Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Crew Works So Hard to Give Perfect Trip. We had a wonderful time on the Adelaar—the boat, crew, dives, and food were all fantastic. Our Bali to Komodo itinerary got disrupted because of extremely bad (unseasonal) weather that was beyond the control of the boat. The dive masters worked around the clock to find suitable dive sites in the locations were we got stuck because of the storms. They were calling dive shops to find the best locations and spending tons of time to make our trip still memorable, and it was excellent. The food was superb, the outdoor seating area is really nice, and the crew is so friendly. We plan on coming back, and highly recommend the boat!”
Recommended for: Crew, food, boat.
