Toti Toti Fabulous Marsy and his team took myself on a 6-day tour of Flores Island. What a memorial trip not only for the beautiful National Park and scenery throughout Flores but more so because of the people and it’s culture I discovered in the small towns and villages. Professional and accommodating to my every need, Flores Fabulous Tours exceeded my expectations. I wish Marsy and his team every success in being sustainable tourism to the other parts of Flores in the near future other than Labuan Bajo. Note for those planning a visit to Flores - Most come to Flores for the National Park, diving, overnight boat trips(4 days), do yourself a favour and add an extra day or 3 , and explore the wonders, culture and people of this fabulous island.

As royals in Komodo National Park At arrival at Labuan Bajo, my family (girlfriend and son of 2 years old) booked a 2 night 3 day tour through whatsapp with Marsi. He immediately agreed to meet at our hostel to discuss the tour and show pictures of the boat. He said everything was included in the price: food, non alcoholic drinks, entrances to Komodo National Park, snorkeling equipment, etc...At a very reasonable price! And this was absolutely TRUE! Marsi and his crew treated us like royals! They picked us up at our hostel in the morning, accompanied us to the shop so we could by some alcoholic drinks (a cold beer while watching the sunset at Komodo National Park is a must!) and drove us to the boat. The boat was very clean, food was delicious and the crew was just amazing. At the end of our three days they felt like family. Marsi is an excellent guide, fluent in English and trustworthy. I really don't understand why he gets two awful reviews. Maybe along the way there was some miscommunication. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends!

As the name suggests: just fabulous! We are a family of four (two teens) visiting Komodo National Park per boat four days and four nights. We had found Marsi and his business via the internet and had read the very good reviews. The trip was easily booked per WhatsApp: Marsi offered two different boats and two different formats, that we discussed and adjusted to our liking. We choose four days and three nights and had asked if we could stay one extra night on the boat in the port (which we were allowed to). At the starting day, Marsi picked us up at the airport and we immediately knew we were in good hands: after trying on the snorkelling gear, we went to the boat. There was a very nice crew of four, staying aboard for the whole tour. These men deserve a mentioning of their own as they were extremely helpful, friendly and nice to our kids. Food was healthy and tasteful, too. On the first day, we went to turtle beach, manta point and snorkelling (especially the swimming with manta rays is something we will never ever forget - such majestic animals and so many of them visiting us over and over again). The teens enjoyed canoeing the bays. The next day, we watched the dragons, went to pink beach and climbed Padar island for a spectacular view on a white, a pink and a black sanded bay. On day three snorkelling again, incredible amounts of tropical fish - lion fish, clown fish, butterfly fish and many others - in all colours you can imagine and brilliant corals. And just when we thought we had seen it all: the fruit bats flying from the mangroves - amazing us again. On day four, we sighted dolphins feeding and went snorkelling in three different reefs again. All the time we were guided by the wonderful Marsi: knowledgeable, fun and a great friend to our youngest, exploring all the islands, bays and mangroves. Thank you Marsi: we had a truely fabulous tour!

Amazing trip! We had an amazing 2 day/1 night trip with Marsy through the islands around Komodo National Park. I contacted him after reading positive reviews and booked a trip. From the moment he picked us up at the airport to the time we left, we had a wonderful experience with him. I would 100% recommend both a trip to Komodo National Park and doing it with Marsy!

Amazing tour We have just come off a 2D/1N tour and all I can say was it was amazing. Fe our initial contact when we booked through a third party online, we found contact easy. Marsy met us at our hotel the night before we set sail and went through all the general info with us and made it clear, as it was just the four of us, we were able to adapt the your if we wanted to. Snorkelling gear was provided and we gave him shoe sizes and flippers were tried on before we set sail to make sure everything fit. On the first day we did 3 rounds of snorkelling and visited link beach with the chance to snorkel more and use the canoe if we so wished. We saw manta rays and turtle, Marsy told us he couldn't guarantee anything but we were lucky and saw plenty of both. He took amazing videos and photos with our GoPro as he has a lot of diving experience and could do better than we ever could. On the second day with visited Komodo, Padar and Rinca island. Had lively views on Padar (be warmed it is a lot of stairs) and saw plenty of dragons on the other islands. The crew were all lovely, food was great and plenty of it. We were well taken care of, felt safe at all times and Marsy explained everything so we knew exactly what was going on. Everything was included in the price except for tips (Rp50,000 for the Komodo and Rinca guides) and anything extra you want to give the crew. We would recommend this to anyone thinking of going to Labuan Bajo and will be talking about this holiday for years to come.

Komodo Dragons & so much more! My brother & I have just spent an amazing 3 days(2 nights) on a Flores Fabulous Tour. Marsey our young guide was the best guide ever, not only was he a font of all knowledge, but an amazing chef, photographer and he had a beautiful heart! On our trip we snorkelled alongside turtles, manta rays, thousands of different tropical fish; we watched the fruit bats at Kalong leave the mangroves at sunset, which was an incredible sight; we walked alongside Komodo dragons on both Rinca & Komodo Islands; walked along Pink Beach; breakfasted alongside monkeys at sunrise; we walked up various hillsides to see incredible views; the food was fabulous too. All in all an absolutely fabulous trip!

Son unos timadores Despues de reservar con 4 meses de antelacion, al llegar a labuanbajo nos querian cobrar el doble diciendo que ya no quedaban barcos... era ultima hora de la tarde y ya no habia donde poder reservar nos decian. Despues de un rato de discuiones donde cada vez que aceptabamos nos ponian mas pegas y mas caro lo dimos por imposible con ellos. A la mañana siguiente bajamos pronto al puerto y pudimos contratar una excursion muy parecida por menos del precio inicial que nos habia dicho aqui... No aconsejo para nada tratar con ellos. Cero confianza, caro y todo el rato engañando.

Wonderful discovery of Flores Island I just came back from a 4 days trip around Flores Island with some friends. We found the agency on internet I contacted Marsy (the owner) by whatsapp and since the beginning I knew it was 100% trustable. We managed to organize the trip very easily before our arrival and he adapted the intinary to our needs and preferences. Marsy is an incredible host, he picked us all at the airport and made us discover this little piece of paradise in the best conditions. Very servible and attentive. We had a lot of fun together visiting the different spots, trekking around the island and playing cards with some beers after diner. I highly recommend this agency and I hope you can all enjoy the same experience as we did ! Thank you so much Marsy, you’re the best ! Best, Charlotte
