Waka Louka, we went three years ago, and unless it has changed a lot, you aren't with so many people it's true, but what people. We felt like it was a Salvador Dali surealism trip. The staff are just out to enjoy themselves, but nobody else does. On board there was nothing but highly priced drinks and crisps, there were really peculiar people on board, (we were probably some of them on reflection!) The sails were never put up, they said that they were broken, (at the very least, check that this is not still the case).
It has to be said though once we were there (Nusa Lembongan) the food was marvellous, but I don't think that it made up for the odd company on the journey. You get the impression that it is quite difficult to fill up the Waka Louka, and therefore they push people into doing it who would not normally have gone! If anybody had a supreme day out on the Waka Louka, I apologise to you for being nasty about it, maybe you're right and we are wrong, but I speak as I find.
Nusa Lembongan itself is fascinating, the sea-weed farming, the underground house, the snorkelling, and if you are there even longer than the day, I'm told it is great.
