An absolutely incredible experience. Our guide Dedi and the whole crew were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was out of this world as well! The only... read more point to improve is actually not the fault of LT - we would like to have had more time on Komodo island but the ranger seemed to want to get rid of us ASAP.

  I have just come of this trip and all I can say is WOW. An absolutely amazing experience. The tour size is perfect (8 people), the food was exceptional with... read more so much choice. Each stop on the tour was picture perfect! The staff on board were amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Our guide “Yo” took some amazing pictures of myself and the group via drones, GoPro’s and a professional camera. These little things really make the memory special.

The only downside was the Komodo National Park itself. We arrived and there were 3 Komodo Dragons on the beach, swarmed with hundreds of tourists, I felt sorry for them. Not only this, I witnessed a ranger pulling a dragons head towards the camera with his stick just to please a tourist for their picture.

Furthermore, our group was merged with another group during our walk with the local guide which resulted in us waiting around for people while they left to take pictures of the Komodo’s on the beach, wasting our valuable time to walk around the rest of the national park. Our local guide walked with us for about 15 minutes were we seen another dragon away from the beach and he then told us the tour was over and we headed back to the beach. The reasoning he gave us was that he had done the tour 4 times that day and seen no other dragons in other locations. I don’t doubt for a second that he knows better than us but to not even be given the chance to walk around to see for ourselves was disappointing. The tour was meant to be 1 hour and a half, which resulted in 15 minutes. He continued to tell us that we were lucky to have 3 dragons on the beach and we should go back to see them. The whole point travelling to a national park is to see them in the wild, whereas what we actually got was a staged zoo.

Aside from that, the tour was magnificent but I would just be weary about your actual visit to the Komodo national Park.

  The boat is excellent, food as well! All the staff were very friendly and helpful! I definitely recommend

  Affordable trip with amazing crews for tour guide Erwin and the team! The choices of places to visit were great, not too mention the Chef was very good, all... read more the foods were prepared with good quality and so delicious. At the end of the trip, we also received some pictures and videos of us.

The feedback is more about the boat itself. It’s time to do some touch up so it looks better. The picture that they posted and the reality is a bit different because the boat is probably old already.

But overall, it was a great experience with this boat tour.

  Get ready for an incredible trip !
The activities organized during the trip were awesome ! The visit to see the Komodo dragons was fast but we could see them... read more very close. My favorite moment was the snorkling with the manta rays Wonderful ! Also, Dylan (the guide) brung us to unknown places for snorkling, where tourists are not present. The trekkings were also very pleasant, specially the one with sunset

We spent 3 days in the Akassa boat with Dylan, Riki, and the lovely crew everyone was kind and patient, also the food was really incredible (I am very difficult with food), sometimes it was better than lots of Indonesian restaurants ! Pastas, crabs, chicken curry, fresh sea fishes, etc every dish sas really tasty. Congrats to the chef‍ for cooking all these in a tiny kitchen !

Thank you to Dylan and Riki for their kindness, their time, explanations, help, and the videos/pictures taken with their cameras (Reflex camera and drone for the video/photo sessions and GoPro during the snorkling sessions !). At the end of the trip, all the videos and pictures are shared to all the participants
We recommand you this agency ! If possible, ask for Dylan and his team.

  very bad and unreliable company. Due to a strike our trip was cancelled but they doesn't answer us when we ask to pay back the down payment.
I think it... read more is better to book with another company with one is more to be trusted!

  We did the 2N3D shared boat trip. It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish
Amazing opportunity to see the unspoilt natural beauty of The Komodo National Park. Watching the... read more flying bats at sunset, seeing the sunrise at Padar Island and seeing the Milky Way were just some of the highlights of the trip. Lots of fantastic snorkelling opportunities .. We saw a couple of sea turtles swimming in the sea and were fortunate enough to snorkel with a Manta Ray Met the most amazing group of people and our time on the boat was as enjoyable as our time off the boat. Food was tasty and plentiful. The crew were brilliant.. Excellent at their jobs and such good fun. Shared rooms are small and the facilities onboard are basic but this is reflected in the price you pay for this incredible experience I would 100% recommend this trip Thank You to our fellow passengers and to Yoram and the fantastic crew

  All in all a very good experience, nice staff and programme but be aware that the visit to Komodo island to see the dragons is very short (1/2 hour max.... read more In 3 days) while it wa an supposed to be the highlight of our cruise

  The trip takes you on some amazing spots but you follow along with hundreds of other people all at the same time. Then half the time is used to take... read more “fake” and posed photos. Loved the tour, loved the stops but this is an Instagram tour.

Komodo island stop is ultimately a zoo that’s parading around restricted, poked and stressed Komodos for the entertainment of the visitors. Don’t be fooled by the “national park” title. It’s a zoo.

Boat is basic and clean. Ignore the superior or deluxe wording. It does the job but nothing to get excited about here.

The snorkelling spots were amazing if you can stand to watch the boats and people pollute and damage the coral.

One stop they are even feeding bread to fish for the sake of the gobs of tourist. With a quick internet search you can find out that this is harmful to the digestion and reproductive systems. Why is this allowed? Again, mass tourism and no care for environment.

Staff are lovely, engaging and helpful. They are a 5/5 and wouldn’t fault them with anything. They are just trying to make a living within a flawed system.

Overall I don’t know what to think. Amazing while it lasts I guess. It’s obvious that they don’t care about the actually ecosystem they are operating within.

  The trip and crew are amazing. We thought our highlight would be to see the dragons. But what was even more beautiful was the coral and fish. We saw manta’s... read more sharks and the crew knew all the right spots. We stayed at the Elvano. A boat voor max 9 people. Whe had een real nice group and crew with an amazing cook. Highly recommended. Our guide Dedi was the best. He made underwaterphoto’s and videos and also droneshots. The whole crew was really helpfull.

Where to start to describe it?!

The boat is nothing short of pure luxury, built following traditional ways – which makes it a wonderful place to stay -with many relaxing areas, and wide common spaces to spend time together. The chef and his team were really excellent - we’ve had so much and fine food during the entire trip!! Also, we had really enjoyable Welcoming drinks upon each return of snorkeling excursions, which we really appreciated!

The boat trip wouldn’t have been the same without our amazing tour guide, Erwin – who puts his heart and his inexhaustible energy all along, to guide us, find the right places, spread good vibes.. Erwin has put his incredible photographer talent at our service, so that all this beautiful memory will be set in stone forever!! Also we’ve been really lucky to encounter great people to cruise with! We had so much fun on board.

Last but not least, we’ve seen the most beautiful places in our entire life during this trip, really! The pink beach was simply magical!

We’ve left the group, the crew and the boat with amazing & sweet memory we’ll think about for a loooong time. Just cannot wait to be back on board of VINCA!!!
