Review Body: Wonderful, magical day with East Cruise. The mood was warm on the boat, our guide/captain Teddy was nice and very committed. He guided us for the snorkelling and we could see two manta rays even if it was not yet the season for them in the area. The crew was helping us with snorkelling equipment and going on and down the boat. They were all being focused on our comfort and satisfaction. The sitting was comfortable and lunch box were tasty. We were able to go through the 6 stops planned. Padar Island is out of the world, the snorkelling spots our so beautiful. Maybe I would have appreciated staying a bit longer at Pink Beach and Taka Makassar and less time at Kanawa: but this only my preference. We had the chance to see Komodo dragons. We befriended with other tourists which made the ride even more enjoyable. We could extensively enjoy the wind on the benches in the exterior part of the boat: the crew was encouraging us to do so.

Review Body: From the early morning pickup to the transfer back to hotel, the process was seamless. Though we had a small issue initally as we did not hear from them even though we were a day away from the trip. During the trip, the enthusiastic and lively crew made it fun yet safe for us when we were out in the sea. We encountered an issue where the boat we were in had issues with the motor. The crew were calm and got us all onto land safely. We got an upgraded boat next! The crew were also passionate and was really looking to help us get the best value for our buck- bringing us to good spots to observe the corals and looking out for manta rays at Manta Point, of which we managed to spot one even though it was off season. They were also constantly ensuring that we were well and enjoying ourselves. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Review Body: Fabulous day! Not only did we see Komodo dragons and mantas I think the final stop was the best, in part due to the unexpected nature of it. Stunning coral and creatures the like of which I’ve not seen since I did my Padi open water 30 years ago on the Barrier Reef. The staff were amazing, food good and the boat was fantastic. Only 5 months old with 5 big engines, very fast / very fun. Overall great value for money and pre service, when trying to add my daughter whilst still in the UK was fast and efficient. I’d definitely recommend Seek Sophie 🤗

Review Body: Wow this was amazing!!! The pick up time was on point, and the boat "New hope 9" was comfortable. Rico was our tour guide and he did a great job with his crew. On the stops you have enough time to take pictures and also for enjoying the time there. Lunch was delicious. Thanks for seeing komodos, manta rays, turtles, pink beach and wonderful landscape.

Review Body: The trip was great. The guides were very good and told us more information about the islands and the animals who live there. We were lucky enough to see the komodo dragons and even more lucky we saw a bunch of manta rays.

Review Body: Very friendly staff! Would recommend the trip, its quite expensive, but worth the money. What a views :). Also saw some Commododragons. Tip; book directly via EastCruise and not via Seeksophie, saves you 200k for 2 pax :).

Review Body: The tour was good value for money as you get to visit the most scenic spots in Labuan Bajo in one day. The tour guide was very helpful and took pics for me with his go-pro when we were snorkelling. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is the operator didn't offer life jackets when we went snorkelling (they did have them onboard). It would have been great if they offered upfront for the ease of mind as the current in the ocean could get very strong.

Review Body: Cheers to the local guides and tour for still being able to sail and to keep us safe despite the tricky weather and risks from cancellation from the Port Master. Staff are very friendly, Speedboats are new and nice. Just that pretty sad we missed a few highlights (Padar island), but in the end the tour gave partial refund unexpectedly - so thanks for the good gesture...!
