Great experience on Ombak Putih

Enjoyed the great scenery along the way, seeing Whale Sharks and Komodo dragons. Also appreciated extra services such as driving us to our hotel at the end of the trip, washing clothes for us on the trip, mixing cocktails for us in the evening.

Good itinerary and guided trips to access nature wonders with acceptable level of comfort

-the good: access to unspoiled natural areas, good snorkeling; very good crew service; presence of a naturalist enhanced the experience via the presentations and information provided -the not so good: food was good but there were not enough "healthy" choices available for people with any kind of restrictions. Too much fried and fatty food- many companion travelers were complaining -the unacceptable: lack of safety vests! the light vests were in the cabin but too heavy for daily trips. It is not acceptable to have no light safety vests for water trips or snorkeling; even good swimmers may end up with some issues in areas with strong currents or just have a simple accident; this is a safety exposure to be fixed urgently -to be improved: lack of gifts/memories; people like to take home some material things to remind them of the cruise. There was nothing provided on ours except an unusable fabric bag and a very cheap fan.

A fantastic experience to be remembered for ever.

We saw a Komodo dragon kill a deer and then witnessed the "feast" as 4 more dragons joined in. The level of care and comfort on board was exceptional. The private beach where we snorkelled and watched the sun go down was lovely.

The guides Carolien and Eva were extremely thorough and nothing was too much for them to organise. The chef and his team cooked great meals. Snorkelling was amazing.
