Great boat! I love the original, teak wood style of the boat mixed with the modern atmosphere. This boat is a masterpiece and very comfortable but most importantly, the Komodo dive cruise they offer is extraordinary.
The marine fauna and flora are exquisite, with so much colorful fishes and corals and then mantas and sharks… amazing! I had a blast!
Also, more dive boats should offer single cabin… at NO extra charge… it worked so well for me on the Lady Denok and I teamed up with the other single to have a dive buddy. That sure is a great feature as on lots of other boats I pay a lot more to have the privacy of my own cabin.
100% Recommended !
Just returned from a 6-day trip aboard the Lady Denok through Komodo National Park – AMAZING! Got lucky with a really great group of people and superb dive conditions but the experience onboard could not have been better. Incredibly attentive and friendly crew – we came up from every dive to towels and a hot cup of ginger tea or fresh juice. We didn’t have to lift a finger as all of our gear was assembled and loaded on and off the dive boat – we were totally spoiled. Cabins were cleaned daily and plenty of delicious and freshly prepared food. The chef was even kind enough to take special requests for local food that we really liked. The dive guides were great, putting us in small, well-suited groups (max 4 divers per guide). Really enjoyed this experience and would not hesitate to return or recommend!
