Review Body: This trip far exceeded our expectations which was a relief as I’ve never booked through this site before. The value far outweighed the cost! A few points that I think are helpful for future bookers: almost all meals are seafood so bring snacks if you’re not into that or if you’re allergic the staff will work with you but let them know in advance. There aren’t any sinks so you’ll have to brush your teeth in the shower, bringing a shower caddy is helpful if you don’t book the private room with private bathroom. Know you’re living on a boat - not a yacht so the adventure that comes with it is apart of the experience! Beds were comfortable and clean and the AC in the rooms is a game changer. Would definitely advise sea sick pills and diarrhea meds just in case. Bring a towel for the beaches and water activities (only 1 is provided for showering). Trip of a lifetime! Very caring staff, amazing views, delicious food. Even comes with kayaks and a camera/drone guy that got epic shots of us. Would highly recommend!

Review Body: We had a month in Indonesia and the 3 days on this trip was easily the highlight! We swam with a big bunch of rays twice and saw komodo dragons having a wee fight but also swam with a bunch of turtles, fish and even a shark! Our boat trip arrived to each spot before the many other boats which meant we got some quiet time at each spot before the crowds arrived which was awesome! The boat was amazing! From all the delicious meals to the clean, tidy rooms. Even the cheapest shared room was pretty nice and we always slept good. Our crew were all amazing! Very friendly and fun! The highlight of the crew were our photographers Naufal and Tomi. Both getting a tonne of amazing photos and videos both above and under water while also leading the way in all the karaoke and dancing. We've got so many memories from this trip that will be impossible to forget. Thankyou

Review Body: Absolutely loved the trip. I travelled alone and got lucky with the animals and the group. Met amazing people, and saw everything from eagles, Komodo’s mantas, turtles, sea snakes, lionfish, sharks and much more! Furthermore, the trip was well planned, the food was amazing, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. The boat was nothing fancy, but it has everything you need! It is however a wooden boat, and there was therefor cockroaches on board + the bathroom is small with a shared toilet shower solution. I would however look past that, because as stated I loved the trip. Would absolutely recommend it

Review Body: Fantastic experience aboard La Dyana. The crew were fantastic, even leading the way doing karaoke and dancing. The experiences were amazing, with the highlight being the swim with manta rays. The spots on the tour were quite busy which was the only downside. Food on the boat was good, could have been slightly better vegetarian options. The onboard photographer was constanting capturing moments and was more than happy to take request photos with his camera, go-pro and drone! Overall a wonderful few days.

Review Body: We were two girls traveling together. We had the best time with the boat tour (2D3N). The crew was super friendly! We did lots of snorkeling (saw so many turtles and cool fishes and corals!), hiking, Komodo dragons, pink beach, game nights, traditional Indonesian foods on board etc etc! Geniunly a highlight of our Indonesia trip. Tips: there’s a lot of swimming and snorkeling! Bring more swimwear and extra towels than you think. We brought 1 + 1 provided, but I still wish we would’ve had one more.

Review Body: The staff were incredible—friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about Indonesia and every destination we visited. The food was delicious and exceeded expectations every day. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. One tip: bring your own alcohol, just in case. Some boats offer it for sale, while others don’t, so it’s better to come prepared.

Review Body: Highlight of our Indonesian trip so far! The crew were awesome, Indonesian meals were delicious. This is such a beautiful part of the world! Just the right amount of activities to be an adventurous trip but also relaxing. One thing that I didn’t realise was there are local markets on most places you visit, bring extra cash if you want snacks/souvenirs along the way.

Review Body: The guide, Alan, was simply amazing. He knows and is proud of his land and took us to some truly incredible spots! Really wish to point out the experience and expertise of the staff, particularly him. The trip was very enjoyable and definitely worth it. Food was great and quality of the boat good and most of all the landscapes visited were amazing.

Review Body: WOW! This was AMAZING! We did the 2 nights 3 days with guides Tomi and Afri and the crew and we absolutely loved it. The schedule was perfect and we were able to change it however we liked. We snorkeled a lot and also saw the islands (and 3 komodo dragons!). Would 1000% recommend to do this on your trip to Indonesia.
