KELOR ISLAND
Ancient sailors called it "The Guardian." Dutch colonials built watchtowers on its crown. Local legend says it's a giant sea turtle turned to stone. A 20-minute climb rewards you with 360° views of dragon territories. The coral gardens below hide patrolling sea turtles in crystal shallows.
MANJERITE
Every sunset, tens of thousands of flying foxes launch from mangroves, creating a black river across orange skies. Ancient sea nomads believed these bats carried souls to the afterlife. Watch from your deck at 17:30. The sky will erupt. You'll forget to breathe.
PADAR ISLAND
Three crescent bays—turquoise, cobalt, jade—curve around dragon-spine ridges. Legend says a dragon princess died here protecting her brothers. Her body became the ridgeline. Her tears became three seas. The 30-minute climb is ruthless, but every explorer says: "I can die now."
PINK BEACH
One of only seven pink beaches on Earth. Microscopic red coral creates a rose-gold blush. Sailors once feared it was cursed by dragon blood. The reef drops from knee-deep to 50 meters—turtles, reef sharks, and octopi patrol waters so clear you'll think you're dreaming.
KOMODO ISLAND
Ground zero. The throne. Komodo dragons—largest lizards on Earth, unchanged for 4 million years. They sprint 20 km/h, kill with venom-laced bites. Trek with armed rangers. Watch them sun like kings. Feel evolution stare back. This isn't a zoo. It's their Kingdom
TAKA MAKASSAR
A sandbar that emerges at low tide, then disappears beneath waves. Sea nomads called it "Ghost Island"—a resting place for ocean spirits. Stand in the middle of the ocean with ankle-deep water. Snorkel where the island vanishes. Your private Maldives, but only for 2 hours.
MANTA POINT
A submerged pinnacle where currents collide, creating a cleaning station for manta rays with 7-meter wingspans. Divers call them "Royal Stingrays"—reincarnated ocean kings. The taboo: look, never touch. Watch them barrel-roll beneath you. Swimming with mantas IS your bucket list.
GILI LAWA
Twin islands—Lawa Darat and Lawa Laut—frame the golden highway between sky and sea. Ancient traders navigated by these peaks. At sunrise, watch the world ignite from savannah ridges. At sunset, the sky bleeds into three shades of fire. The 30-minute trek is steep, but the 360° view makes kings jealous.
SLABA ISLAND
Slaba rises like a fortress from deep blue—a volcanic dome crowned with savannah where white-bellied sea eagles hunt. Bajo fishermen call it "Pulau Rajawali" (Eagle Island), believing the birds are guardians of hidden treasures below. Dive the walls where currents deliver big fish, sharks, and swirling barracuda. Above: eagles. Below: an underwater avalanche of life.
SEBAYUR ISLAND
Sebayur guards one of Komodo's best-kept secrets: untouched coral gardens teeming with life. While others chase dragons, divers chase legends here—pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefishes, and macro critters hiding in soft coral forests. The bay is a natural aquarium. The hillside trek offers sunrise views without the Padar crowds.
KANAWA ISLAND
While crowds chase Pink Beach, explorers slip to Kanawa—pristine coral reefs, zero crowds. Fishermen once avoided it, believing the Sea Goddess protected these waters. The reef here is 80% live coral. Turtles nest on beaches. Blacktip sharks patrol shallows. This is the Komodo nobody talks about.
SABOLO ISLAND (RANGKO CAVE)
Hidden in Sabolo's limestone cliffs lies Rangko Cave—a saltwater cavern illuminated by a ceiling skylight. Sunbeams pierce the darkness, turning water neon blue. Local legend says bathing here grants courage to face dragons. Swim through the entrance tunnel. Surface inside the cathedral. Float in liquid sapphire while light dances on ancient rock.
BIDADARI ISLAND
Bidadari" means angel in Indonesian. One glance explains why. Powdery white sand. Turquoise shallows. Zero crowds. Fishermen say angels rest here between monsoons, leaving footprints in the sand that waves erase by dawn. Snorkel the fringing reef where baby blacktips patrol. This is your castaway fantasy—pristine, peaceful, perfect.

