  1. What a lovely adventure you had! I heard these islands are a great scuba diving destination too. Seeing sea turtles must be a fascinating experience. I’m so glad I came across this post, as I’m planning another trip to Indonesia this summer. Thank you for sharing!

    1. This is one my friend’s favorite scuba spots. We actually saw a group of scuba divers when we were snorkeling. It’s funny seeing them a few meters down there from the surface.

  2. Oh wow! such an incredible experience. Seeing dolphins at the beginning of the day was really lucky. The under water photographs are lovely. Do they also offer scuba diving?

  3. Man, that water is just SO clear! I love swimming with turtles – I’ve been able to do it in the Caribbean and Hawaii. I need to make it out to Indonesia. The marine life you’ve encountered during your island hopping is magnificent. And waking up to dolphins is probably one of the best ways to start your day!

    1. Thank you, Rachelle! It’s really dreamy out here! Hope you will find your way here to swim with the turtles.

  4. What a great adventure you have had. I am so impressed with the underwater photos. How exciting for your family to see the dolphins swimming so close to your boat. We really need to plan a similar trip that for sharing the information.

    1. Thank you, Jane! This trip was different from the ones we’ve made, so it’s so special! We hope to see more dolphins in our future travels.

  5. This looks like such an amazing way to travel. A hot tub on the upper deck? Wow! And those photos of snorkeling with the turtles are stunning! What a magical trip. I would love to do this!

  6. I have been dreaming for a long time to go to Flores. My parents are supporting a family over there and she always sends the cutest pictures. I had no idea that the underwater life is so pretty there. I want to go!

    1. Aww… that’s very wonderful of your parents to support a family there. There are still lots of poverty in that part of the country. You must try to visit them and you will be awe with the beautiful of not just the underwater life over there.

  7. Love it! I will be here in 8 months and enjoyed reading every minute of this post! Really makes me feel like I am there. I am most excited about the snorkeling!

  8. The underwater shots are gorgeous! I love Indonesia and it’s been too long since I last visited so this post made me want to go back right now!

  9. What a place!!! Do you know if it is possible to do scuba diving? was the boat very expensive?
    The boat really surprised me, I was expecting something a lot more traditional not with a hot tub hahaha. Very cool!!

    1. Yes, you can do scuba diving around the Komodo Islands. Some said it has the best spot in the world. My scuba diver friends who live in Jakarta (the capitol of Indonesia), went there back and forth. There are different kind of boats that you can rent. We met a group of divers several times. Their boat were normally the traditional ones. It looked like they booked a daily trip through travel agencies around Labuan Bajo, the home base to Komodo Islands.
