- Fearless021622618840 contributionsWonderful ExperienceIt was awsome! It was my first time sleeping on a boat and I really liked it. The crew took so good care of us and our Guide Agus was the Best. The perfect mix of just staying on a boat relaxing, enjoying the ocean and talking to really nice people and experiencing adventures just like following the trails of the dragons, swimming and snorkelling with whale and baby sharks. Agus was always there with us and showed us around and told me everything I wanted to know. I am really grateful for this Journey and the people that went with me. I can’t emphasise enough about how wonderful the crew was. I could have stayed with them so much longer. Thank you guys, I will miss youWritten November 3, 2024

- K8225AXfabianb0 contributionsAwesome. 5*****Outstanding! I was traveling alone because my companion was bitten by a monkey in Bali. Hanafy made sure that the trip was still unforgettable. I can only recommend ordering from him, as he also offers a few other exciting things. Advantages: - good price (your hotel and others don't even come close to the price-performance ratio!) - for me the tour was completely private - fun, individual and simply good support - he takes very good pictures - and above all he makes an effortWritten September 6, 2024
- Scenic310165478370 contributionsGood, PerfectPossible unequal experience in Indonesia! 4 eternal days with amazing views and meeting animals you will rarely see in your life (whale shark, Komodo dragon, black tip shark). If you are there for a luxurious and comfortable cruise, go as you like, but if you want to live an extraordinary experience, in a friendly atmosphere and in a good mood, this cruise is for you. The atmosphere on the ship was amazing and I recommend taking this cruise.Written August 4, 2024

We saw komodo with its dragons, manta rays, whale sharks, dolphins, and we stopped on many small islands away from the crowds. Agus and his team were wonderful, they made us feel at home, they were always super kind and we became very good friends. I will carry with me a beautiful memory of these Indonesian boys.Written July 23, 2024

I highly recommend going with Leong the Explore if you are looking for a chill atmosphere, not too crowded. We were around 20 people and less than 15 to sleep on deck which was great, we had a lot of space.
The boat has everything that is needed and the crew was lovely. The food was good, always different and enough for everybody.
The whole experience was amazing !

The whole trip was wonderful!
The crew went to incredible lengths to make our stay on board as beautiful as possible.
Our guide Agus organized and coordinated everything very well.
Mahdi the chef cooked three super delicious meals every day. There was an incredible amount of food 😍
Ilhan, the captain and co-captains Aldyy and Rano drove us to the most beautiful places between Flores and Lombok and steered us safely through the night. Sahrir and Umam, the technical masters, took care of the safety of the boat. The whole crew was always very hard, always friendly and in a good mood!
Our boat was accompanied a bit by dolphins and we did somersaults together from the boat into the water.
We saw the Komodo Varane and whale sharks (even if the latter was too touristy for our taste - here is the behavior of the tourists to criticize than that of the locals).
We would book the tour again and again and can absolutely recommend it!
Terima Kasih! 🇮🇩♥️

The staff are fabulous and the boat, while budget, is nice overall. You do have to be comfortable with close sleeping quarters and the onboard bathrooms. Overall the trip is magical. We saw dolphins swimming besides the boat, manta rays jumping out of the water, sunsets, komodo dragons, and whales sharks. The komodo dragon part was a bit of a short walk through the park, I wish we did the longer one. We also stopped with 2 other boats at the same time, so there's about 100 tourists all staring at the same komodo dragons. The whale shark part was a massive draw for me, BUT I did not know that you are guaranteed to see whale sharks because they feed them. It's not really ethical. A group of us were upset by this and decided NOT to swim where they were feeding the whale sharks, we just wanted to swim. However, we didn't figure (stupidly in retrospect) that the whale sharks would swim by to get to the food. Had I known that this was how we'd see whale sharks, I would not have gone on the tour as I don't support it.
However, if you're ok with that, the staff is fabulous (again, they really are that great) and the overall experience is amazing. Just bummed I didn't see that part about the whale sharks on any of the reviews I read before I booked.

Komodo Dragon and Whale sharks interactions, beautiful sandy island beaches and remote villages. Fun staff, spectacular healthy food, endless early coffee, tea and water, use of snorkel and mask and our double room came with an ensuite bathroom and aircon we were not expecting. The 4 night trip also covered most of our journey back to Bali saving on flights and accomodation. It was recommended to us by a young couple in Labuan Bajo and went well beyond expectations. Thanks you sooo much the team from Leong the Explorer.

Absolutely beautiful experience! Definitely had the best time. Very good itinerary; you get to snorkel few times as well as swim with whale sharks, visit little islands in the middle of the ocean. Honestly did not have any expectations and it 110% exceeded them. Delicious food! Such lovely and funny crew members and absolute legend our tour guide Agus who really acommodated for our preferences and always double checked if we are okay with the option we were going to take. Cannot recommend enough! Best value for money!

Amazing journey with a formidable team, such a good time, energy and love. Within 4 days trip you see Komodo dragons, manta raies, whale sharks, pink beach, amazing Padar island and his sunrise.
And the best, only 10 peoples on the boat (except the crew) that’s mean we was like a big family all together. The crew was just so cool, thanks to Agus, Illham, Aldi, Sahrir, Umam, Rahno and Mahdi ❤️❤️

It was a fulfilling 4-day cruise. We were able to enjoy various activities such as swimming with sharks, observing Komodo dragons, and snorkeling. The cabins were full, so we stayed on the deck, but it wasn't too hot and we were able to stay comfortably. There was a breeze, so it was a little chilly, so I think you would have been able to sleep better if you had worn long sleeves and long pants. Rossi, who explained the tour to us, and our guide Dul were very kind.

Agus, the Guide welcomed us on board saying welcome home, and so we felt immediately perceiving the friendly spirit of the whole crew, incredible how tidy and clean they keep, on board they are always available and attentive to the needs of everyone whether it is to give a pill for seasickness or whether it is to remedy the forgetfulness of a forgetful like me who had left the phone on board and without their intervention I could not take photographs...
Lunches breakfasts and dinners great.... they fished for us ❣️
The places seen are amazing and we felt projected into nature!

Omg words can’t describe how amazing all the experiences we had. Not only the tour guide and the boat crew were amazing and accommodating, the people that were in it became my good friends. Love the fact that we swam with the whale shark, saw black tip sharks, turtle, lion fish, star fish, Komodo’s dragon ect….the view was spectacular.
This is a must do thing when you come to Indonesia. What an amazing experience we have got!!!
