Add to bucket list of tours while in Labuan Bajo…lovely half day. - Wonderful half day trip. I inadvertently double booked my tours and tried to reschedule this one with Agoda for the next day. They were very unhelpful. I contacted Alba tours and they sorted out a change of day without hesitation for which I was very appreciative . The day started with the walk up the hill which took about 10 min. You definitely need good grip shoes as it’s rocky and gravelly but worth getting to the top for lovely views of the bay. The 20 min car ride to the next stop consisted of many road curves and the driver had to navigate around large trucks delivering food and building materials in the area. There looks like there is a delivery depot there. Our second stop was the snorkeling trip where we arrived at a little boat village and was motored to a special place full of corals and colourful tiny fish. It was very relaxing, the water seemed quite salty so it was easy to float and there was no current unlike the all day kimono island and snorkel tour which we did the day before. Here, no flippers were needed and it was a joy to swim . Next we motored around the corner, moored at the beach where there was a few huts and walked along a path for 5 min until we reached the cave. Even though the sun was shining it was very dark and the stone steps leading down to the water were a challenge. Care must be taken when descending. The experience was quite novel but perhaps a few lanterns or a bit of lighting would make it extra special. After getting back to the first boating village , we were driven back to our hotels. The driver was great! The tour company was caring.

Must do. - Staff at the hotel recommended this trip and so happy we went . Not a long drive to Rango village . Short ride on wooden boat through crystal clear water and past beautiful green hills has you arriving at a small white sand beach . Just a short walk to the cave entry . Little tricky from here if you are not steady on your feet . Once in the water wow. Just incredible . Crystal clear and deceivingly deep. Great experience . Swim at the beach after before heading back. Just beautiful .

Great trip to Rangko Cave with snorkeling and sunset walk - Great experience visiting Rangko cave. We did the afternoon tour and the water was beautifully turquoise. The boat is a local boat so be ready for the loud noise of the engine, but we loved the more authentic travel experience. Snorkeling is on your own, which we enjoyed the independence. We only had one other couple on the boat, so it was wonderful.

A good way to start your morning - Lovely excursion to a quiet reef and cave. No information really about the areas. Kind people and beautiful scenery

Rangko cave and snorkelling experience. - First stop was at Sylvia hills for some photo and views of the blue ocean. Next was off to the boat Rangko village where the boat will Bring you out to a snorkeling spot, not bad some nice clear water and all reef. 3) Went to Rangko cave, salt water cave that are connect to the ocean nearby. Overall it was fun and the guy can speak good English, that helps when you have any questions.

Average - Trip was very average. Pick up was a good 20 minutes over the arranged time. We were driven about 15 minutes from our hotel to a place to catch the small boat. Driver was silent and did not give any information on how day was going to be. Small info on the boat with other guides. The short track to the cave is fine and it's sad to see so much rubbish all over the area. We got to the cave probably 5-10 minutes before it got dark. It was full. Pleasant quick swim but too crowded to be more enjoyable. From there we had a stop for snorkelling which it was nice. Beautiful corals and fish life. Got back to the fishermen village and we were driven to a sunset spot ( which I didn't remember we had and was again not told by the silent driver ) Driver drops you off on the hill and you off. Beautiful sunset from the top of the hill. In summary trip felt a bit impersonal - not much communication from the start and for the cave swim I would give it a miss if you have swan or visit a cave in another place. Plenty of other day trips with great snorkelling and sunset can be enjoyed from many other places ( for free )

Keep your promise. - They picked me up on time in a very comfortable car at the hotel and returned me to it. They don't explain much from the start. Then they take you to one of the villages of Rangko where you take a boat in regular conditions, operated by local boys. One of them speaks English. To enter Rangko Cave you walk a path through the forest and you reach the cave, where you can bathe. However, they left me only 20 minutes and not the indicated time. Bathing in the cave pool is very rich. It's a cave of stalactites and stalagmites. Then we took the boat and went snorkeling. It's nice, but the guides don't help, or explain anything. We returned to the village of Rangko and took the good car, which took us to a place of a Lookout. I couldn't go to the highest point because I didn't wear tennis, it's not suitable for sandals. We came back and they took me to the hotel. I tipped the boat boy, but the car boy didn't. I suggest wearing tennis and sandals, plus the bathing dress and towel. It would be good if the guides were more trained and could give information about the cave and its geological formation and the variety of corals and fish in the area. I suggest wearing tennis and sandals.

Crowded and dirty - Overcrowded cave, rocky steps covered with dirt, questionable safety of the boat. Do not recommend. Snorkeling was welcomed additional activity. Thank you.

Worst trip I’ve ever experienced - The tour was poor from the time we were picked up and I would never recommend anyone to book this trip. After introducing myself to the driver who picked us up from our hotel he didn’t even introduce himself or speak the entire 30 minute trip to the boat. I’m 67 years old and I wasn’t informed how the access into the cave was so difficult. As for the return to the boat harbour the boat couldn’t take us into shore so we had to climb off the boat and walk through slippery and slimey thick mud that was like quicksand. My husband slipped and dropped his clothes into the water which included his phone which is now not working. Due to the disappointment of the experience we asked to be dropped off to our hotel rather than see the sunset as we wanted to wash the mud that covered us

Rangko Cave and Snorkelling - Very sadly all the corals were dead and it was just a grey mass underwater. The boat engine was beyond loud and no one could have a conversation while the engine was on and it smelled of kerosene . The Rangko cave was small and nothing special.
