Review Body: Cruise with Hello Flores I was doing an internship in Indonesia and my parents asked me to look for a boat to explore Komodo and Flores for mid of May. We went for the boat Mutiara Laut which is a magnificent wooden boat. The cabins, service and food were absolutely amazing. We booked the boat for 6 nights from Labuan Bajo to Maumere and it seems way to short. The most amazing things we had was to see Charles arrived from nowhere on a small speed boat to offer us some foie gras and french wine for Lunch. And best of all was that he also brought a massage person from Bali for the rest of the cruise as a Hello Flores experience. What a great idea. My parents loved this attention ! We are definitely recommanding Hello Flores for their infinite attention to detail and true customer experience. Thank you so much !

Review Body: Diving with Stuart!!! My girlfriend and I did a trip organized by Hello Flores last month on board Mantra and it was absolutely amazing. From the first email we sent Charles the process was so easy and customized. He always answered promptly and with great insight on what we should do. Once on the boat it didn't disappoint , as advertised by Charles the boat was super confortable and the crew took great care of us. Shout out to Gusti, the cook, that even on board a boat was making us amazing food everyday. Thank you to Stuart as well that showed us some amazing stuff underwater. I definitely recommend booking with Hello and diving with Mantra.

Review Body: Magnifique Sail Experience Hello Flores team pick us up right at the airport (even our flight was delayed). Then straight to the Harbour which not that far from Komodo Airport, then one of the crew from the boat pick us up at the harbour (lately we know that he is the Cruise Director) and welcoming our group at the boat with the very nice team. Whole our journey was Amazing even with the rain sometime (we sail in December 2018). Hello Flores team was offered to take a land tour to Maumere & Wae Rebo, i would love to but unfortunately we should catch our flight. But sure my trip with friends was perfect, thank you Hello Flores Team.

Review Body: Amazing trip My husband and I experienced one of the best adventures we ever had thanks to Hello Flores. It was more than just a fun trip for the both of us. Flores and cruising in the Komodo National Park are easily the best memories we have of Indonesia. After experiencing the crowd of Bali, going on this little excursion of 3 days-2 nights was just what we needed. So happy we decided to go on this cruise. My dream was to swim with the giant Mantas and it happened!!!! Snorkeling there is a pure beauty! We loved our sunrise trek and our time chilling aboard, sailing in this paradise is an unforgettable moment!

Review Body: 12 thumbs up for Hello Flores and MS Royal Fortuna Our family of 4 plus 2 friends recently sailed around Komodo National Park on the Royal Fortuna, which was arranged through Hello Flores. After considering a number of different options we decided to book through Hello Flores and now know it was a great choice. The staff at Hello Flores was always quick to reply and always had correct and valuable information. The booking process was seamless. Their recommendation of the MS Royal Fortuna as a vessel could not have fit our group better. The trip itself was a vacation of a lifetime. Thank-you Hello Flores!

Review Body: An unforgettable trip !! My best friend and I went on a 3 days cruise in the Komodo National Park, during our 2 weeks holiday in Bali and we wished we could have stayed in Flores much longer!!! I loved everything about the cruise and the activities (especially the snorkeling with Mantas & the trek with Komodo Dragons) but our best memory is the sunrise trekking in Gili Lawa Darat, the view from the top was breathtaking! The food on board was just fantastic and the crew was very friendly. I really recommend Hello Flores to organize this magical adventure! I will come back with my family for sure!

Review Body: Fabulous friends and family holiday A group of 12 of us did an 8 night sail with Hello Flores. Up there as one of the best holidays ever. With a large group to co-ordinate Charles from Hello Flores was patient, responsive and honest as he handled numerous enquiries as we prepared to leave. He was the reason we booked, going out of his way to find a suitable boat for us. On the ground (or sea), I couldn't speak higher of the captain and crew and our wonderful host Jeffrey, and our chef Bastion. My teenage daughters were never bored (result), and the sea life and scenery were just beautiful.

Review Body: Amazing cruise in paradise We did the cruise with Hello Flores in early December. My friends and I loved the experience aboard, very nice and dedicated crew! The food was great by the way, 2 of us were vegan and the chef prepared special meals for us during these 3 days, thank you once again!!! The trip is unique, we had the chance to swim with Mantas and see the Dragons on Komodo island. But the best for all of us was the sunrise trek and the breathtaking view we had on the top! I really recommend Hello Flores as they understood all our needs and made our adventure unique!

Review Body: Everything was perfect My husband and I had the best holiday thanks to Hello Flores and the team at Mantra. Eve from Hello Flores accommodated to our numerous enquiries promptly and was very helpful in helping us with our planning. Aboard the Mantra, the staffs and the boat Director Baptiste were all very friendly and professional. The team customized our itinerary and we had nothing but appetizing meals while onboard. We felt truly spoilt and our 5 days liveaboard felt like they were too short! Couldn't have asked for a better holiday.

Review Body: Fabulous Flores and Komodo A group of 12 friends have had a brilliant 8 days on board the Adishree. Hello Flores coordinated the trip through Komodo Escape and answered all of our endless questions with speed and efficiency. The crew, the food, the snorkeling, the beaches/sandbanks ….. everything was superb. We had the most fabulous experience, I would rate this as one of the best holidays ever (and I have been on a few!!) .... and would do again. Thankyou Hello Flores

Review Body: Thanks Hello Flores I’m not sure where to begin. We had high expectations for the trip. And the Hello Flores team, delivered our expectations and more. Although this year had barely started, we’re sure that it was one of the best trips we had taken in 2019! We went to Labuan Bajo and the surrounding area. It’s difficult to point out which part of our trip we love most. We enjoyed every moment. Hello Flores made this a very pleasant experience. Thanks!!!!

Review Body: Trip to Flores. Flores and the surrounding islands were an amazing part of our travel in Indonesia. We had especially wanted to see the beautiful manta rays. Our diving instructors were very professional as well. The same could be said for each and everyone of the staff who boarded with us. Thanks for the great experience.
