Overall a great trip to Indonesia, wonderful locals with a serenity quality to their culture, refreshing. We did not make it to Cunca Wulong waterfall & cultural dance due to fatigue from previous 3 days on Liveaboard to Komodo Island. Saw Komodo dragons resting & saw a blue manta ray while snorkeling -epic snorkeling for us which was unexpected. Driver was punctual, polite & kind. Our Sudamala Resort stay was relaxing & felt high-end for
accommodations. Great breakfast banquet each morning. Wonderful staff! Ciella, our contact was helpful & responsive to many questions.

Great snorkeling! Nice crew. The food was mostly good. Though our cabin was large, it lacked a sink so had to brush teeth outside to spit off boat or in outside bathtub. -our guide John helped us see Komodo Dragons and a blue manta ray. He took good care of the 12 of us passengers.

Hi Jamie,
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review, I’m so glad to hear Indonesia left a great impression on you! It sounds like your time around Komodo Island was truly memorable, especially spotting the Komodo dragons and that blue manta ray, such special moments :) I completely understand skipping Cunca Wulang and the cultural dance after the liveaboard, those trips can be quite demanding.
