Pure relaxation!! Great dive sites with chilled boat atmosphere

The atmosphere on the boat immediately invites you to relax. The cabins are beautiful and offer enough space with en-suite bathrooms. The beds are very comfortable. The whole crew fits together well. Everyone is super friendly and helpful at all times. Special requests are catered for, especially since we were only with five guests on board. The service was outstanding. The dives were very nice and with the dive guides you feel in good hands even as a "rare diver", especially with the senior guide Frankie. Chef Akee spends wonders in the small kitchen. You get the full-service package! You only have to dress yourself, but even there you can get help if the neoprene doesn't want to do as it should. We can only recommend the Samambaia and will definitely be back. Thank you for the great 12 days! We already 😍 miss you

Our experience was phenomenal!

The highlights of the trip were the knowledge and attention of the dive guides. They turned every dive and every excursion into an adventure for the mind as well as the senses. Getting to see Komodo dragon and giant fruit bats soaring overhead are experiences that will last a lifetime. The atmosphere created on board by Gian Paolo, Serge, Frankie was familial and fun. Our experience was absolutely amazing.

The three best things about the trip were the dives, the dive guides and crew, the boat.

Superb experience with MV Samambaia in East Flores and Alor

I particularly liked the professionalism and friendliness of the crew (Serge, the dives director, Gian Paolo who built the ship and the Indonesian crew), the beautiful boat, the quality of the Italian food and the superb dives in remote places where it would otherwise be very difficult to go (south Alor, Pura, Rusa...). I strongly recommend this ship and will definitely be looking at the next cruises!
