Review Body: This trip is a MUST BOOK. A 10/10. The itinerary is fantastic Do the extra day. The food was unbelievable. The snorkelling was awesome. The boat is in great condition and the crew clean constantly. And there is even a photographer on board that captures everything, underwater, hiking mountains at sunrise, and Komodo dragon pics all for free. I did a 4 bed dorm and it was comfortable. The crew are incredible. They work so hard to please. Especially our leader “Riw” Allow tip money for them because you will want to reward them. I hope the owners appreciate what a fabulous crew they have.

Review Body: Amazing experience on a really well run trip. The crew are really friendly and the food is delicious. Boat is very clean and activities are organised well so there is a lot to do and see as well as time to rest. Saw sharks, manta ray, Komodo dragons, eagles, turtles and many more.

Review Body: Overall, we had a very good experience with La Famille and would definitely recommend doing a multi-day boat trip around Komodo. The boat, room, itinerary, crew and food were all excellent. However, for us the main weakness was the guiding experience and the lack of personal attention and communication, which prevented the trip from feeling truly outstanding. Overall: around 7/10. The itinerary was very complete and well designed, the boat itself was excellent, and we especially loved our room. The crew was extremely kind, attentive and helpful, and the food was also one of the highlights of the trip: varied, plentiful and consistently very good. The main area we believe could be improved is the involvement of the guide. He was often quite absent and spent a significant amount of time on his phone, so at times we felt there was limited interaction or attention towards the guests. Even after several days, he had not really learned our names and was still asking me where I was from on the third day. For this type of trip, the human side matters enormously. A guide can make the difference between a good experience and an extraordinary one. Based on other multi-day boat tours we have done with different companies, we have experienced a much more personal level of attention, with the guide actively making sure guests were comfortable, enjoying themselves and getting the most out of each stop. That extra involvement was the main thing we missed here. Communication about the daily planning could also have been better. We completely understand that the itinerary needs to remain flexible because of weather, sea conditions and navigation times, but we were often given very little information about how long we would spend at each stop or what was coming next, which sometimes made preparing for activities unnecessarily chaotic. Finally, at the end of the trip, the guide asked every guest individually and in front of the group to give feedback. We found this uncomfortable, particularly for constructive criticism. When we mentioned that we would have appreciated clearer information about the planning, the feedback did not seem to be received particularly well. If feedback is requested, guests should feel comfortable sharing both positive and negative comments, ideally in a more private setting. Overall, it was a very good experience with many strong points, but the guiding and personal attention could be significantly improved.

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.

Review Body: I had a great experience on this Komodo National Park boat trip with La Famille. First off, the staff is absolutely incredible—truly the nicest people I’ve met in over a month of traveling Southeast Asia. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is comfortable, safe, and having a great time. The food is also a highlight. They feed you like royalty—you’re honestly still full from the last meal but end up eating anyway because it’s that good. I booked the dorm as a solo 31-year-old female traveler and ended up sharing with an 18-year-old guy from England and a German man in his 40s. I felt completely safe the entire time. The group overall was a really interesting mix of ages—from an 11-year-old girl to couples in their 50s—so it felt very inclusive and easy to connect with different people. The scenery throughout the trip is absolutely unreal—easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. That said, just know that many of the activities are pretty touristy. There are a lot of boats going to the same spots at the same time. The sunrise hike, for example, was beautiful but very crowded—I was honestly ready to head back to the boat for some peace right after the sun came up. One thing to note: the AC in the shared dorm wasn’t working very well during my trip, and I didn’t sleep great the second night because of it. Definitely something to be aware of if you’re booking the dorm. Overall though, I really loved this experience—the staff, the boat, and the scenery made it 100% worth it. I’d absolutely recommend it.

Review Body: Cette croisière avec La Famille est une expérience tout simplement extraordinaire ! Le Refviero est un splendide phinisi, à la fois élégant et confortable, avec ses lignes traditionnelles, ses espaces chaleureux en bois et ses coins détente offrant une vue imprenable sur la mer. Les chambres sont agréables. Nous avions réservé la Master Bedroom, la Superior et la Deluxe. Moi qui suis très sensible au sommeil, j’y ai dormi comme un bébé. Martin, véritable chef d’orchestre de l’aventure, est toujours souriant, dynamique, joyeux et prévenant. Se laisser guider par lui a été un vrai plaisir. Les spots visités étaient incroyables, et nous avons encore du mal à réaliser la chance que nous avons eue. À ses côtés, son ami Naufal, pétillant photographe de la croisière, nous a permis de repartir non seulement avec des souvenirs plein la tête, mais aussi avec de magnifiques photos de famille. Le cuisinier mérite aussi une mention spéciale : une cuisine de grande qualité, des plats superbement présentés… On a été hyper soignés, bichonnés, et on n’a manqué de rien (c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire) ! Nous étions 10 passagers accompagnés par 7 membres d’équipage. Leur bonne humeur constante, leur attention et leur souci de notre bien-être resteront longtemps dans nos cœurs. Je pense notamment à ce dernier soir, autour de la table, où nous avons tous dansé ensemble. Un moment de partage et de joie, dans un décor de rêve, que les enfants n’oublieront jamais. Plein de gratitude pour ce que nous venons de vivre. Merci !

