to Komodo/Rinca. It was awful. The boat was underprepared, there weren't enough mattresses (or floor space) for all the passengers and the promised safety equipment was non-existent. Unfortunately we ran into a huge overnight storm and there were no life jackets or anything else life-saving. We spent the night constantly under water from huge waves in fear of being washed off the boat. All was fine the next day though everyone was terrified and the mattresses were soaked. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Since then I have been to Komodo several times organising the transport myself.
