Customer Review
”Great experience! The diving was amazing. We had a great instructor who knew the area perfectly and guided us through the strong currents in a very professional way. We saw a variety of creatures from huge manta rays to the tiny pygmy seahorse. The trip is planned very well and the last day of the trip is the one you trek in Rinca island to see the komodo dragons. Between the dives or at evening we enjoyed the kayaks that on board to explore even more the area. The crew of the boat is super nice and helpful, the food is amazing! We highly recommend the Cahaya Bersama and can’t wait for our next trip with them. Recommended for1. Crew was wonderful. 2.Diving was amazing 3. Food was very tasty.
