Have just completed five days with Sea Safari from Labuan Bajo. Touring, snorkeling and diving around Komodo Island. Trip was amazing. Remarkable scenery above and below water. Fabulous food on board. Spotless rooms and exemplary service from the delightful crew on board. You will not get a better experience. Simply wonderful.

We just finished a 5 day diving trip in the land of the dragons with 15 pax on board the Cheng Ho. It was a first time for me in Komodo and also a first time to board a Phinisi, my expectations of the boat, the crew, and the dive sites were met with more than what I had expected. As a full time scuba instructor I was delighted to see how the dive staff of the boat showed and performed safe dive practices during our dives, how keen their attention to detail was underwater, and the dive briefings were followed spot on to every detail. What I liked most about this boat and its crew was that the whole time we were on board it felt spacious and it seemed that we were the only ones there and on the last night when every member of the crew was introduced I didn't think that they were that many of them on board, I know the boat was big but its how the staff gave you the feeling of having your own space and privacy was what I commend. A big shout out to our Cruise Director Mark for handling our group with such profession. To the kitchen staff who made simple but amazing dishes for everyone to enjoy. To the dive masters who were always quick to lend a helping hand top side and underwater. To the boat crew who always had us in mind making sure that we were always in good calm waters regardless of the moments when winds would really blow. I would definitely come back and board sea safari cruises.
