This was my second trip cruising the Komodo islands. The islands are spectacularly beautiful. The crew of the boat were nice and capable. Unfortunately the boat was far from being good value. For $750 dollars a night our boat had a cramped and dirty bedroom, a small combined toilet and shower room with a non-flushing toilet and a very weak shower with no hot water. There was no sink or tap water to clean your hands after being to the toilet. Their snorkeling equipment was old and falling apart. The worst part of the overall experience, which potentially could have been life threatening, was that despite being clearly told my wife has a shellfish allergy they served us a shrimp salad for dinner one evening!! We were so unhappy with this experience that we cut our trip short and asked the crew to take us back to port on the morning of our third day. I have rented boats and crew all over south east asia including Komodo and this was the worst experience and value I have had. If you are thinking of renting a boat from Bintang Komodo make sure you get the full details about the facilities before you give them $750 per night. Or be prepared to be ripped off!

Just got back to land today. Our wonderful guide planned our excursions to be more exclusive by avoiding the crowds in all locations except the sunrise hike on Padre Island which he could not control. The boat crew were very attentive to all of our needs and the food was very good. The captain of the boat was very good and we felt safe. The waters were calm. We got to see Komodo dragons on Rinca Island and Komodo Island. We also saw the manta rays and turtles and LOTS of fish. The accomodations are basic, but were just fine for the two night 3 day Private tour we did. The AC worked great in our cabin so sleeping was very comfortable.

Wonderful adventure trip with a dedicated team led by Robert. The boat travelled through beautiful areas, made a bunch of stops, and we relaxed completely. We had a great time seeing Komodo dragons, giant manta rays, deer, buffalo, reef sharks, turtles, splendid corals, and a plethora of fish. The trip is best enjoyed in if one is in good physical condition.

We had an incredible trip seeing everything we had hoped for. There was almost too many amazing things every day. Ryan - our guide, ensured we did the activities we most wanted to do. We were never rushed and he managed to avoid the crowds as much as possible. The food was great and exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and quantity. The boat was lovely and had character.

This experience has been very hard for us, they spoiled our honeymoon, we have paid money and we feel cheated The ship was very dirty, the food in poor condition we did not dare to eat for fear of getting sick. The staff did not give us privacy and they lied about the route and they lied to us saying that due to bad weather we could not do the agreed itinerary, when we saw other boats going normally.

we went on private 3d/2n and had an amazing time!!! one of the best snorkeling ever! the crew was fabulous, looked after us in every possible aspect. the tour guide - Van was awesome, very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodation and respectful the only disappointing thing was that for the amount of money the Komodo National Park and tour companies collect from tourist , there is hardly any nature (flora and fauna) preservation happening (at least you can see), rubbish everywhere even it seems like they are making a bit of cleaning around the main touristy parts at least. the sustainability and environmental consciousness is just not there!
