点评:Went on 5 days 4 nights Sailing Komodo Island to Lombok in late Sept to Oct 2025 through Tourada. This is the only itinerary which combined swimming with whale shark, close encounter with Komodo dragons, swimming with manta rays, snorkelling in pink coral beach. We didn't see any manta rays, which was disappointing, but understand that wildlife cannot be guaranteed. Whale watching was practically the fishing boat feeding one whale shark, and we as swimmers were circling the whale shark taking pictures. There were like 10 boats at the same time, with many swimmers, and I was pushed towards the whale shark which I actually touched its rough skin by accident. The whale shark's mouth was like 4 feet wide, but fortunately it is a gentle giant which eats planktons and tiny fish & shrimps, so it didn't bother me at all. The Komodo Dragon was quite a scary reptile, which was dashing towards where we stood, and the staff used a forklike tree branch to keep it away from the people. There have been accidents of Komodo dragons killing humans every year, my recommendation to stay away at least 10 feet from it. The boat was not the type of fancy cruise ship, but the staff in general delivered good service. Food was served in a variety of items, including live seafood, which they caught from the ocean and cooked fresh daily with lots of vegeables, fruits and local items such as nasi goreng. We stayed in master cabin, so we had the most luxurious room on the top floor with sitting room area, views and balcony with sun chairs. Make sure you book early, as the other passengers on board paid slightly less than us, but were staying in the cabin at the basement of the boat, with small space, no windows and very basic amenities. There were multiple snorkelling trips with beautiful unspoiled coral reef, and the best part was using a drone to capture our pictures, which this tour provided as complimentary, but you would have to ask for it as they don't automatically email it to you. The last thing was about the transfer from disembarking the boat to the harbour at Lombok. It was supposed to be 1 hour dirve; however, there was only 1 lane and our van couldn't go faster due to its older engine which has taken about 2 hours and we practically almost missed the boat if we haven't called the captain of the boat back to Bali by phone. Please also find out ahead of time which harbour you would disembark at Lombok and if the transfer was included. It has taken me more than 1 month to communicate with Persona Indo who has kept refusing to give us the transfer to Lombok harbour where we took the boat to Bali; but at the end, he confirmed saying that they offered the free transfer. Communication wasn't smooth, so you better keep everything in writing and do your own research prior. I would still recommend this sailing because it's the only operator that offers a varieity of activities all in one trip.
翻译:2025年9月底至10月,我们通过Tourada报了为期5天4晚的科莫多岛至龙目岛海上游轮之旅。这是唯一一条将与鲸鲨同游、近距离接触科莫多龙、与蝠鲼共游以及在粉色珊瑚海滩浮潜这些项目结合在一起的旅游路线。遗憾的是,我们并没有看到任何蝠鲼,不过我们也明白野生动物的出现是无法保证的。至于观鲸环节,实际上就是渔船在投食以吸引鲸鲨而已。我们这些游泳者围着鲸鲨拍照。当时大约有10艘船停在那里,上面有很多游泳者;我被挤到了鲸鲨身边,还不小心摸到了它粗糙的皮肤。那只鲸鲨的嘴宽约4英尺,不过幸好它是个温顺的“巨兽”,只以浮游生物以及小鱼小虾为食,所以完全没有骚扰我。科莫多龙则是一种相当可怕的爬行动物,它正飞快地朝我们站立的地方冲来。工作人员用类似叉子的树枝把巨蜥赶离人群。每年都有科莫多龙伤人甚至致死的事故发生,因此我建议与它保持至少10英尺的距离。那艘船并非那种豪华游轮,但工作人员总体上提供了不错的服务。餐食种类丰富,包括从海里捕获的活海鲜,这些海鲜每天都会与大量的蔬菜、水果以及印尼炒饭等当地特色食品一起新鲜烹制。我们住在主舱房里,因此享受到了顶层最豪华的房间——里面有休息区、绝佳的景观以及带太阳椅的阳台。务必提前预订,因为船上的其他乘客虽然支付的费用比我们稍少一些,但他们住的却是位于船底的舱房,空间狭小、没有窗户且设施极其简陋。船上还组织了多次浮潜活动,可以观赏到美丽且未受破坏的珊瑚礁;最棒的是我们还能使用无人机来拍摄照片。这次旅行免费提供了该物品,但您得主动索要才行,因为他们不会自动通过邮件发送给您。最后一点是关于下船后从船上前往龙目岛港口的交通情况。原本预计车程为1小时,但实际上只有一条车道,而且由于我们的面包车发动机较老旧,车速无法加快,结果花了将近2小时才到达。要不是我们及时打电话给返回巴厘岛的船长,我们几乎就要误船了。请事先确认您将在龙目岛的哪个港口下船,以及接送服务是否包含在内。我花了1个多月的时间与Persona Indo进行沟通,而对方始终拒绝为我们安排前往龙目岛上船前往巴厘岛的港口的接送服务;不过最终他们确认会提供免费接送服务。整个沟通过程并不顺利,因此建议您务必将所有事宜以书面形式确认,并事先自行做好调查。我仍然推荐这次航海之旅,因为它是唯一一家能在一次行程中提供多种活动的运营商。
