From an early morning hill climb to snorkeling in what feels like being inside a tropical aquarium. In between, beautiful beaches and the ancient Komodo dragon. Great sampling of the area.”

To get to the boat, we had to walk through a filthy depressing village. The tour guide should really come up with another alternative. The cave was amazing, the areas we were taken to for snorkeling were awesome.”

We came on this trip as a couple (two of us) and had the boat to ourselves. We had a private cabin w a King bed. The accomidations were somewhat "glamping" - dont expect a 5star hotel. The AC stopped working one night but it was cool outside so we openend the windows. Fantastic once in a lifetime experience”
