14 Nights September 26-October 10, 2024

Bilikiki is back from a 14 day trip! This time onboard we had guests from the US, Australia and Belgium. Some of them had been here before we us so we were very happy to see them again!
We took our guests to our favourite dive sites around the Central and Western Provinces. For those who love pelagic marine life, there were lots of great spots but Kicha and Mary were probably everyones’ favourites. We could enjoy their schools of barracudas, rainbow runners, oceanic triggerfish and big eye jacks, sharks (white tips, black tips, grey reefs and a silver tip), Napoleon wrasses and bumphead parrot fish. We were very lucky to see a fair amount of eagle rays this trip and also Mary the Manta at Mborokua Island!
For those who were more interested in macro life and coral reefs, places like Kicha, Karumolun, White beach, Mbulo and Maravaghi were a delight: orangutan crabs, Denise pigmy seahorses, soft coral crabs, hairy squat lobsters, bobtail squid, pipefishes, nudibranchs, flatworms, sea horses, scorpion leaf fish, cuttlefish, octopus and many others were around! So... from walls to sandy slopes, magic places like Mbulo Caves or Leru Cut along with some wrecks, we can say everyone got their kind of dive.
The floating and carving markets were again very impressive for our guests, and the dancing and singing at Karumolun Village was a beautiful experience.
We would like to thank our guests for choosing us to spend their holidays with and we wish you all a safe journey back home. We hope to see you all again soon.
We would also like to thank our crew for their incredible hard work and for being always there, making all this experience possible and unforgettable.
Happy bubbles
Pato & Fernando
