DESCRIPTION

Sunshine Liveaboard, a traditional Indonesian Phinisi, offers intimate cruising experiences for a maximum of eight guests across the exotic locales of Sulawesi, Halmahera, and Togian. With an accommodation setup comprising a mixture of Double and Twin cabins, each equipped with private ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning, the Sunshine ensures a comfortable and personal journey. The vessel’s indoor lounge is air-conditioned and equipped with ample power points for charging electronics, while outdoor relaxation spaces feature comfortable mattresses and bean bags for unwinding in the sea breeze.

On the dive deck, Sunshine Liveaboard boasts a spacious and well-organized area, designed to provide each diver with personal space for gearing up and storing equipment. A notable diving policy on board is the mandatory use of Nitrox, available for an additional charge, with pre-booked certification courses offered for those not yet certified. Operating in some of the most remote diving destinations, Sunshine Liveaboard advises guests to arrive a day before departure to avoid any travel delays or problems, ensuring a seamless start to their adventure.

Crew was excellent. Diving wonderful but giving 8 just because it’s Indo and, while N Sulawesi is amazing, it’s nothing like Raja, Komodo, or even South Sulawesi. The food was really good but could have have greater variety. We are a lot of the same stuff. Absolutely loved the boat. Value I would give 15 out of 10. Excellent experience, amazing boat and incredible diving for a VERY good price.

Anyone with advanced cert, 60+ dives, especially for those while amazing walls. Great for macro too.
