KLM Sunshine liveaboard is a cosy phinisi crafted in hardwood by the world-renowned master boat-builders in Sulawesi. This vessel offers some of Indonesia’s most adventurous liveaboard safaris in the best diving areas around Sulawesi and beyond, visiting remote regions such as Halmahera, the Togian and Sangihe Islands, and Bangka - plus expeditions into frontier diving destinations that only a handful of intrepid guests have seen before. KLM Sunshine accommodates a maximum of eight divers and provides plenty of personalised service from the highly experienced team. Expect genuinely special experiences both above and below the water.
