03:30 pm: Go to Kampung Ujung beach, An Ideal place to go for Seafood.

I booked this tour through Seek Sophie because I had a fantastic experience with them in Bali last year, and once again they exceeded my expectations.

I was very lucky because I was the only person booked on the tour that day, so I had a private experience. My guide, Darso, was wonderful. He paid attention to every detail, shared lots of interesting information throughout the day, and we had some lovely conversations. It was great getting to know him, and his knowledge really added to the experience.

The caves were absolutely amazing, especially swimming inside Rangko Cave, which was a real highlight of the trip. I was also looked after by our driver, Yanto, who was just as friendly and kind. Both Darso and Yanto made the day so enjoyable, and they even kindly stopped at a local fruit market for me, which I really appreciated.

The day ended with a breathtaking sunset, making the experience even more special. I felt incredibly lucky because the following day was very cloudy, and it wouldn't have been possible to see the sunset. Everything came together perfectly, and it truly was an amazing day.

Thank you, Darso and Yanto, for such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Flores!

we enjoyed both Rangko and Mirror caves and i would recommend to do both as they are different experiences. Going to Rangko was special as you had to take a boat ride with nice views and clear water as you approach the cave. The cave is just one cavern where you have the option to swim/dip which i did with my son! we enjoyed it. Mirror cave involved a little bit of walk in the open and it was very hot at 1pm. the cave guide said that if you were inside the cave at 12pm, the sunlight will be directly on top of this opening casting nice light inside. we were there past 1pm but it was still ok. for the rangko cave, our guide said the afternoon light will make the cave brighter (tho i read somewhere to go before noon) so im not sure which is which anymore. in any case, it wasnt an issue when we there there before noon. bring anti mozzie spray as there are mozzies. 

as this was a private tour, there was flexibility wrt pick up time, drop off time and some spots we added that were nearby like a local cafe, the komodo statue in town. the town is small and nearby so you can also pop by a starbucks if you want to.

The last stop was Sylvia hill but my kids were tired to hike up so we did Amelia hill which was a shorter walk (really short!). these hills are next to each other that you can really do both if you want to except the sun was still up at that time (we finished the caves and lunch fast). Bajo was quite sunny/hot when we were there (im not complaining as i would rather that than rains in the komodo islands). Bonus was a pick up truck in Amelia hill selling durian which i tried but it wasnt as sweet as what i had before.

The guide was very friendly, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. i would recommend this tour.

We had a great experience on our SeekSophie tour with Pak Darso as our guide. Communication over WhatsApp in the lead-up to the tour was easy, with prompt replies and clear instructions provided throughout.

Pickup was timely and the day’s itinerary went exactly as planned. We had a smooth and comfortable ride to Rangko Village, where we took a fisherman’s boat to Rangko Cave and enjoyed a fun swim in the cave. After that, we visited Batu Cermin before heading to a nearby local restaurant for lunch (at our own request and expense).

We were dropped back at the hotel with enough time to rest and shower before being picked up again for the sunset tour at Sylvia Hill. Although the views weren’t the best due to cloudy weather, Pak Darso was a great conversationalist and made the experience enjoyable nonetheless.

Overall, a pleasant and well-organised tour — would recommend!

We had a lovely day private tour. Loved swimming in the Rangko cave and it was nice when it was only us in there. Lovely tourguide Darso was so kind and knowledgable. I would say this is more of a half day trip not a full day but this was perfect for us.

A fun day exploring caves with Agus. He was very knowledgeable and great fun. The caves are impressive and swimming in the Rangko cave was a highlight.

We have such a great trip with Komodo Fantastico Tour. Very helpful guide and super fun to be around. Also passionate about the local history and culture. Our driver made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip. We can’t thank them enough for making this trip special.

My wife and I had an incredible day with Robert from Komodo Fantastic Tour. He was warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the islands. You could tell he really knew his stuff—whether it was Komodo dragons, local history, or the best time to hit each spot, Robert had it covered.

He made the whole day feel effortless. Nothing was too much trouble—he adjusted the pace for us, helped with gear, and somehow always found the perfect angle for a photo. (Seriously, his photos were way better than mine. I’ve basically just been reposting his all week.)

We got to see all the major highlights and somehow never felt rushed or stuck in a tourist crowd. Just a really special, smooth, memorable day. Highly recommend booking with Robert if you want the trip to feel personal and stress-free.

My kids and I had so much fun jumping off the rocks by the waterfall. And, the pictures came out amazing with them jumping with the waterfall in the background.i have seen many waterfalls but this one was special due to the canyon that surrounds it. My kids and I also loved dressing in the traditional clothes and watching the whip dance at Melo village. The pictures were awesome and my kids loved being able to whip the shield and join in the dance. We had a great experience.just note that the clothes and dance are an additional cost.

Sandry and driver were fantastic! Enjoyed their warm hospitality and excellent photography skills!

I wanted to see Rangko Cave but was worried about finding and organising the ferry across. That's when I stumbled across Seek Sophie's Tour. A great way to see multiple sights without stress. 
 Our tour started by visiting Batu Cermin Cave. Once there we were met by a lovely local guide who took us through the greenery (with the occasional monkeys) to the Cave and explained all the fossils and history behind this area. He kindly gave us some helmets that came with torches. Once equipped you'll duck crawl through some right spots to see an ancient fossilized turtle, beautiful caves and what are the most humongous crickets I've ever seen! 
 After we headed to a small town to grab a boat across to see Rangko Cave. After walking across a beautiful little beach, we managed to arrive at the Cave before the crowds, so we got to take a few photos with just us in the Cave and explore it a little before the sun came into the cave. If you don't have a torch, you might think there are bats in the Cave, but it's actually just 50+ sparrow nests hidden in the back of the Cave. Nothing to be scared of!
 After that, we went back to our hotel for a midday break. The drivers then came to grab us before sunset and take us to Sylvia Hill to enjoy the sunset views. We sadly had a bit of a cloudy day, but the views were nice regardless!
 Overall a great way to see lots of sights without the hassle of having to find them or organise anything. We just got to sit back and relax while our tour guides took care of us!
 My one recommendation - if you have a waterproof Torch, bring it! The first Cave provides torches, but they're not very strong, and the second Cave doesn't have much light until midday, so the torch makes it easier to see the insight of the pool area. (We took our dive torch, and it helped a lot)
