”Highlight of my Bali Experience. I spent 2 weeks traveling around Bali, and my time on Tiger Blue was the highlight. From the moment I stepped onto the boat, I was catered to and attended to by the staff members. My room was clean and cozy and they even did my laundry while on board. We had a gourmet chef on board who would whip up delicious treats for us anytime we asked. I would definitely stay on Tiger Blue again.” Recommended for: 5-star service. Great diving experience.
