Testimonials from Our Adventurers
Loved Nemo II so much six years ago that we went back this year to do both routes (2 weeks). Even though they often use the engine to get to the next island to maximise time with wildlife, it really is a sailing experience...
We cruised on NEMO II for 5 days and would recommend to all interested. The crew was amazing, from panga drivers, to our naturalist/guide, to our chef, we received excellent service, meals, juices, snacks throughout
