What our customer says about this tour
This was recommended by friend of mine who took the same tour in the previous holiday. We were happy with the accommodation and service onboard. The diving was excellent, snorkeling at the beautiful pink beach, seeing manta ray, etc. We will try another world class diving in Raja Ampat next holiday.
