What They Say About Our Tour Leaders?

“Anas and her exceptional crew aboard the Katharina are the true definition of professionalism and class, with a genuine talent for pampering their guests.”

“We were very well looked after by the Seatrek team lead by the amazing Dion and Dani.”

“The guides Dion and Narto led us to the most beautiful coral gardens and showed us new things time and again. Living creatures of indescribable color.”

“Tinae seemed to know exactly when and where to be at particular locations for us to get the maximum sightings. We had sightings galore – whale sharks, manta rays, turtles, even little nudibranchs and a beautiful array of stunning colourful corals and their inhabitants.”

“Amazing tour leaders – Anas kept everything smooth and organized, handled every need, had interesting presentations at the end of the day, and made the trip fun.”

“What an amazing trip! The boat, crew and Tinae did a fabulous job organising all our excursions and making sure we saw all that we wanted to on our trip. They are hugely knowledgeable and genuinely enjoy showing off their country and all it’s riches.”

“Our tour leader, Anastasia shared her enormous knowledge of the underwater world at numerous incredible snorkelling sites. Her guiding under the waves and daily evening presentations were fascinating. She had an incredible eye for detail, pointing out the tiny colourful creatures of the deep which would have passed us by if left to our own devices.”

“Dion and crew unfailingly and lovingly hosted a magical adventure in Paradise. They made every effort imaginable – and more – two ensure our comfort and delight.”

“Our guides Anastasia and Narto are personable, professional went above and beyond – particular thanks to Anastasia who worked overtime to circumvent a scheduling problem caused by flight timings (and her knowledge of sea-life is exemplary – she was pointing out tiny multicoloured nudibranchs on the sea floor that I never would have spotted).”

“The guides (especially Tinae) handled our endless questions about things like pros. They were well-informed, incredibly helpful, but also so fun to be with.”

“Our guide was Anas, and she was delightful. She held optional lectures every night on different topics, which were great.”

“The tour leaders are exceptional and go to great lengths to ensure all guests’ abilities and interests are catered for. Each evening they give a briefing on the next day’s program and a background history if appropriate. They join in with everything and appear to have as much fun as the guests.”

Great snorkeling, relaxing trip and the food was good. Anastasia was a great tour leader. Swimming with whale sharks was a highlight.

The guides (especially Tinae) handled our endless questions about things like pros. They were well-informed, incredibly helpful, but also so fun to be with. … Tinae also acted as the photographer and I just got the pictures she took, which was great because I have no other underwater photos.
