Review Body: I booked the Komodo Island cruise with Sea Familia with my wife as our honeymoon trip, and we honestly had an amazing time. The boat itself was fantastic, with large & comfortable rooms (including air conditioners & private bathrooms with hot water), and the staff on board were lovely. The food was incredible, with 5 or more different items at each meal (meat, seafood, and vegetarian) plus various drinks. We had plenty of diving time, seeing manta rays, corals, fish and more. At each diving stop, our guide Oin would take lots of photos and videos with his GoPro which were shared after the trip. Plus he got some cool shots with a drone at some of the beaches. All of our stops and bookings were handled so that things ran smoothly as we entered the various ports and national parks. The Komodo Island trip itself was a great highlight, as there are plenty of dragons to see the moment you leave the boat. The only criticism we could say was that the walk at Komodo Island was quite short, as they seemed to have booked the shortest route. We did still see plenty of dragons, but knowing that we could have been there for a while longer and seen more wildlife was slightly disappointing. All the hikes were still fantastic, including the sunrise hike, which wasn't too difficult, and we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and have photos taken of us. Overall we'd definitely recommend booking this trip with the Sea Familia and its amazing crew!

Review Body: Wow! The view in Komodo is stunning, but traveling via a boat with Sea Familia was even better. :) The boat is so comfortable and the food was delicious. It's really nice being able to watch the sunrise and sunset everyday in different beautiful locations in Komodo National Park. The staff and guides were all fantastic and it felt like a very luxurious experience. The welcome drinks when we arrived and refreshing towels set the tone right for the rest of the lovely trip. We enjoyed the small group experience, and had a lot of fun moments because we were traveling together. You will visit all the must see spots and some lesser known spots too! If you want to visit Komodo National Park, skip the day tours and do a liveaboard 3d/2n or longer experience with Sea Familia, you'll have a much better experience! :)

Review Body: The Crew did all the best for feeling comfortable on the Boat. All the spots for snorkling, hiking or watching komodo dragons were stunning and 100% worth to travel to this trip. We had a group of 8 very different Charakters but the Guide Ori is very good in reading our different moods to make the Trip nice for everyone. The Small boat captain Kevin, who drove us to all spots was very friendly and brang everyone back to the Big boat, whenever you wanted. And also his karaoke skills made a good mood in the evening, while watching flying foxes. The Rest of the Team was also very friendly and nice to stay safe and comfortable.

Review Body: Can’t recommend sea familia enough!! Oin, our guide, was amazing, as were the whole crew. The boat is exactly as pictured, we stayed in the manta room, which was comfortable and spacious with beautiful views through the glass doors opening out onto the ocean. The food was outstanding at every meal and all of our activities were planned brilliantly. The snorkelling is amazing and we saw atleast 20 manta rays and a similar number of turtles amongst amazing coral and sea life. Some bits are unavoidably busy as the park attracts a lot of visitors but these guys do their best to help you avoid the biggest crowds.

Review Body: They fill the itinerary with fun activities and know how to pivot with the weather. The crew was really fun and made the trip easy. The food was great and the amount of time on the boat was just right. Our guide did mini photoshoots with us with the camera and the drone when we stopped at picturesque locations. I wasn’t expecting this and it’s not really our style, but it ended up being really great! The only thing I would note is that there isn’t much shade for hanging out outside. This made it kind of difficult to relax when it was really hot.

Review Body: This trip was awesome! The crew was so kind, everything was super well organized, the boat was really nice with a rooftop from where we could enjoy beautiful sunset every night with some delicious starters made by our chef. The food on the boat was incredible , everything cooked by the chef. The activities were super fun, from snorkeling to hiking for sunrise from seeing komodo dragons from very close. Also, I was afraid of being sea sick but actually the boat was super stable the waves were small and I was good the whole time!

Review Body: The trip and all the places we visited were amazing! In my opinion, highlights of the trip were some beach/snorkling trips and flying fox island. I know that we were lucky but we saw baby sharks, manta rays, all kinds of fish and komodo dragons. Crew was nice and helpful and the food was perfect (many options and super tasteful). Only downside was that the AC in our room (one of the turtle rooms) was not that powerful and the wifi was not working very well. However, everything else was so great that I will give this trip 5/5 🥳

Review Body: Our trip was amazing. Orin and the crew did everything to make our trip memorable. The food on board was delicious. The cabin was spacious and clean. The itinerary was good, however the sights were always very crowded.That is something to keep in mind when you book any of the boat tours. It is a good mix of activities and down time. Some activities felt a bit rushed but all in all it was amazing. You get to see so many beautiful places and relax on the boat. I think its^s definitely worth it.

Review Body: Nous avons passes 3 jours merveilleux sur le SEA FAMILIAL. Les excursions sont bien organisées et toujours encadrées. La nourriture était excellente et le personnel était aux petits soins. Les journées sont bien occupées, il y a très peu de temps morts (on a même pas eu le temps d’aller dans le jacuzzi). Mention spéciale à Oin, notre guide qui a été exceptionnel du début jusqu’à la fin. Grâce à lui, on a pu voir des tortues, des raies manta et des bébés requins!

Review Body: Had a great experience on the Sea Familia. The staff was warm, friendly and responsible to each and every need. The entire trip was breathtaking - Whether it was the snorkeling sessions or the beautiful sunrise on the Pedar island. The only miss was that we were not able to see mantas during snorkeling as it wasn't manta season, though the staff tried their best. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Review Body: Great experience! Staff was very friendly. Food was good. Amazing activities. The room was small but we had everything we needed; I think Sea Familia has one of the best boats out there. We went to a smaller island to find the komodo dragons, which was great (we found 5 dragons). I would recommend anyone to go on this trip with Sea Familia!
