Nice people, good food, interesting place

We booked a stay for 3 nights together with a fully planned 4-day trip trough the komodo national park. Jhojo did a great job and showed us the all the beautys of the national park. We had a provate boat, with our own captain, Firman and his son. We saw a lot of dragons, visited beautiful snorkelling places. Jhojo guided us also to see turtles and lovley corals! We slept at his wifes brothers house and had an amazing all inclusive package of delightful indonesian cuisine. Though you cant find luxus on this island, everybody is so nice and respectful, like the whole village is one big family (together with dragons in the garden). Big thanks to Jhojo ans his Family for this amazing experience, we can absolutely recommend this to everyone. See you next time Jhojo! 🥰

Wow! I wish I could give this more stars!! We had a fantastic time with Jackie and his family staying on the Komodo Island 🤩 We would really recommend this for anyone wanting to see the island at a more leisurely pace. The room was lovely - there was a fan, a comfy bed and it was right on the water front of the village. Jackie and his wife were wonderful hosts and within the price you get 3 delicious meals a day! Jackie also organised for us to take a local boat with a local captain to see Manta Point/Pandar/pink beach - he's a local ranger so he took us around Komodo Nation Park (and even his own village) where we saw loads of Komodo dragons. We loved his stories and he spoke excellent English! It was the best experience we had in Indonesia so far ❤️ Some tips that we learnt: There is a public boat but it only leaves on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. It's from the fish market on Labuan Badjo (if you go there the locals are really helpful). We paid 100k each. It leaves at 11am but we arrived at 9am - there are no seats so be ready to sit on the floor. It's a busy boat so we were squished like sardines. The boat takes around 4 hours and is loud but there was a toilet onboard. The return boat leaves on Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday back to Labuan Badjo. If this isn't something you're interested in, speak to Jackie as he'll arrange collection and drop off with you for a reasonable price (and it can work around your schedule). It's totally worth staying on the island - the views are amazing! Best sunset we've seen! You also see waaayy more dragons near the village than at the National Park (and there aren't many people) The boat Jackie organised for us was 2 million for the whole day! The captain knew exactly where to find the Manta rays and even came swimming with us. It was lovely to see the sights on our times so would highly recommend this :) we did the national park on the same day to only purchase the ticket once!

Jhuna opened his doors and made sure all our needs were met , we came to the island for 1 thing to see the dragons and Jhuna made sure we seen plenty … many more then the national park tour . Also Jhuna took us on a boat tour back to Labuan bajo and took us on a private snorkeling tour where we seen tropical fish and coral, aswell as huge manta rays swimming in the ocean … Jhuna went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and we are more then grateful . Thank you

Bahari (our amazing tour guide and camera man), Sargen (our brilliant captain) and Jahiding and wife (host and first class cook) made this an unbelievable experience ! Be aware that the accommodation is very basic and I recommend taking earplugs (also for the boat), but once you settle down and get absorbed into the village life, the adventure begins and a different world opens. The wifi is almost nonexistent but after a while you can accept it as it is and relax. FB and instagram will wait for you … Our trip started at the harbor when we were warmly greeted by the ever smiling Bahari. After a 1,5 hour trip we arrived at our first snorkeling point and in the course of getting to the homestay, we visited 3 absolutely amazing snorkeling places where we saw at least 20+ beautiful turtles and such an abundance of other fish and corals. This continued the next two days and highlight were seeing so many Komodo dragons, being surrounded by hundreds of dolphins and of course the people we met on the tours. The whole trip may be expensive, but work out what 3 meals a day, a private guide and a private boat, entrance to the park etc etc … will cost, then the amount you pay is worth it, trust me. Would I do it again…damn right I would.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The family who hosted us was very kind and helped arrange a local boat to take us to different beaches and snorkeling spots that were absolutely gorgeous (like manta point and pink beach). The host is a ranger at Komodo National Park and gave us a wonderful tour. It was very special to stay in the Muslim village on the sea and have a glimpse of life there. Everyone was very friendly and warm.
