Highly recommend this vessel and the trip, the diving was exceptional and the crew went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect

★ 5 · Faye Watson · 2019-06-18

What an unbelievable experience! My partner and I have just spent 4 nights on Moana at the beginning of our Indonesian trip. Mario and the crew made us feel at home from the minute we stepped on the boat. Safety and equipment is number 1 for them and we always felt safe and looked after. We both completed our Advanced PADI diver course on board too (obviously extra £) which was a huge bonus. Food was amazing and we will definitely be back again. Thank you to Mario and the team for looking after us so well and giving us an experience we will never forget.
