Thank you once again for choosing Bintang Komodo Tours. Best regards, Suzana Bintang Komodo ToursDay Trip to Komodo IslandThere were many excellent things about this tour The crew- they are absolutely brilliant. Very knowledgeable, care about your trip, care about your enjoyment and safety during the trip. The itinerary- the day covers a lot of ground and you get to see and enjoy a lot of really cool experiences. Lunch- lunch was tasty and dietary requirements are catered for. Negatives The rangers in Komodo National Park were knowledgable, and we did come across a couple of dragons which was awesome. We were able to get photos with one from a safe distance where the animal was not touched or any of the visitors went anywhere near them and there was always a good distance. However, the dragon was a little chill and fell asleep- not a problem, it’s hot, it’s a dragon and can do whatever it wants! But the wardens didn’t like it and used their sticks to poke the dragon to wake up. No. No. No. no. No. No. Absolutely lost me from that point. It was absolutely unnecessary. Whilst I appreciate that this is a third party to the tour itself- it is still a part of the tour and I didn’t like the fact that I was contributing to these people who claim to care for these magnificent animals, but also care more for the tourist pictures. I get it’s a business, but I’m not down for that- especially when everyone could see that it had just walked over and had stopped here for a nap. The snorkelling was good- lots of fish and colourful coral, however there was an expectation of being a strong swimmer, and you defo got left behind if you weren’t. We did see turtles and manta ray which was very traveler found this review helpfulIn general, I liked the...In general, I liked the tour and I definitely recommend it to everybody, however multiple things can be and should be improved. Most importantly, at the Komodo island there were three hiking options 30min, 1 hour and 2 hours. Not surprisingly, everyone wanted to go for a 2-hour trail, however, for unknown reason we were walking all together for only 45min and the rest hours at the island we spent at the souvenir shop and waiting for the lunch. To my mind, it is strange and unreasonable. Everyone should be given a freedom to choose one of the tracks for themselves and than people can meet at the boat at the designated from Host, May 2023Dear Marat_P, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your one-day Komodo trip with Bintang Komodo Tours on Viator. We appreciate your overall recommendation and value your suggestions for improvement. We apologize for any confusion or disappointment caused by the hiking experience on Komodo Island. Our intention is to provide our guests with choices and flexibility when it comes to exploring the island. We understand that the 2-hour trail is particularly popular, and it seems there was a miscommunication or a deviation from the planned itinerary on that day. Your suggestion to allow guests to choose their preferred hiking trail and then meet at the designated time at the boat is a valid one. We appreciate your input, and we will review our processes to ensure a smoother and more organized hiking experience that aligns with our guests' preferences. Furthermore, we apologize for the extended time spent at the souvenir shop and waiting for lunch. We strive to strike a balance between exploring the attractions and providing necessary breaks and meals. Your feedback highlights an area where we can improve the time management during the tour, ensuring that our guests have ample time for exploration while maintaining a comfortable schedule. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and recommendation. Your input helps us identify areas for improvement and provide a better experience for our guests. If there's anything else you would like to share or any further suggestions you have, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Best regards, Suzana Bintang Komodo ToursAmazing tour! We were one of the first boats out of the harbor so got to experience Padar and Pink Beach without the usual crowds. We stayed for a few hours at Komodo island to see the dragons and the snorkeling was traveler found this review helpfulFirst off my biggest thing is finding guides who care about the excursion they’re showing you and THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME! They all have great personalities, very friendly and super helpful! You get picked up and dropped off from your hotel as well by a prescheduled driver so you don’t have to figure that out on your own. Our hotel was up on Eden Beach area in Labuan Bajo and they were very accommodating even was there early before our pick up time too! Our guide even took our most favorite pictures. These guys know angles for sure! Hahaha But for the tour part of it I was personally blown away by Komodo Island specifically! We saw 10 Dragons!! The guide told us we were very lucky as most people don’t get to see that many on the medium trail we did! He was also super informative about the park as well! This part of the trip made my whole year I think! Snorkeling is a MUST do! The guys provide all the equipment including life jackets if you want onethe ocean can be kind of choppy or if you don’t, you can dive all the way down to hangout with the Manta Rays and the Sea Turtles! Don’t forget to pack your hiking shoes! You’ll be walking a lot but having a lot of fun no doubt! This is a day we will never forget thank you all so much!Response from Host, May 2023Dear Ashley, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review of your one day Komodo trip with Bintang Komodo Tours on