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.

Lovely staff, enjoyable activities
This review system is only asking for positives (of which there are many) but a few things to work on; - not enough life jackets for passengers - power went out several times during night meaning no AC/fan (cabins were HOT) - shower/toilet was dirty and needs renovation Now the positives; - spent time on beautiful sandy island, we were the only ones there! Amazing! - crew and fellow passengers lovely - crew very accommodating

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.