Our wellness retreat aboard the Cirox 2 Phinisi was less about indulgence, more about alignment. Mornings began with yoga on the foredeck as we drifted near Padar Island, its tri-colored sands glowing in the early light. The itinerary allowed deep stillness—snorkeling off Kanawa post-meditation, then floating in silence, listening only to breath and water. The boat’s design supports this rhythm: open spaces, natural materials, and minimal ambient noise. Our group of eight appreciated the quiet corners for journaling or reading. Nutrition was carefully managed—plant-forward, hydrating, with local citrus and coconut water always available. The Master Suite’s king bed faced sliding glass doors opening to the sea—waking to that vista reset the nervous system daily. Slight critique: the sound insulation between cabins could be improved, but that’s minor. This wasn’t escape—it was recalibration.

हमारी टीम के लिए Cirox 2 Phinisi पर 4-डे कॉर्पोरेट रिट्रीट एकदम सही चुनाव था। 23 गेस्ट्स के लिए प्लेंटी स्पेस था, और Master Suite में मेरा प्राइवेट मीटिंग कॉर्नर काफी प्रोडक्टिव वर्कशॉप्स के लिए इस्तेमाल हुआ। हमने Taka Makassar पर सुबह की मीटिंग के बाद स्नॉर्कलिंग किया — वहां के रंगीन कोरल्स ने पूरी टीम को इंस्पायर किया। Kalong Island के पास शाम को ड्रोन शॉट लेना एक मेमोरेबल मोमेंट था, जब लाखों चमगादड़ जंगल से उड़ रहे थे। फूड करंट था — रात का बीच डिनर Pink Beach पर सेटअप किया गया था, और लाइव ग्रिल स्टेशन ने सबको इम्प्रेस किया। एक छोटी सी बात — वाई-फाई थोड़ा स्पॉटी था, लेकिन यहां तक कि यह भी हमें ऑफ-ग्रिड फील कराता था। स्टाफ ने हर डिटेल पर ध्यान दिया, खासकर मेरे लिए डाइटरी प्रेफरेंस को नोट करने में। हम अगले साल वापस आ रहे हैं, शायद 5 डेज के लिए।

We chose the Cirox 2 Phinisi for our honeymoon with little expectation of how deeply it would recalibrate our sense of time. At Sebayur Island, where we snorkelled through glassy channels flanked by black coral, the silence between breaths became part of the experience. The Standard Cabin, though modestly named, felt spacious and serene, with hand-carved doors that filtered the afternoon breeze. What surprised me most was the staff’s intuition—they brought chilled lemongrass tea exactly when the heat peaked, never intrusive. One night, anchored near Long Beach, they set up a private dinner on the foredeck. The sandbar stretched like a silver scar under the moon. My only wish? Another night at Wae Rebo to truly absorb the highland mist rolling down the cliffs. Still, the balance between solitude and discovery was impeccable.

带父母和孩子三代同游,最担心舒适度,但Cirox 2 Phinisi完全超出预期。2024年新船的空调系统极为安静,Standard Cabin的隔音很好,孩子深夜也没被引擎声吵醒。停靠Manjarite时,浅水区适合孩子第一次浮潜,crew全程陪护。父母最爱Gili Lawa的傍晚,坐在船尾看火山剪影,船医还为他们调制了姜黄蜂蜜饮。餐饮很贴心,既有西式选项,也有印尼炒面和清蒸鱼。唯一的小遗憾是缺乏儿童活动手册,不然能更沉浸。但无人机航拍时,全家在甲板欢呼——画面里小船像漂在翡翠上。Cirox 2 Phinisi的crew懂分寸,服务存在感低但响应极快。下次想试试更长itinerary。

Buscaba una escapada íntima con mi pareja antes del nacimiento de nuestro primer hijo. El Cirox 2 Phinisi ofrecía ese balance entre confort y autenticidad que tanto valoramos. Desde el primer briefing, noté el profesionalismo del crew – discreto, pero atento a cada detalle. La cabina Standard, aunque no es la Master Suite, tiene una cama king y ventilación cruzada que hace innecesario el aire acondicionado. Los días en Kanawa Island fueron los más relajantes: nadamos hasta agotar la batería del GoPro. Luego, en Kalong, el silencio del manglar al anochecer nos dejó sin palabras. El itinerario fue bien pensado, con tiempo para explorar sin prisa. Mi única observación: el menú repetía algunos platos. Pero el sabor compensó. El último amanecer en Pink Beach, con los colores del coral mezclándose con la arena, fue el cierre perfecto para este babymoon. Regresamos más centrados, más unidos.

