TESTIMONIALS
EXCELLENT Based on 276 reviews Posted on Macy CastanedaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The absolute most incredible and life changing experience! This was the first time that my friend and I did a liveaboard, but I can assure you it is no ordinary liveaboard. While the diving is key (9 dives in only 3 days), they add much more! I stayed at one of the best resorts on Flores before, and I can tell you this liveaboard did everything that resort had to offer: 1. Try local refined cuisine? - Wunderpus had a personal chef with the BEST meals that catered to passengers' allergies 2. Visit Manta Point/See Manta Rays? - Try scuba diving right next to Manta Rays on multiple dives! 3. See Komodo dragons? - We did a morning hike with the dragons! 4. Boat trip? - You live on the boat! 5. Hiking day? - Oh yes, they include a beautiful sunset hike 6. Learn about the culture/meet locals? - the crew is amazing! The dive instructors are professional and friendly, and the other crew members are very kind. We had awesome conversations and stories to share I cannot recommend enough. Will definitely be back. I also want to emphasize that I went on the Mimic because I needed something more budget friendly. I do not think I missed out on anythingPosted on Alison L BowerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most amazing trip of our life. The crew at Wunderpus are super professional, the boat is gorgeous and well maintained. Food was abundant and delicious. We did 15 dives over 5 days. We were new divers having just completed our OWD. By the end we were feeling super confident. Komodo National Park is absolutely mind blowing!!Posted on Artur OtremskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wunderpus delivered an outstanding liveaboard experience. The whole team showed exceptional professionalism and skills across every aspect—safety briefings, navigation, dive guiding, vessel maintenance, and onboard hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a safe, well-run, and truly enjoyable liveaboard.Posted on Emma LeamonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fantastic 4D 3N trip with Dolin, Mario and the Mimic crew! We felt very looked after as relatively inexperienced divers and did some amazing diving (mantastic!) Will be recommending to everyone!Posted on Karen FergusonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow wow wow…My husband and I private chartered The Mimic for 4 nights and 5 days recently. It was a toss up between their other boat The Wunderpus for a 3 night/4 day trip with others or to splurge a bit more for a private experience with the budget boat all to ourselves and to add another day and night. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. The extra night and day was a good call because we were able to do fit everything in without feeling rushed or wanting more. The crew handled ALL the details and heard our requests for the trip. Dolin is seasoned and is a master at understanding the currents, the visibility, and when to visit the dive sites to get the best experience. We did 15 dives in 5 days, visited Komodo Island, Pink Beach, did a sunset hike with a stellar view (avoided the crowded Padang island hike), and we had PLENTY of downtime to just CHILL on the bean bags or take the kayak for some paddling. My husband and I are experienced scuba open water divers however the majority of our dives have been in the Caribbean since we live in the USA. The long long flights and hours spent on 3 planes were so worth exploring Komodo National Park. The variety of the coral and the abundance of fish was mind blowing and so exciting. We had saw lots and lots of Mantas up close along with turtles, octopuses, white and black tip reef sharks, a massive variety of fish both large and small, and BEAUTIFUL abundant healthy coral. Dolin was very professional and made sure our needs were met while making sure we were always safe in the water and on the boat. I spent quite a bit of time researching operators and Wunderpus was at the top of the list and I can honestly say that what I read from the reviews is true. From my communication with Ed, to the time we were dropped off at our resort after our EPIC trip on The Mimic, was a smooth and wonderful experience that had me grinning ear to ear. I also need to mention the other 4 men on The Mimic did an amazing job too..the food was a 10 out of 10. I still am perplexed how the chef managed to whip up several dishes at a time in that tiny kitchen. The captain of the boat handled the navigation so well that neither of us got motion sickness. The other 2 helped make sure the ship stayed clean and helped out with the scuba equipment and so much more. Even sleeping on the upper deck was special as we were able to see both the sunset and sunrise each day. I was not sure how well I would sleep in the open air with no air conditioning and it was actually fantastic!! If you are thinking about booking a vacation with Wunderpus, please give yourself this gift and look no further. You get a more personalized than the boats with big groups of people. Their ratio even if you don’t charter the boat is much smaller than others. I cannot imagine seeing Komodo just by the fast boats either since it takes over an hour to get to a dive site from Labuan Bajo. We were usually the first ones at the dive site and rarely saw other divers thanks to Dolin’s strategic planning. I could go on and on about what a stellar trip this was for us but I believe by now you get I am super happy with choosing The Mimic for a scuba diving extravaganza!!!Posted on Philipp ZimmererTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved my experience aboard the Mimic. This is, of course, a budget option - as such, don't expect any luxuries. But: It is comfy, the food is great, and the diving is just what I've come to love about Komodo National Park - absolutely spectacular! Dolin was guiding us in the water and did a great job both at making sure everyone is safe and spotting cool stuff for us. Till we meet again! <3Posted on Paulo AraújoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The boat trip was the highlight of our trip and it still exceeded our expectations. The accomodations were great, the food was amazing, and we saw incredible marine life snorkeling through various areas (I expected them to be crowded, but we were basically alone in all of them). Finally have to mention the incredible staff that made the trip even more enjoyable, with specially mention to both our snorkeling guide who acompanied us, and our instructor Mario who was extremely knowledgeable, kind and funny throughout the whole trip. I can't recommend Wunderpus enough and I really want to return again for diving :DPosted on Céline R.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly timeless experience aboard the Mimic Wunderpus: the Komodo Islands are like a dream come true, and Dolin, Bastian, and the entire crew made it possible. Their number one priority is safety, and you can trust them to accurately assess weather and sea conditions and recommend the best spots to dive and snorkel based on the weather, currents, and the presence of other boats. Despite the tough and changing conditions in Komodo (tides, currents), we never felt unsafe. Don't be misled if the crew changes the itinerary, for example, or doesn't take you to touristy spots: it's solely for your safety and the best possible experience! Comfort on the Mimic is basic (you sleep on the covered deck, up to six people, and there isn't a proper bathroom, but rather a toilet/shower with room-temperature water), but that doesn't matter because the most important are the diving and snorkeling experiences, and the stunning scenery. Plus, as all the other reviews mention, the food is fabulous!! In short, we recommend it 100% and hope to sail with Wunderpus again one day.Posted on NachtergrachtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A huge thank the whole Wunderpus crew for the unforgettable liveaboard trip! The Komodo dive sites were absolute magic and everything ran so smoothly, it really felt like nothing was ever too much. Special love to our dive guide Sarah! Her calm and expert guidance made us fall in love with diving all over again 💛 The whole crew was incredible. From whatsapping with Ed to do the (very very last minute 😅) booking to the wildly detailed dive site drawings of Alice to the taxi drivers that took us to from and to the hotel on the first and last day, it all was so professional! Our first liveaboard… definitely not the last! Until next time! 🤿🐙🐠🐡⚓️Posted on CindyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an incredible trip with Wunderpus! The boat was amazing, super nice rooms, private bathroom, nice dining table und different chill areas. The team was absolutely amazing! Thanks to Sarah and Alice, our cruise directors, and the whole team, I had a super great time. Everyone was so super friendly, attentive and helpful, everything was well organised and the dive sites were carefully selected to have the best experience, variety and apart from tourist spots. The food was absolutely great as well and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Thanks