Viator. We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience with our guides who showed you not only a good time but also care about your excursion. We are glad that you found our team accommodating and helpful, and we appreciate your compliments on their personalities and knowledge of the park. It's great to know that you enjoyed the snorkeling, hiking, and the opportunity to see the Komodo Dragons up close. Thank you for recommending us and we hope to see you again on another adventure in the future!Overall an excellent day and well organised. The boat feels quite safe to travel on. Great views from the hike on the first island. At Komodo island we saw a giant Komodo up close and several smaller ones. A few different snorkelling sites which were spectacular with a massive amount of coral and fish. Also saw probably a hundred manta rays swimming right up close to us. Got very lucky with the weather. Overall would highly recommend!Response from Host, May 2023Thank you for sharing your experience with us! It sounds like you had an incredible time on the tour. It's great to hear that the boat felt safe and that you enjoyed the views from the hike on the Padar island. Seeing a giant Komodo up close and several smaller ones must have been an amazing experience. The snorkeling sites with a massive amount of coral and fish sound like they were breathtaking. And seeing so many manta rays swimming up close must have been unforgettable! It's wonderful to hear that you would highly recommend this tour. Thank you for your review!Negatives first confusing communication as original message gave time for pick up but lay the night before got conflicting info to meet 15 mins earlier. However the actual pick up was closer to the original?? At the harbor, sorting into the different boats was a little confusing as well, but they have a system I just didn’t understand it. On Komodo Island they had us stand around for a long time as there were no dragons near and a ranger went to “chase” one in our direction. It did prove successful and we saw it in its natural habitat walking along, so I guess worth it for that. When we got back to the beach there was one lying in the sun we saw up close. The extra time waiting also put us behind. Those negatives were the difference between the 4-5 stars. Positives everyone was so polite and crew were very helpful in many ways helping all the passengers have a lovely time. Padar Island and the hike was so beautiful and a highlight of the trip. It was super hot so be prepared! Pink beach is unique but not the place for snorkeling. Just enjoy a walk along the pink sands and enjoy the shade and beauty. Seeing the manta rays was awesome and I could have stayed a lot longer but we were behind schedule. Snorkeling along the sandbar was another highlight as it was amazing! Returning back to the hotel was smooth. We met some great people on the tour and enjoyed ourselves so much!!!Response from Host, May 2023Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the pick-up time and boat arrangements, but we're glad to hear that the crew was helpful and polite in making sure everyone had a great time. It's great to hear that the hike on Padar Island was a highlight for you and that you enjoyed the unique experience of visiting Pink Beach. Swimming with the manta rays sounds like an incredible experience as well. We hope you have many more wonderful adventures in the perfect! Komodo dragons, turtles, manta rays, amazing views... I really recommend this trip. Perfect organization of Bintang Komodo TourResponse from Host, May 2023Thank you for your review!

Great, helpful guides. Well organized. Last stop was to “chill”—could have skipped this stop and snorkeled at a better organized, crammed schedule, but you may see tour was very disorganized and tried to cram too much into a day. The 600am pick up was late. When we arrived at the departure site no coffee, beverage, or food of any kind was provided. The boat was comfortable and in good condition but lacked full of people. The visit to Padar Island was perfect for time and Instagramable views. The Pink Beach seemed like filler but at least we could buy fried noodles and coffee. The visit to Komodo Island was great in that we saw several Komodo dragons, but we were not allowed any options before arriving we were told we. Oils do one of two hikes as long as we were back in time for the departure. The next stop for snorkeling was 30 min and too short to be of value. The snorkeling at Manta Point was fine but also short it would have been better to go straight from Komodo Island to Manta Point and have more time there the final stop was long enough to relax and have a drink. When we returned to the departure point it was chaotic. No vehicles waited for us and it took more than 30 minutes to get the included transport back to the hotel. When I mentioned to my hotel proprietor the experience he called the tour company that said that since I used a third party Viator to purchase the tour I got less service than if I had paid directly. That excuse did not appear to be true given that others at my hotel did book directly and were treated the same. If I had it to do again I would book a private tour to Padar Island and Komodo Island with another company. If I were Viator I would question my relationship with an operator that gave my clients sub par service because my booking oortal was used. This tour gets three stars because I saw a lot of Komodo dragons. That is the only reason. If, as we were told when we set off, we might jot and hadn’t seen dragons, I’d give this 2 stars. Either way, I’d recommend using someone Best Day I’ve had in BaliEddy the main guide was fantastic, the whole