Mid range and luxury boats offer even more variety, with full board dining that includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks between activities. Breakfast often includes eggs, pancakes, fruit, and toast, while lunches and dinners feature seafood, curries, soups, and classic Indonesian comfort food. Vegetarian options are easy to arrange, and the crew is happy to adapt meals when possible. Boats like Elrora are known for serving generous portions and beautifully presented dishes.
Snacks and treats are also part of the Komodo experience. Between snorkelling sessions or hikes, guests are usually greeted with fresh fruit, tea, coffee, and light snacks to help recharge for the next activity. Sunset appetizers on the deck are common, and they pair perfectly with the view over the calm evening water.
