Sailing Indonesia | 4 Days 3 Nights - Lombok to Flores

LOMBOK TO FLORES
This trip was so beautiful. I cannot state that enough. However the whole Whale shark situation kind of put a downer on it. Please view and make a decision which feels good for you.
I’d defiantly recommend Kareem the explorer. The staff worked extremely hard. The boat was spotless and the food was absolutely amazing. Some of the best food I have had in Indonesia. They always provide fruit and Balinese food for lunch and dinner. For breakfast it is either a pancake or jam sandwich.
It’s a great way to meet people, to see things and to get from one place to the next.
I paid 280AUD. Prices have increased because of entry prices to islands increasing. Also they are overwhelmed with business and are quickly selling out of places.
Sleeping in the deck was a really cool experience. On our boat, we was enclosed but we had all of the windows open, and yes.. we was all sleeping side by side. Honestly it wasn’t too bad. But if you like your space, I’d recommend to get a cabin. They are small but have everything you need. Essentially it is a room the size of a double bed with a fan inside. But still clean and comfortable. They even provide Gucci pillows.
Once you get to Labuan Bajo, the main attraction there is to dive Komodo Island, or go and see all the sights you have just seen on the boat trip. I don’t think many people stay here for long. Most fly back to Bali however I’m sure the island is very beautiful when explored off the beaten track.
Whale Shark Facts -
- In early 2017, marine wildlife conservationists from around the globe condemned the practice of shark feeding, saying it harmed the whale sharks by altering their migration patterns, natural behaviour, and eating habits.
- whale sharks are listed as endangered by the IUCN
- propeller scars were observed on 47 per cent of whale sharks
- Touching whale sharks can disturb the protective mucous layer on their skin

[@Arthur-nd8jt]

Are you allowed to book a cabin if you're travelling by yourself or is this mainly for couples?

[@AnOctopusProduction]

Yes anyone can book it 😊 it’s a little bit extra money £20/£30 but definitely worth it if you like your own space

[@Arthur-nd8jt]

@@AnOctopusProduction Thanks! definitely would make it a lot more comfortable haha, guessing there were quite a few solo travellers on the trip too?

[@AnOctopusProduction]

@@Arthur-nd8jt yes I agree 😂 I was on the deck and was constantly sleeping on the girls hair next to me 😂 practically everyone were solo travellers, really easy to make friends too as everyone is in such close quarters
