I was on the Osiana Alo, 3D2N, April 24-26 and had the most amazing time! We had 9 destinations for the 3 days and it was the right balance between activities and downtime to relax on the deck. The cabin - the air conditioning was lovely and cool, the cabin was a good size and the bed was very comfortable and clean. Food - wow, absolutely delicious meals which were like works of art, so colourful, creative and very filling. I'm vegetarian and the cook always made a little side dish for me which was so generous and thoughtful, but not needed as there were always plenty of vegetarian dishes. The afternoon snack of fried bananas were so good as were the vibrant fruit "mocktails". Photographer - is onboard and takes numerous videos and photos with a go pro and camera which are made available to the passengers after the tour. The crew - Auz/Ozzie was the tour guide and a colourful character. He kept us informed of the activities, what we need, etc and kept everyone happy and excited. All the crew were professional , happy and friendly and I always felt safe and in capable hands. Everything ran like clockwork. On the last night we had a dance party and the crew put on a great show, we all danced and had a ball. This boat fits 14 passengers and we had 10 onboard which was nice as there was plenty of room. After seeing some of the nearby anchored bigger boats with lots of passengers I was glad I chose this boat. Tips - there's lots of swimming and snorkelling so bring sunscreen and maybe a rashie as it's easy for your back and shoulders to get sunburnt. Bring cash as there are local beers for sale on board. On Komodo Island, Pink beach and Kelor Island there's refreshments and souvenirs for sale. Also, when you're anchored some boys from the nearby villages paddle out in canoes and have some locally made souvenirs for sale.

Review Body: I loved the trip. The crew was amazing 🤩. Each of them did the best to make us happy. They were extremely service oriented.They planned the trip perfectly well so we will not meet all the crowds in all points. Incredibly good Snorkeling experience : I have had the most beautiful snorkeling experience (and I have done it several time in different countries). The reef in some of the stops was untouched . It was like watching a National Geographic Documentary of the reef. I will never forget the experience. We saw hundreds of beautiful fish, turtoise, and rays ♥️. There is a beach where you can see baby sharks. If you want to see them, stay on the shore, you do not need to swim into the deep water. Just wait on the shore and you will see them. They come and go :) just be a bit patient. Funny fact, on this beach there are also small fishes ( pink- transparent ones, innocent like ), they tend to bite (it does not hurt, is funny). I just be aware , they are not dangerous . While sailing we also saw baby dolphins 🐬. I have cried because it was beautiful. Food on board was good :) they put a lot of effort considering how small the space in the kitchen is. The team really did the best for us to see everything. Komodo Dragon: we have arrived early to the park. And yes, we saw at least 8-9 dragons. Wonderful, unique experience . I can recommend: 1) bring a hair dryer 2) a towel, there is a towel in your room but a second one is always helpful considering that you will be swimming and snorkeling a lot. Thank you Tommy and the photographer (I cannot remember his name, but he was extremely kind ). The photographer had the BEST attitude all time. He was so kind to take nice pictures and everyone. The crew deserves an applause ♥️ And if you can afford, a nice tip. They have donde such a great job.