Review Body: We spent 3 days and 2 nights exploring the breathtaking Komodo National Park aboard the Osiana Alo, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel incredibly welcome. Their hospitality, friendliness, and attention to detail were outstanding throughout the entire trip. They were always smiling, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had the best possible experience. The facilities on the boat were exactly what we needed: comfortable cabins, good air conditioning, hot showers, and plenty of space to relax on deck while enjoying the stunning scenery. The lounge nets at the front of the boat quickly became our favorite place to unwind between destinations. A special mention goes to the food onboard. Every meal was delicious, fresh, and surprisingly varied. We genuinely looked forward to every breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack. The quality of the food was far beyond what we expected on a liveaboard trip. Of course, the destinations themselves were spectacular, Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo dragons, manta rays, and countless stunning viewpoints—but what truly made this trip special was the crew. Their energy, professionalism, and warmth created an atmosphere that felt more like traveling with friends than being on a tour. If you're looking for an authentic, well-organized, and unforgettable Komodo adventure, I cannot recommend Osiana Alo enough. We would book this trip again in a heartbeat! 🌊🐉☀️🚤

Review Body: Had a great time on this mangrove tour! 😊 One thing I like it was that the guide came to pick me up, not just the driver. My guide was from the local village, so he knew the area really well. During the drive, he shared lots of interesting stories and explained many things about the places we passed along the way. Trying the local coffee and snacks was also a fun experience. I'm actually not a coffee drinker, but the guide told me that coffee is a big part of daily life here. They jokingly welcomed me as part of the family, so of course I had to try it — and surprisingly, I really liked it! ☕ I was secretly hoping to spot a crocodile during the mangrove tour, but no luck this time 😂. I guess I'll have to come back again! The mangrove tour itself was awesome. It was about a 20-minute boat ride each way through beautiful mangrove forests. It was fascinating to see so many different species of mangroves and learn about their role in the ecosystem. I also loved the simple lunch setup in a gazebo overlooking the mangroves. Nothing fancy, just peaceful and beautiful. Another highlight was visiting the village where craftsmen build traditional phinisi boats. It was amazing to see these huge wooden boats being built by hand and learn more about the process. Highly recommended if you're looking for something different from the usual Labuan Bajo itinerary. Just 1.5 hours away from Bajo, but packed with local culture, nature, and great stories! 🌿✨

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: Incredible organized open trip. Room was exactly as pictured, the pre-trip communication was smooth and clear, and our guide Wir spoke English very well and communicated clearly. But those are just the basics! The whole boat team really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure we had the best possible experience. They arranged the daily schedule so we had the fewest crowds at each of our stops, always provided us bottled water for our hiking and cold towels on our return, were always available for questions and requests in between our activities, and even participated in karaoke and dancing on our last night. The chef and sous-chef made the most delicious boat food for us with plenty of options for all diets. Our favorites included satay skewers, grilled snapper, Kaffir lime curry tuna, tempeh, garlic fried chicken, beef stew, fried calamari, tofu and tempeh curry, spiced shrimp, crab, and deep fried bananas with chocolate and parmesan cheese. Breakfast was pancakes with eggs and sausage and there was always fresh watermelon on the table. Besides the logistics, we really enjoyed the variety of activities on this trip: hiking, snorkeling, sunrise/sunset/star watching, relaxing on the beach. And having a photographer on board to capture it all on professional camera, GoPro, and drone was a real plus so we could focus on being present! If you're considering this boat trip, just book it! Highly recommend.

