Food was delicious and fresh . Local but not too spicy ! The ship ws amazing - straights out of pirates of the Caribbean and in fantastic condition along with being very clean and comfortable . All the activities on beach from trekking up hills , walking on pink beaches and of course seeing the Komodo dragons up close were absolutely amazing !!!!! The snorkeling was unreal and the best I have ever seen - manta , dolphins , white tipped reef sharks and sting rays to name a few !!! Awesome !!!

A very awesome boat trip
The boat trip with Bulan Purnama exceeded all our expectations. We were only two couples and five crew on this beautiful vessel so it almost felt like a private ship :-) Tinae was the most awesome cruise director and guide and knows the area very well. The crew in general was very accommodating and did their uttermost best to comfort us. Great food too, thanks again Andy, you’re a real chef! Highly recommended.

Best Trip of My Life!
My wife and I had an amazing trip with the crew of the Bulan Purnama! We originally feared for the worst due to a forecast of rain the entire time we were on the boat. Magically out to sea the clouds disappeared and we had the most beautiful sailing trip around Komodo National Park. We found many islands to trek to the top of and the best coral reefs I have ever seen! There were manta rays, sea turtles, and all kinds of beautiful sea creatures. The food provided on board was excellent and has not been matched by any restaurant or warung throughout our whole Indonesian trip. Andi was incredibly accommodating in the menu and took our request for more chilies with a smile. The crew were extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the area, the weather patterns, the sea, and where to find the mantas which was very lucky on our trip! I can’t recommend the trip highly enough.

Bastante bien aunque cosas mejorables
El barco en si está bien, nos dieron wifi gratuito desde un movil, a parte de bebidas tipo cocacola y sprite. Se bucea muchisimo, el guia fue muy amable. El dingui está muy bien, para 8 personas de sobra, y además tenían dos padel surf. El guía siempre fue muy atento y alertandonos de las corrientes, si teniamos que fondear, en un sitio de corrientes, con el dingui nos llevaba a un sitio donde no hubiese, o por otro caso nos venían a buscar al final donde la corriente acababa. Lo unico para mi “malo” es que no hay agua fría, todo es del tiempo (a excepcion de las cocacolas). En nuestros 4 días vimos tortugas, dragones de komodo, muchos arrecifes... lo unico que no tuvimos suerte para ver manta rayas, aunque el guia estuvo como 6 o 7 h esperando a ver si venían... pero este día no tuvimos suerte.
