The trip was very well organized and perfect, only the ship is already in need of renovation!
I liked the trip very much, because it is not so crowded yet!The highlight was the sighting of a irrigation channel!

Wonderful trip
Wonderful reefs and countless fish. We sailed and dived practically alone for 12 days in these seas.I want to emphasize that 5 months ago I ruptured my Achilles tendon diving in Cozumel, but despite this and thanks to the help of the KLM SUNSHINE crew I was able to dive comfortably these 12 days.

The tour of the boat, the good vibes of the crew and the cook on board who turned out to be excellent

Halmahera - Macro Paradise for Photographers!
Fantastic trip. Lots of macro critters to photograph. Our dive guide found so many pygmy seahorses I lost count. Seas were rough but captain and crew did a great job to manage the situation. Highly recommend this boat and crew!