crew were very polite and helpful. Lunch was amazing! The boat very clean and comfortable. We were lucky enough to see plenty of Komodo Dragons and 2x epic manta rays! Only thing I’d suggest is taking a towel and spare clothes, we got bell sweaty on the hike so we were a bit gross traveler found this review helpfulTrip an sich war schön. Allerdings wurde der Zeitplan von ein paar Mitreisenden total gesprengt, somit musste der Ablauf umgestellt werden. Komodo wurde erst mittags angefahren dadurch konnten wir nur einen schlafenden Waran sehen. Das war sehr schade. Der Guide hat sich sehr bemüht und die Crew war freundlich. Das Boot war klasse, die Sitze bequem. Die Verpflegung war gut, leider war in meinem Mittagessen ein langes schwarzes Haar. Die Crew hat wirklich versucht die Gruppe zusammen zu halten, aber die Damen Mum Traveler, denen es nur um Fotos ging waren sehr egoistisch und wollten nur ihr 6 Outfits fotografiert haben in unzähligen Posen und Variationen. Es wäre besser, englischsprachige Touristen extra in eine Gruppe zu packen Unterweisungen müssen nicht immer auf zwei sprachen erfolgen um den Erwartungen besser nach zukommen. Die einen wollen wohl nur Fotos von sich, die anderen was erleben. Die angefahrenen Spots waren klasse und wie gesagt diese tolle Crew mit dem gepflegten Boot haben es wirklich gut traveler found this review helpfulQuestions? Product code 200061P11 Labuan Bajo is a small town nestled in western part of Flores, Indonesia. It used to be a fishing village but now it’s a thriving hub for Indonesian tourism. Labuan Bajo is just a lazy, laid-back town by the beach, however, it is the launching point for big adventures and exciting experiences for travelers. If you are wondering what to do in Labuan Bajo, then fret not as there are plenty of things to do in Labuan Bajo for your perfect Flores itinerary. My trip to Labuan Bajo Indonesia last month was simply incredible. It was part of the “Trip of Wonders” organized by Ministry of Tourism, Indonesia along with 35 other bloggers and influencers. With so much to do, see and experience, this place left me amazed and wanting more. I created this list from my own experiences and the places I was lucky enough to see in my short 3 days there. Pretty sure there are many more islands, beaches and interesting places to visit in Labuan Bajo- which means, I need to come back soon to explore more! Experiencing local culture at Melo Village Kampung Melo was our first stop in Labuan Bajo. After a traditional warm welcome by the Manggarai, we witnessed an array of cultural performances, relished local Manggarai cuisine and experienced their way of life. Warm welcome by The Manggarai people The villagers make the complicated process of Ikat weaving look like child’s play. Their traditional bamboo pole game, Caci dance and various other forms of dancing were quite enjoyable and make for the perfect half day tour. The Caci dance is perhaps the most integral part of their culture. It is a whip fight where male members of the Manggarai hold a whip and shield in either hands to demonstrate the philosophical values and beliefs of their tribe. The entire village is involved and comes to life with the sound of chants, songs and bells. Men preparing for the Caci dance ritual Visiting Komodo National park Komodo national park was the most sought after stop in the itinerary for me and luckily, it did not disappoint. The park is home to over 4000 Komodo monitor lizards and hence tops the list of Labuan Bajo things to do, hands down. Time to meet the dragons Komodo island is the only place in the world where you can see these dragons and hence makes for one of the most popular day trips from Labuan Bajo…And let me tell you, these lizards are massive. So, you WILL be amazed! The mighty Komodo dragons I was especially respectful of these majestic creatures when I heard man-eating encounters of Komodo dragons in the park. There had been 2 incidents where humans were prey to these dominant predators who are fast and agile. They ambush their prey using their natural camouflage and watch their prey with patience before pouncing with their strong claws in teeth. It is no wonder that sometimes, they can even take down large animals like water buffaloes. With Shane aka Travel Camel as we hear Komodo stories of horror from the ranger If you don’t believe me, watch this video of these powerful Komodo dragons hunting their prey – Yes, even buffaloes, goats, deer, cobra and pigs! Chilling at the Pink beach Pink beach, locally known as Pantai Merahis gets it’s name from Foraminifera which look like tiny pink corals and are spread all around the beach giving it a pink tinch, especially on the shoreline. This beach forms part of most picture post cards and is one of the best Labuan Bajo attractions for tourists from across the globe. Pink beach with the tinted pink shoreline It is the perfect place for a dip, sun bathing, hiking, sunset watching or snorkeling. A perfect spot to enjoy the view Wait you can even pose at the pink beach. Look at these wonderful blue layers of water in the ocean, making for an excellent backdrop. Posing at the pink beach Cruising through Kalong Island As our first day at Labuan came to and end, we decided to enjoy the melting sun on our speed boat. I was surprised to see millions of bats flying foxes hovering around as the sun set and realized we were just next to the famous “Bat island”. This was quite an experience with the bats flying around as the sun sets in the horizon and the waves cradle our boat. Another one of the amazing Labuan Bajo day trips which can be easily combined with the Pink beach and other nearby attractions of this exotic island. Bats hovering