Magnificent Komodo cruise and unforgettable memories thanks to Nicolas and the entire Wallacea team from MSY Seahorse. A big terima kasih to you!!! It was great, from the reception until the departure on the last day for the airport. Super organization and continuous adaptation of the schedule according to the conditions to make the most of the diving sites and activities. As a result, our whole group enjoyed macro diving, turtles, mantas, mobulas, sharks, tropical fish, drop-offs and gardens of rich and colorful corals,... The other activities were also very nice (walks to enjoy magnificent landscapes of the Indonesian islands, visit to the dragons, dinner under the stars, waterfall,…☺️) The team was always attentive, on and under the water, always smiling and wanting to please us. Meals, a moment of delight with varied and balanced cuisine taking into account everyone's requirements. Andy’s massages, a regenerating break! The boat, on a human scale, where you quickly feel at home. So, no choice, it was really wonderful Indonesia,..so thank you again for these unforgettable moments and I hope to see you again next year for a new cruise ☺️
