Boat vacation rentals in Australasia

A fantastic trip off the beaten path - incredible beaches without the Maldives price tag! Captain Aries and his crew make an effort to show you the best of the islands and cook delicious Indonesian food. The boat has been built in Indonesia and is homely and comfortable, with plenty of space on deck for sunbathing! Air conditioning and fans indoors ensure a good night's sleep and the guys have invested in a decent sound system! Things to bring with you aside from the obvious swimwear, sunscreen etc: Rash vests / shorts for snorkeling Dry bag Refillable water bottle (water is provided in large containers) Hat Insect repellent Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience some of the untouched beauty of Indonesia.

Absolutely outstanding stay. Everything is as pictured and Melissa went above and beyond to make me comfortable. She had the heater on for my arrival and sent a message each day to check if I needed anything. Lovely and quiet location. Lots of fish. I can’t recommend River Wren enough.

Since we saw Alan, our guide, showing up at the airport with his enthusiasm and brilliant personality, we knew we had been right. The boat is great and the experience of sleeping on the Sekonyer River is amazing. The crew is polite and discreet, our wonderful chef. We didn't know what to expect from this trip and it seemed like a 10. They take care of every detail and feel immersed in a luxury experience. It's awesome to see the orangutans as well as navigate the river and let the guide go looking for animals. We can't help but recommend it.

The boat is very essential but it has everything is needed. You sleep in a tiny cell in the middle of the boat. Our guide, Yos, was very nice and it has been a pleasure to deal with him during our 2 days trip. the Komodo park is big, so a lot of time is spent on transfers. Having a nice guide is more important than you think... Also the rest of the crew was great, they made us feel welcome and safe. The food they prepared us was very good and various, from breakfast to dinner. The trip in Komodo is fantastic, snorkeling is amazing in almost every island there. So you'll be good no matter what they propose you. Overall a great experience!

We had an amazing time at the F1 and staying on Dean and Pam's boat absolutely made it. Very special place and wpuld highly recommend staying here for anyone travelling to Melbourne.

Gary was welcoming , friendly , incredibly responsive and helpful, he even allowed us to have a late checkout without having to pay anything extra. Thanks a lot for everything !
