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 crew was very nice and went above and beyond for us throughout the trip. When we visited, there were some restrictions from the harbour master on visiting certain places in the national park due to bad weather, but despite this, our captain and guide managed to plan the trip in a way that allowed us to see all the highlights, which was really appreciated! And every meal we had on the boat was amazing, applause to the chef!
Regarding the Invictus boat itself, it is well maintained. However, we would recommend adding more shade on the decks, as the only shaded area had semi-transparent fabric, and resolving the issue with the strong fuel smell, which was particularly unpleasant in the bathrooms of the Deluxe cabins on the second floor.

Review Body: Wow, what an incredible experience! The Invictus Liveaboard trip around the Komodo Islands was beyond anything I imagined. The schedule was packed with activities, yet everything flowed seamlessly, thanks to the super organized crew.
We got to see a bit of everything, making it the perfect way to explore the Komodo Islands. The team was fantastic, always going the extra mile for everyone. Their helpfulness and dedication truly stood out. The food was so delicious, every time! My sister is vegan, and they made sure she had delicious options.
This trip was life-changing, and I’ll remember it forever. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate—just book it! I can’t recommend it enough.
Thank you thank you thank you !!

Review Body: Phenomenal trip - the crew went above and beyond with everything for us - big shout out to Franseco and Alan who were so friendly, kind and attentive.
The food was fantastic too (some of the best we'd had in Indonesia so far!) and trips were very well planned and timely - they've done this so many times so know all the best spots to seen giant manta ray, turtles, bats, and baby sharks, as well as taking us to busy places (pink beach and places to spot komodo dragons) at times when there weren't as many other tourists.
I couldn't recommend this trip enough - the other group members on board were also super lovely and friendly.
I think 2N3D was a perfect amount of time to see all the hot spots, too.

Review Body: Our 3d2n Komodo tour with LaFamille aboard the Invictus Voyage was an absolute DREAM! We had high expectations beforehand and they were all exceeded. The boat is gorgeous with plenty of space to lounge, the food was among the best we had in all of Indonesia, and the crew made us feel very safe and welcome. Our guide (Tommy) made sure we were in all places ahead of the crowds and spoke great English. The drone & GoPro footage and all the photos Zac took were incredible and such a nice memory. Our trip couldn’t have been any better & we would definitely recommend this trip with LaFamille!

Review Body: The Komodo boat trip was amazing! What made it amazing was not only the view, the boat, the snorkeling and all the activities, but really the workers on the boat. They were part of the highlight. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and at some point it really felt like a familiar. Our tour guide was really helpful, and even made some changes with the order of the itinerary so we could avoid the crowds. He could explain a lot about the tour and the thing we were going to see. He also took very good pictures, and brought a go pro! We highly recommend booking with La Familia!

Review Body: We had a great time on the 3D2N trip aboard Invictus. The tour guide Alan, along with the rest of the crew, made the experience very enjoyable. We had 15 passengers (guests) in total and did not feel overcrowded (except maybe during meals, but some people would sometimes take their plate outside). The ship is comfortable (although we did stay in the master cabin - it was very spacious). We got to see Komodo Dragons, Manta Rays, black tip sharks, and lots of turtles! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys adventure, wild life, or the ocean.

Review Body: Highlight of our Indonesian trip. 2 nights with a very kind crew and wonderfull other guests. It’s strange how good the vibe was when couple of strangers from around the world are put together and have the best time ever.
We saw beautifull nature, snorkell in beautifull water, saw baby sharks and turtules and ate amazing fresh food.
Big shout out to Deddy our tour guide who was skilled but also very kind and funny. A beautifull soul like the rest of the team on the boat.
Thank you all for the amazing time!!!!!

Review Body: Staff was very helpful and friendly, and always so enthusiastic and energetic which brought a very nice vibe to the group experience overall on the boat. Food was good as well and activities were planned well throughout the day with some relaxing time in between as well. Our guide Amir also took a lot of photos and videos that will be shared after which was a wonderful addition to look back on a great experience.
Cabin we had with private bathroom was also very comfortable. I would definitely recommend!

Wiro the guide has been very professional and fun. I have say thanks to him if I saw the shark for my first time.
Like the photographer and the all crew.
Komodo is an amazing place, I will keep in my memory not only the nature and the locations but the good time and moment spent with Wiro and all the crew.
They have a good energy made the trip more special and fun.
I would like to say thanks again to them

Review Body: Really fun trip. Great to see all the main spots in the national park, but over 2.5 days so not so rushed. Crew were very attentive and kind, helped us to see manta rays and turtles while snorkelling and of course the dragons on Rinca island.
The boat was much nicer than expected with spacious cabins, good air con and comfy beds. Communal spaces really nice, boat not at all cramped. Food was tasty and plentiful. Given the price point we thought this was a really good deal.

Review Body: It just kept getting better! A highlight of our trip, everything was amazing... the wildlife we saw, the incredible food, the friendly staff, and overall great vibes, which really made us all feel like a family by the end. It was well paced, making the most of our boat trip with lots of activities (and good timing so we weren't in places when they were overcrowded), but also enough time to rest and recharge. I would definitely recommend!

Review Body: Although the weather didn’t allow us to follow the itinerary as planned and we unfortunately missed Padar Island, the crew did an excellent job of adjusting the trip. They still managed to show us some of the most beautiful spots around the Komodo Islands, all while keeping our safety as the top priority. We truly appreciated their professionalism and flexibility.
P.S. Food was delicious 😋

Review Body: We had an amazing time on our trip. Everything was well-organized, a great balance between activities and time in between them to relax. We saw beautiful views, unforgettable coral reefs, and so many sights that would not be possible to see otherwise. Genuinely the highlight of our 20-day trip in Indonesia, absolutely worth it.

We are Diana and Yunan, husband and wife team - 2 former corporate workers and travelers. One day, we had the opportunity to visit Labuan Bajo and fell in love with the landscape, the nature, the experience of living on board, the city and the people. We kept coming back to Labuan Bajo with many friends before we finally bought our boats, resigned from our jobs, and move for good to Labuan Bajo. We hope to see you here soon!
