Review Body: I had a fantastic experience trip in Komodo National Park and felt important to leave
this review for everyone’s reference.
The trip for 2D1N Komodo Kayaking and this was my very first time joining a kayak
trip. Booking was really easy online only 5 minutes to confirm it. Komodo Kayaking
guidance and instruction were supportive and helpful throughout the trip, as I'm the
first timer for kayaking, you know la. Hahaha 😁 but so much fun. We were lucky with
the weather and the water was calm which made me feel more excited to paddle it.
We went to Bidadari Island - Rangko Cave - Kaaba Island - Rinca Island - Manta Point
& Sebayur Island. The experience out on the water was lovely. It was a wonderful trip.
This dragon year is going to work perfectly.
Thank you so much Komodo Kayaking!

Review Body: We had an awesome day out with Jho exploring the islands around Labuan Bajo. It
was a relaxed trip and gave us the opportunity to see and learn more about the area.
We went snorkeling and saw lots of fish and even a baby reef shark.
Jho has yummy food with him and took great care of us.
We highly recommend a trip with Komodo Kayaking!

Review Body: Amazing boat tour of the coral triangle and Komodo National Park. These guys are
the best. We saw thousands of fish, live coral, sea turtles, Komodo dragons…the list
goes on. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly. And the food on board the boat
was fantastic. The best I’ve had. Highly recommend!

Meet your host
Ricky and Paulus founded Komodo Kayaking in 2023, driven by their close connection to Flores and its community. With backgrounds in outdoor guiding and marine tourism, they saw a chance to offer a different way to experience Komodo — slowly and respectfully, through kayaking. They focus on training local people, creating jobs, and sharing skills that can last. Their team is entirely made up of local residents who have received proper training and certifications. Beyond business, they work with local schools and organizations to spread knowledge about safety and environmental care. Their approach keeps things simple, mindful of the sea and community, making sure visitors enjoy the area in a gentle, meaningful way.
