Team at the base were incredibly helpful and did everything they could to facilitate the stay. Very well stocked boat with bedding/cutlery/plates/pans etc. it’s our 3rd time with a Bali and the space up top by Captain was our favourite so far. Triple rooms are ideal for 3 children sharing, even if in their 20’s.
