Two companies, the same trip
Both companies offer the same program and service in a similar boat. The only real difference is their communication skills and clarity of organisation. And also the price.
Kareem The Explorer · the most reliable
from 3,700,000 IDR
Kareem travels with boats that have the capacity for 30 to 40 people, depending on the size of the boat. All the boats have a simple fresh water shower, although a dip in the ocean is preferred by most guests.
They cannot always know beforehand which boat will sail: it depends on which boat is where and on the number of guests. Sometimes they sail with two or more boats at the same time.
All the boats are equipped with lifejackets and lifeboats for your safety in the unlikely event of an emergency. Joining the boat trip is still at your own risk.