Review Body: The 4D3N trip offered an excellent mix of snorkelling, several hikes, and a memorable visit to see the Komodo dragons. Appropriate snorkel gear (mask, fins, snorkel) was provided—something not all tour groups seemed to have. We spotted turtles and manta rays (yay!), and water visibility was very good, though currents were often strong. The boat was spacious enough, with many comfy bean bags on the top deck. Only one toilet is shared between the two dorm rooms (8 guests), but this rarely caused issues for our group. The dorm rooms were compact but sufficient, and the beds were comfortable. Light sleepers should bring earplugs and an eye mask, as the generator (and sometimes engine if underway) are running overnight - but without it there would be no air conditioning. Meals were beautifully presented and included a mix of vegetarian options (tofu and tempeh) and meat-based dishes (chicken, fish, shrimp, and squid), along with rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruit. The breakfast pancakes were always a hit, and there appeared to be enough food for everyone. Drinking water is provided (plus tea and instant coffee) and beer can be purchased. The boat crew—especially our guide, Ozzy—were enthusiastic and kept us on schedule. The boat was also kept fairly clean throughout the trip. Overall, it was a great experience and worth the logistics of getting to Labuan Bajo.

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: Fantastic experience and some of the best days of my six month trip around Asia. We started our trip in Labuan Bajo and after a short drive we arrived at the first amazing beach. I have never seen such crystal clear water before and the crew photographer took some stunning pictures of everyone. We continued our ride into a beautiful sunset and watching hundreds of flying foxes leave their homes for the night was incredible. The second day was pretty packed and we got up at 4.30am to be on time for our sunrise hike. Watching the sun rise over the horizon from the top of the hill was a beautiful moment. One of the guests proposed to his girlfriend here and you couldn't choose a more picturesque spot. After this start to the day, it was all about swimming, snorkelling and, of course, meeting the Komodo dragon. In the evening we had a lovely boat party and had a great time. If you are looking for a great and unique experience, this is not to be missed. The crew were so cool and nice. They really made us feel welcome. My wife and I stayed in a dorm room and the beds were really comfortable. The food was lovely, tasty and we enjoyed our little family meals. There is a box with ice if you want to bring your own drinks on board as they only provide water, coffee and tea. So stock up on some beers before you go on board.

Review Body: Let's talk about our 3D2N adventure aboard a Deluxe Phinisi, the KLM Refviero with La Famille. We sailed around the Komodo National Parks (entrance fees not included), with back to back activities but they were not rushed & were well-thought throughout. The Phinisi has 4 decks, 5 guests cabins, each with their own head (toilet). Our 4-bed dorm at the bottom sleeps us comfortably. But you cannot expect power jet showers in these boats ok. And no sea-sickness at all! Our fav was the sun deck, views were magnificent at dusk and dawn. The other guests preferred the sun in all it's glory. They turned off the lights at night so we can enjoy the star gazing. It was magical. All meals & snacks (unlimited kopi/coke) were included. Needless to say, it exceeded my expectations. Kudos to the chefs in the galley! We looked forward to our meals (at least 4 dishes), with their food presentation & well-cooked seafood. Mantap! Of course the crew made all the difference, always with a smile & each time they will great me, Ibu, Ibu...They even entertained kids w an impromptu line fishing session (caught nothing unfortunately). There are many other agencies/boats offering these tour packages but I'm glad I've made my choice with @seeksophiesg. Worth every hard-earned dollar with unforgettable core-memories for us.

Review Body: Appreciate the efforts of a tireless crew helping guide us throughout the beautiful journey of this magnificent national park . The weather wasn’t the best , and many of our envisaged stops were cancelled as a result , but thankful that we ar least got to see the manta rays up close . We missed several main attractions of the park , namely padar , pink beach and the taka makasaar , which I have to admit was a great shame considering that everyone was charged a compulsory visit fee. The quality of the boat matched the photos , and grateful that the initial hiccup of a malfunctioning aircon could be fixed . Meals were communal , which meant that it’s by luck you ended up with people you enjoy being with or otherwise . We ourselves had a civil and polite group . It would have been nice if they included desserts as part of the Meal set but the food nevertheless, was delicious and marvelously served. On trips like these understanding each other and patience is key , and I think most part of the trip the relationship was terse yet respectful of one another . So all in might help if we were to book a trip with friends in a group . I’ll certainly do this trip again and la famille is well operated , and safety was always assured . Thank you for this

The boat itself was lovely, comfy beds in bright spacious rooms that were fitted with excellent aircon and modern clean bathrooms ! The outside areas to relax were modern with big squishy bean bags and sun loungers, there was always a seat for everyone too! The dinner served on the top deck was fantastic too !! We have been travelling for 7 months in asia and this is has been one of our favourite and most memorable trips ! The whole trip was well thoughout out, considering there are so many tours on offer we ever felt we were antwhere too crowded, but still visited all the key sites ! We cannot thank the team enough ! We felt like part of the family whilst on board !

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! ❤️
