Review Body: We are a family of four (two teens) visiting Komodo National Park per boat four days and four nights. We had found Marsi and his business via the internet and had read the very good reviews. The trip was easily booked per WhatsApp: Marsi offered two different boats and two different formats, that we discussed and adjusted to our liking. We choose four days and three nights and had asked if we could stay one extra night on the boat in the port (which we were allowed to). At the starting day, Marsi picked us up at the airport and we immediately knew we were in good hands: after trying on the snorkelling gear, we went to the boat. There was a very nice crew of four, staying aboard for the whole tour. These men deserve a mentioning of their own as they were extremely helpful, friendly and nice to our kids. Food was healthy and tasteful, too. On the first day, we went to turtle beach, manta point and snorkelling (especially the swimming with manta rays is something we will never ever forget - such majestic animals and so many of them visiting us over and over again). The teens enjoyed canoeing the bays. The next day, we watched the dragons, went to pink beach and climbed Padar island for a spectacular view on a white, a pink and a black sanded bay. On day three snorkelling again, incredible amounts of tropical fish - lion fish, clown fish, butterfly fish and many others - in all colours you can imagine and brilliant corals. And just when we thought we had seen it all: the fruit bats flying from the mangroves - amazing us again. On day four, we sighted dolphins feeding and went snorkelling in three different reefs again. All the time we were guided by the wonderful Marsi: knowledgeable, fun and a great friend to our youngest, exploring all the islands, bays and mangroves. Thank you Marsi: we had a truely fabulous tour!

Review Body: We have just come off a 2D/1N tour and all I can say was it was amazing. Fe our initial contact when we booked through a third party online, we found contact easy. Marsy met us at our hotel the night before we set sail and went through all the general info with us and made it clear, as it was just the four of us, we were able to adapt the your if we wanted to. Snorkelling gear was provided and we gave him shoe sizes and flippers were tried on before we set sail to make sure everything fit. On the first day we did 3 rounds of snorkelling and visited link beach with the chance to snorkel more and use the canoe if we so wished. We saw manta rays and turtle, Marsy told us he couldn't guarantee anything but we were lucky and saw plenty of both. He took amazing videos and photos with our GoPro as he has a lot of diving experience and could do better than we ever could. On the second day with visited Komodo, Padar and Rinca island. Had lively views on Padar (be warmed it is a lot of stairs) and saw plenty of dragons on the other islands. The crew were all lovely, food was great and plenty of it. We were well taken care of, felt safe at all times and Marsy explained everything so we knew exactly what was going on. Everything was included in the price except for tips (Rp50,000 for the Komodo and Rinca guides) and anything extra you want to give the crew. We would recommend this to anyone thinking of going to Labuan Bajo and will be talking about this holiday for years to come.

Review Body: I just came back from a 4 days trip around Flores Island with some friends. We found the agency on internet I contacted Marsy (the owner) by whatsapp and since the beginning I knew it was 100% trustable. We managed to organize the trip very easily before our arrival and he adapted the intinary to our needs and preferences. Marsy is an incredible host, he picked us all at the airport and made us discover this little piece of paradise in the best conditions. Very servible and attentive. We had a lot of fun together visiting the different spots, trekking around the island and playing cards with some beers after diner. I highly recommend this agency and I hope you can all enjoy the same experience as we did ! Thank you so much Marsy, you’re the best ! Best, Charlotte

Review Body: My brother & I have just spent an amazing 3 days(2 nights) on a Flores Fabulous Tour. Marsey our young guide was the best guide ever, not only was he a font of all knowledge, but an amazing chef, photographer and he had a beautiful heart! On our trip we snorkelled alongside turtles, manta rays, thousands of different tropical fish; we watched the fruit bats at Kalong leave the mangroves at sunset, which was an incredible sight; we walked alongside Komodo dragons on both Rinca & Komodo Islands; walked along Pink Beach; breakfasted alongside monkeys at sunrise; we walked up various hillsides to see incredible views; the food was fabulous too. All in all an absolutely fabulous trip!

Review Body: We had an amazing 4D3N overland tour with Vino and Emman. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of their knowledge, professionalism and wonderful personalities that made for such a fun and lovely tour. They showed us all the sights across Flores and went above and beyond to involve us in conversations with locals, teach us the language and to experience local foods and cultures. They were both always happy to help us with anything we needed along the way and always willing to answer any questions we had. We are so grateful and will remember this trip for a very very long time. Thank you so much Vino and Emman.

Review Body: We booked through internet and Marsy fast reply to our queries, he suggested us many different boats and finally we pay in advanced a little percentage of all the trip. Once we arrived to Flores they pick us up from the airport to the boat. He is so kind and his English is fantastic so the tour is much more enjoyable. The experience has been so good and the boat was comfortable with excellent local food. I totally recommend Flores Fabulous Tour to anyone, they know how to deal with friends, couples and families, moreover, they have a fantastic knowledge of the area which always helps.

Review Body: While planning our trip to Flores, I emailed Flores Fabulous tours and Marsy replied right away with different tours and prices. When we arrived he came to the hotel and went over many options. He is very polite and knowledgeable. I decided to take a private tour to Seraya Island and the fishing village nearby. The boat was very clean and comfortable. The captain and his assistant we friendly and helpful. We stopped at a private island near Seraya and the water was crystal clear. It was a beautiful day and i would highly recommend Flores Fabulous Tours.

Review Body: We had a very memorable tour, just a family of four on our own boat with a very knowledgeable crew and guide. We saw turtles and dragons, as well as some spectacular scenery. We also got quite sunburnt but that was really our own fault. Great value for money and we will always remember our trip.
