Snorkelling with turtles, manta ray and so many fish and corals. Seeing so many Komodo dragons up close. The fantastic crew and our guide Arif who made the trip so enjoyable and gave us the time to do things at our own pace. The food which was absolutely delicious, the best we’ve had in Indonesia. Thank you Rafi!

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.

Quite good although things can be improved
The boat itself is fine, they gave us free wifi from a mobile, apart from drinks such as coke and sprite. You dive a lot, the guide was very friendly. The dinghy is very good, for 8 people to spare, and they also had two paddle surfs. The guide was always very attentive and alerting us to the currents, if we had to anchor, in a place of currents, with the dinghy he took us to a place where there was none, or in another case they came to pick us up at the end where the current ended. The only thing for me "bad" is that there is no cold water, everything is of the weather (except for the cokes). In our 4 days we saw turtles, komodo dragons, many reefs... The only thing we had no luck to see manta rays, although the guide was like 6 or 7 h waiting to see if they came... but this day we were unlucky.

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.

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 !!!
