A big thank you to you and the crew for a fantastic 4 days in September 2022. It really was the highlight of our Indonesian holiday. 

We didn’t really know what to expect before our arrival but the boat is very comfortable and  had everything we needed as a family. The food was great and Nana produced a stream of delicious and perfectly executed dishes. The diving was a complete highlight and we loved our two dives a day routine. Egi , as the dive master , handled us extremely well given we were a mixture of newly qualified and rusty older divers but we grew in confidence during each dive and loved it.  I think there is more to see in Komodo than at the Great Barrier Reef and you pitched the level of the dive sites perfectly so they were challenging but not scary. 

Thank you again for a superb holiday. You anticipated our every need and we never had to ask for anything as it was already there and you made everything fun  …. From beanbags and beers on the sandbar to Pina Colada’s and fire on the beach and sundowners complete with seats so we had somewhere to sit ! 

Best regards

If I had a dollar for every time my kids ask me when we will be back at ANANDA I’d be rich by now!

We had a 4 night cruise with our family (2 sons of 16 and 18 years). It was a more than fantastic stay at the Ananda. The owners and the crew are very service oriented. We had marvelous breakfasts, lunches and diners. Don’t forget the well made cocktails at the private beaches, well prepared by the crew. 
We had lovely snorkeling and saw a lot of tropical fishes, turtles and sharkes and beautiful corals. 
The Ananda is a very well equiped ship: Nice cabins, very much space inside and outside. The crew was fantastic.

Dear Nana&Max
Louise and I wish to thank you again for the marvellous time spent with you and Nana aboard the Ananda.
The return was busy thus the delay in conveying you our thanks. Most important they are very sincere. 
Over and above the pirate adventure on board, we appreciated your company and you made our stay memorable. They say that the proof is in the details and it is much so about our cruise on Ananda.
You went out of your way to cater to our desires such as raising the sails even in high winds, changing routes to find mantas, and even after we left, you provided your driver to take us to immigration, waiting for us and enabling us to catch our next flight at the last minute. 
Also a word about precious Nana. We found her cooking talents, but also a wonderful human being. Good moments at diner time while exchanging recipes with Louise. 
When we arrived on board, to us you were captain and crew waiting to be discovered. As we left, after only 4 days, we felt we would miss you like old friends. This says it all.

Enjoy every moment and may 2020 be the best year for you.
Louise and Michel

Notre meilleur souvenir d’un groupe de plongeurs Franco-Suiise, aujourd’hui 21 mars 2015, nous sommes ensemble à nous remémorer notre magnifique croisière à bord de l’Ananda. Merci à Max et son épouse pour tous les bons moments passés à bord ainsi qu’à l’équipage. Les plongées encadrées par Adriana ont toutes été excellentes…. Les poissons au rendez-vous de notre émerveillement. Le bateau est absolument magique pour les plongeurs et les accompagnants, que des bons souvenirs à partager entre amis….
