Indonesia was an absolute joy! The crew and the guides were fun and energetic the whole trip. The corals, Komodo Dragons, and swimming with the Whale Shark was an experience that will be cherished for a lifetime. Swimming with a whale shark has been on my bucket list for a long time and it did not disappoint! The ship was amazing and very comfortable and relaxing. The food was amazing! If you are looking for an adventure that will last a lifetime, go on this trip! Natural World Safaris is the best safari company there is. This is the 3rd safari that I have booked through them and every one has been so memorable that you can't pick one over the others.
