A HEARTWARMING SAILING EXPERIENCE WITH GOLDEN ISLAND CRUISES

Traveling to Komodo National Park during the peak season in July can be challenging, but our experience with Golden Island Cruise proved that the right operator can turn a long journey into a joyful and unforgettable adventure.

Before starting our Komodo sailing trip, we stayed on Gili Trawangan. The Golden Island Cruise team arranged a smooth boat transfer to Bangsal Harbor, which was our meeting point before continuing to the Golden Island Cruise office in Kopang for registration.

From Bangsal Harbor, the land transfer took around 2.5 hours, making the total travel time from Gili Trawangan approximately 3 hours. The journey didn’t stop there. After completing registration, we continued with another 1.5-hour drive to the port, where our Komodo sailing adventure officially began. Despite the long journey, everything felt comfortable and well-organized.

Warm Welcome That Made a Difference

Upon arriving at the Golden Island Cruise office, we were warmly welcomed by the team. They served us refreshing welcome drinks, instantly lifting our mood after the long drive.
What truly stood out was their genuine care. The staff asked about our trip from Gili Trawangan, the car condition, the Bangsal meeting point, and how we felt during the journey. Their attention to detail made us feel relaxed, valued, and comfortable.

A Fun and Memorable Registration Process

After enjoying the welcome drinks, we continued with the registration and payment process. Instead of feeling formal or rushed, it turned into a fun and memorable moment.
The team explained the Komodo trip itinerary clearly and in detail. They also asked about food allergies and special preferences. We laughed together, shared jokes, played simple magic tricks, and even sang songs. It felt less like a transaction and more like spending time with friends.
This kind of service shows that Golden Island Cruise doesn’t just focus on operations, they truly care about creating meaningful experiences for their guests.

Clear Briefing Before the Trip

Before departure, we attended a pre-trip briefing where everything was explained clearly, including:
• Daily itinerary
• Safety procedures
• Inclusions and exclusions
• What to prepare during the sailing trip

This briefing gave us confidence and excitement for the journey ahead.

Choosing Golden Island Cruise for our Komodo Island sailing trip was absolutely the right decision. From well-arranged transfers and warm hospitality to clear communication and fun interactions, every detail exceeded our expectations.

If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional Komodo tour operator, there is no reason not to choose Golden Island Cruise.
Highly recommended for anyone planning a Komodo sailing adventure.
