Our experience cruising on the Katharina: Birds of Paradise, Whale Sharks and so much more!

There were so many highlights! For us seeing the birds of paradise and whale sharks up close were standouts, but the whole experience of learning about the history, biology and culture of that part of Indonesia will remain with us for the rest of our lives. In particular, learning more about Alfred Wallace (who co-authored the Theory of Evolution with Charles Darwin) and the Wallace Line while visiting the same areas that he did a century and half earlier was amazing.

Recommended for

The friendliness of the guide and crew. Snorkeling in healthy coral reef ecosystems while surrounded by amazing island scenery. The cultural experiences in the villages.
