 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The boat was lovely and spacious as there were only fourteen of us instead of twenty one. Staff friendly, efficient and very helpful. Nice variety of food throughout the trip. Good dive sites with lots of sharks, rays and the usual suspects. Slightly spoiled by people not adhering to the underwater rules....

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent a week on the Adora boat! It was spectacular! The service is immaculate, the food is really good and tasty, the crew is just going beyond of their duty every time. Such kind, helpful & professional people making you feel comfortable & taken care of. The cruise manager Jessica literally rocks, she’s an amazing instructor & dive guide. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The trip on Adora with Moon Tours could not have been better. All expectations exceeded! The food was amazing, it was very well planned (also for us non-surfers) and the crew were excellent! I can highly recommend the Adora and the Sup Tour.

Accomodation was fantastic with big rooms and full ensuite.  Great fishing as well.  Naanu was a great surf guide. We had 12 on the boat and had the best holiday.
