Thalassa Phinisi
Guest reviews of trips booked with us, not of Thalassa specifically
Updated 23 October 2026
The reviews on this page come from guests of trips booked through PT Komodo Explorer Indonesia on other boats. None is a review of Thalassa 1 or Thalassa 2, and we do not write reviews ourselves. Excerpts are short, linked to their source and show first names only.
Whose words these are
These are guest messages and public reviews of our booking service, not of a Thalassa sailing. Each one names its source: a public review site, with a link, or a WhatsApp message shared by the guest with consent.
Excerpts stay short, and the author appears by first name only. We do not edit what a guest wrote beyond light grammar, and we do not pick a review because it flatters us. If a message mentions a boat, we show it only on a page where that boat belongs, and on this page no boat is named.
“They made our 2nd anniversary absolutely perfect. We got to stand just metres away from an actual Komodo dragon — the ranger was right there. The crew even played our song while we watched the sun go down.”
“Pengalaman yang luar biasa!”
“Very good boat, good experience, and fulfilled my dream to see a Komodo dragon.”
“Freedivers, listen up: the visibility was absolutely insane — 30+ metres on good days. Taka Makassar was my favourite, white sand bottom at 15 m that looks like a desert paradise underwater.”
“Pink Beach was our favourite spot — the pink sand against that crazy blue water. On the anjungan (front deck) we got gorgeous photos with the sail and open sea behind us.”
“We watched the most gorgeous sunset while thousands of flying foxes (kalong) started flying above us against the orange sky. The crew knew exactly where to position the boat for the best view.”
“Loved the experience — the team and crew are the best.”
“We saw not one, not two, but seven manta rays swimming together and I got to swim right among them. One passed maybe 2 metres below me and I could see every detail of its pattern.”
“Hands down the best tour I've joined in 6 months of travelling Southeast Asia — not too fancy, not too basic, just right. Sleeping on deck under stars was a major highlight. Worth every penny of my tight budget.”
“We did everything — paddleboard at sunrise, snorkel with sea turtles and manta rays with the love of my life by my side. The mantas were the grand finale — massive, elegant, just cruisin by.”

No Thalassa guest has written here yet
Plain version: no guest of Thalassa 1 or Thalassa 2 has reviewed a trip through us yet. We would rather show an empty shelf than fill it.
What the reviews above tell you is how we handle a booking: how fast we answer, how clearly we write and how we deal with a change of plan. What they do not tell you is what a cabin on Thalassa 1 feels like at dawn. For that, the pages on the boats, the cabins and the gallery are the source, and each says where its facts come from.
Writing to us after you sail
If you sail a Thalassa through us, write on WhatsApp when you are home. Tell us the boat, the dates and what you want said, and tell us whether we can publish it, with your first name and no one else's. We publish nothing without that consent.
You are also free to post on a public review site. We link to the review as written, and we do not ask for a score. A complaint reaches the same person as a thank-you.