Levei minha equipe de liderança para um corporate retreat focado em estratégia. O Cirox 2 Phinisi tem um meeting area com sombras naturais e boa acústica. Passamos manhãs em reuniões produtivas e tardes em atividades como snorkeling em Bidadari Beach e trekking em Padar Island. Em Gili Lawa, vimos tubarões-cinzentos — um símbolo de coragem, segundo o guia. O jantar no deck com menu de degustação foi o momento de integração. O barco é novo (2024), então tudo funciona perfeitamente: desde o sistema de dessalinização até o gerador silencioso. A única crítica: os docks flutuantes são um pouco instáveis para quem tem dificuldade de locomoção. Mas a equipe ajuda com segurança. O sunset em Long Beach foi usado para um exercício de gratidão — inesquecível. Voltaremos no próximo ano.

رحلة مع الأصدقاء في Cirox 2 Phinisi كانت مزيجًا مثاليًا من المغامرة والراحة. من اليوم الأول، شعرنا بالفخامة — من الـ welcome drink إلى التفاصيل في ديكور المقصورات. زرنا بادار آيلاند و登نا التل الشهير للحصول على الـ panoramic view. الـ drone shot الذي التقطه الطاقم كان professional جدًا. ثم انتقلنا إلى لوه ليانغ، حيث شاهدنا الكومودو دراجون من قرب — تجربة مخيفة لكنها مذهلة. المقصورة التي شاركتها مع صديقي كانت نظيفة، لكن الصوت من الـ engine كان مسموعًا في الليل قليلًا. الطاقم سريع جدًا في التصرف عند الطلب. العشاء كان متنوعًا، مع خيارات عربية متواضعة لكن لائقة. أتمنى لو أن الـ itinerary تضمن واي ريبو — سمعنا عنها الكثير، لكنها لم تكن ضمن الرحلة. رغم ذلك، كل شيء آخر كان بمستوى عالٍ جدًا.

سافرت مع زوجتي وطفليين (8 و12 سنة) على متن Cirox 2 Phinisi. الـ yacht كانت نظيفة، آمنة، وذات مساحة كافية للحركة. الماستر سويت كانت واسعة، مع حمام كبير. زرنا مانجاريت، حيث تفاعل الأطفال مع السكان وشاهدوا صناعة النسيج. ثم توقفنا في لونغ بيتش، حيث بنينا قلاع رملية وسبحنا بأمان. الـ staff قدم ألعابًا مائية صغيرة، لكن الـ snorkeling gear للأطفال كان قديمًا بعض الشيء. الطعام كان ممتازًا، مع خيارات متنوعة. في بادار، صعُب登 التل على الطفل الأصغر، لكن الطاقم ساعده بعناية. أتمنى لو أن الـ itinerary تضمن واي ريبو، لكن الوقت كان محدودًا. بشكل عام، كانت تجربة متكاملة، وسأكررها مع إضافة يوم إضافي.

I chartered the Cirox 2 Phinisi for a corporate retreat with six partners. We needed space to disconnect and reconnect—both from the market and each other. The vessel delivered. Days began with yoga on the foredeck, then briefings over turmeric lattes before excursions to Kanawa Island for snorkelling over coral gardens. The onboard meeting lounge, with its quiet fans and shaded teak benching, made strategy sessions feel more like contemplation. My only critique? The afternoon breeze on Padar Island made the drone footage shaky, but that’s hardly the yacht’s fault. What impressed me most was the crew’s discretion—present without hovering. By the final evening, we’d drafted a new division roadmap under the stars, the sound of the hull gently rocking. Rare to find a setting that fosters both clarity and calm.