over the mangroves 24 hours of sailing experience With so many Labuan Bajo activities to choose from and enjoy, this was by far the highlight of my Indonesian escapade. If you happen to be in Labuan Bajo, don’t miss this chance to get live on board a lovely sail boat and cruise through the islands. You will be surrounded by epic beauty and enjoy many adventures/ activities in Labuan Bajo whilst at it. One of the 3 boats we rented for 24 hours! Here are some of the things we did while onboard “Phinisi Felicia” – Snorkeling in Kanawa island Okay so I didn’t find nemo this time but many of these lovely blue star fish Labuan Bajo with its clear blue green waters and mesmerizing scenic views, offers a vivid underwater life as well. I was amazed at the variety of coral reefs and fish I saw in these stunning waters. For me, this was the best snorkeling experience ever. Hell yeah, I can take selfies when I snorkel lol Exploring Mesa Village Next on our list of things to do around Labuan Bajo was a short stop to experience this village on stilts. Mesa village consists of over 1500 people and they don’t have any fresh water at all. With the wonderful Mesa village kids. Photo credits flyingeisha From what I hear, the villagers are scared of mosquitoes Dengue and hence they stopped accumulating water in any form through the years, since we all know mosquitoes breed in water. As per the villagers though, this is just one of the stories that has been passed on through generations and no one really knows how much truth it holds! Cute houses at the Mesa Village What surprised me most in this village was the fact that all kids were so friendly. They would not hesitate to hold your hand and walk with you as you explore the village and their parents were very supportive of their kids wandering off with strangers. I don’t see this trust a lot while traveling and its heart warming and surprising, both at the same time. These adorable kids won’t leave my hand even when I am taking a picture Ÿ™‚ Hiking up Padar Island Okay this is definitely a “must-do” if you are in Komodo. During our night at the boat, we made a stop to enjoy sunset from top of Padar island. It was the best decision ever, as this made my entire trip worthwhile – seriously! This is how it feels to be on top of the world – what a view! I kept hearing how steep and difficult the hike was but I was determined to make it to the top. In all honestly, I would rate it as a moderate but steep climb which I enjoyed to the fullest. Taking pictures and soaking in the beauty of Padar while climbing up. The best part was when I found my own spot, isolated from the hoards of tourists and photographers, waiting in anticipation for the sun to set. It took some effort and grass blade cuts, to walk on unpaved paths to reach the tip of a cliff but as you can see from these pictures, it was totally worth it and the 30 mins I spent looking at this exotic scenery, were surely some of the best moments of my life. Labuan Bajo to Padar island forms one of the most popular day trips but to fully experience the beauty of this island, I would highly recommend getting on the boat and just stop as you please – literally! Star gazing Onboard Felicia, we had a lovely sun deck with lounge bean bags. It was a great place to dance, chat and do some yoga during the day. At night, it was a different ball game all together. As the night approached, I could see the sky light up with millions of stars.. and soon we could see the milky way with our naked eyes. I was so mesmerized by this scene that I was the last one to go to sleep that night. After all, how many times does it happen that you are on a boat amidst untouched natural beauty and get to gaze at a clear sky full of stars and gawk at the milky way? Well, it was surely a first for me! Jumping off boats Yes! That’s a thing and also a must try’ experience. Since we were on our lovely exotic Felicia, many fellow members jumped off the boat into the inviting blue green waters. Rob and Jackson  take a leap of faith from the mast of the boat ; photo credits – Roxy aka The Tiny Taster. Where to stay in Labuan Bajo Jayakarta Suites Komodo Flores – The best part of Jayakarta for me was the pool with the strategically placed huge chess board by it. The fact that it is right next to the beach and offers amazing room views, is definitely a big bonus. Plus you can try traditional food Labuan Bajo during your stay at Jayakarta suites. Evening view from my room at Jayakarta suites Jayakarta Suites Poolside – Click here to book the stunning Jayakarta suites Phinisi Felicia boat by Plataran – Our night at the boat was one of the top highlights of the trip and everyone at the trip of wonders will vouch for it. Get on-board Phinisi private boats to sail away to glory at Labuan Bajo. Surely one of the best things to do in Labuan island. Labuan Bajo Attractions To Add to your Itinerary Even though I haven’t personally tried these. You might want to add these to your Labuan Bajo Flores itinerary. Batu Cermin Cave Located in the dark stone hills of Labuan Bajo, Batu Cermin Cave also locally known as Mirror Rock is an excellent local attraction that must be on your things to do in Labuan Bajo list.

Here you can capture some great Instagram-worthy shots that you would cherish for years to Loh Liang National Park While the Komodo National Park located on Flores Island is a popular vacation hotspot, Loh Liang National Park should be on your list if you are interested in watching more komodo dragons in their natural Rangko Cave Nestled in the Rangko Village, you can find the Goa Rangko cave which is another great attraction that you shouldn’t miss when you are visiting Labuan Bajo.
