I dont recommend
The trip was not well organized. It took us 12h to go to sumbawa. The experience is great but 3h swim for such a mess with the organization. It’s definitely not worth it. My family and I didn’t feel respected and we didn’t have any commercial gesture.

Dear Client
Thankyou for taking the time to provide your review on Trip Advisor.
before the departure, our representative informed you about the whole tour itinerary, and its clear to us that you dont understand it well.
our tour is a sharing tour. it means that we will do the tour with group of people. all the facilities (room, transport, boat, etc) is sharing, but we provide you free extra room without any additional charge as a complement for the inconvenience that you have during the transfer from Lombok to Sumbawa.
The tour/Transport can be upgraded to private, however, there will be additional charge applied. that is why we charge you for private transfer from Sumbawa to Lombok on our way back (please note that this tour is sharing tour)
On this tour, we try to find a whale sharks in it natural habitat. it is expected if the whale sharks sometimes doesn't appear in the area. what we usually do is we take you farther to make sure you meet them, and this make our snorkeling tour longer as a result.
lastly, we are really sorry for the inconvenience that you have during the tour, but we already done the tour based on our company standard operational procedure. thankyou for your honest review and we hope you have a great holiday.

Great!
A great experience! Swimming with whale sharks was amazing! The guides on the boat are on top! It’s a long drive to Sumbawa but it’s worth it for the experience ahead.

Can definitely recommend!
This tour was everything I hoped it would be! We saw 4 whale sharks, and we had them all to ourselves as our guide took us to a spot away from other groups. We weren't rushed at all and could practically spend as long as we liked in the water with them. It is a long journey with a lot of driving, but worth it to see the sharks! Our guide was wonderful and took really good care of us, and broke up the journey with stops for snacks and to see the weaving village.

Excellent Experience
This was such an amazing day we got to swim with the rich underwater beauty and on what was meant to be our last jump, I didn't get to see them properly so they let us go again to ensure that I got my final chance. The guides were great.

Perfect day
We went straight to the actual manta point, which is quite far, so not every tour does this. Arriving there, we were able to see 2 mantas! We decided to stay there for a bit longer, and afterwards we sailed to a point with corals and lots of fish for a shorter period of time. Only downside: due to the turbulent ride, we got bruised as there weren’t any cushions on the seats.

The best
The guides was fantastic. There was a lot of boats out there but they found their own ways so where we were it was only a couple of boats. They had lifewests so I could have one while snorkeling. Thanks a lot for that.

Amazing experience
Excellent service; we felt safe, and had so much fun seeking out the Whales and spending time snorkelling. Absolutely stunning scenery. Fresh fruit was a bonus! Wish we could do it again. Thank you to the guide.

Highly recommend!
Even better than imagined, this trip was just amazing. The guide really wants you to enjoy this experience. We had a great atmosphere, some further information and he tried to give us as much of exclusivity and distance to other tours as possible. Always would recommend this!
