Simply amazing
The Tanaka is an amazingly beautiful boat. I was worried about privacy on a boat, but there was plenty of space to find peace and the design is simply beautiful... I felt at home as soon as I stepped on board, and you simply know she was created with much love by the owner (Alain) who realised his dream... The rooms are well appointed and the beds comfortable and to have a hot shower after a dive is divine! Food was good. Drinks were perfect - unexpectedly found ourselves drinking some great French red wine! The diving was EPIC! Dive sites are unspoiled and corals so healthy, we have seen so much large stuff (incredible dive with Manta’s flirting with us for a full hour) and lots of amazing macro stuff as well (baby ghost pipe fish)... Strong currents, but very manageable with knowledgeable guides. Other guests on board were lovely and we shared an unforgettable experience... Diving in Komodo is epic and to experience it on a boat like the Tanaka makes it unforgettable - we will be back!

Wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
We had an amazing time on board the Tanaka! Alain and Arnaud were wonderful hosts. We had many incredible experiences in just 4 short days. Our favorites were the visit to Rinca Island to see Komodo Dragons, diving with awesome sea life and coral, sunrise trek on Padar Island and sunset with the flying foxes. Thank you Tanaka crew, we’ll be back!!

A short trip that was very satisfying
Cool wooden sailing boat. Beautiful cabin.Friendly staff. And thanks to the fun and kind other Mr./Ms. who cared about something, I participated alone, but it was a very satisfying short cruise.I forced myself to take two days off on my three-day holiday and went to Komodo, which I had always wanted to visit. When I searched the Internet for a boat that seemed to fit the schedule for 3 nights and 4 days, there was a Tanaka cruise, and I thought it was owned by Japan people, but in fact, it was Mr./Ms. owned by a nice guy named Mr./Ms. Alaine.In the dive, the manta rays circled in front of me all the time, which was too luxurious. The afternoon dive on the second day was canceled due to poor sea conditions, but it was arranged according to the situation with excellent hospitality such as snorkeling on the beach and snacks. In the afternoon of the third day, we trekked to see the Komodo dragons.Also, the inside of the ship was always kept clean and I was able to spend a comfortable time.If you want to dive in Komodo, I recommend it.

Superb!
In an idyllic setting, Tanaka made us make the most of what the komodo park could offer, extraordinary dives, but we also enjoyed beautiful beaches, and beautiful sunrise and sunset hikes. The atmosphere was there. The crew took care of us throughout the journey. Thank you Tanaka

Very nice boat & super crew
The highlight were of course the diving. We had very experienced and fun dive leader what added to the positive experience. The crew was really outstanding from a super friendly captain, fab cook (food was very delicious and diverse), Agus who took care about the lobby, drinks, canine etc., the dive boatguys who greatly helped us in/out the boat with great patience and humor. One recommendation: sometimes we had to wait a bit longer until the dive bottles were filled again. They had one compressor on board; maybe two or a more powerful one is needed to not spoil unnecessary time but this was really the only thing. The boat is new, very cozy and nicely decorated; cabinets are very spacious and the on deck there are many hangout areas

Incredible week with an amazing crew on a beautiful boat
I don't even know where to start as everything was just perfect. It's usually the people that make the holiday and Tanaka did just that. Yes the boat is beautiful, the food was great, the dive sites were beautiful and the National Park itself is breathtaking but the highlight of my trip were the crew. Alain and Ineke (the owners) bring their positive energy to the boat and you can feel it among the crew. There is a real family vibe on the boat as the crew mingles and socialises with the guests and I liked that a lot. The boat itself is beautiful and super comfortable with both indoor and outdoor spaces. You can always find a corner and have a quiet time alone or you can hang out with other guests and the crew. I loved it so much I will definitely be booking it again. Thank you guys for an amazing week.
