UNBELIEVABLE!
This cruise aboard the Princess Dhonkamana was one of our most beautiful experiences thanks to the whole crew. They are kind, helpful, and do everything to make you feel good. Thanks to Martina, who was our guide. Fortunately she spoke French and always took the time to brief us. We felt confident and well supported thanks to her. In addition, he is a smiling, very friendly and passionate person. The food was just amazing, varied, the only downside is... that you will gain 3kg! Congratulations to the cooks, whether it was savory or sweet it was extremely good!The small stops on the deserted beaches were very popular as well as on the local islands to buy souvenirs. The dives were superb and above all varied. We were able to live several experiences that will remain engraved in our memory.In summary... We were afraid to embark on our first cruise, and finally we are already ready to leave! Thank you all, you have contributed to this wonderful memory.Special mention to Marion working at Liveabord who made this stay possible and who was very kind in following up on our file.

Perfect liveaboard trip.

Perfect trip every time with the mantas, turtles, and whale sharks!
I am so grateful for my experience on the Macana boats. This was my fifth time, and I could not be happier. The food, the staff, and the beautiful sea life make my heart happy. I truly love experiencing the manta rays, turtles, and whale sharks each time I come. I highly recommend every single time!
