Arrive at Bastianos Froggies Lembeh Dive Resort

Only superlatives can describe this trip. I booked because it's Heather and Jonas and Blue Planet. I booked because i needed to reconnect with big ocean wildlife in a place that had been on my bucket list for years. I booked to celebrate my son's 18th birthday and, months ahead of time, my 60th. I didn't know that i would walk onboard the Valentina knowing only 3 people and leaving having made a constellation of new friends, a profound appreciation and admiration for one of the hardest working crews i have met, and any and all expectations I had of the diving and encounters summarily blown out of the water. So thank you Blue Planet - Heather and Jonas, for creating such a supportive, warm and collegial community and for enabling me to experience what have entered into my top 5 dives in 35 years of diving.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you could join us to this amazing little corner of the world and that it exceeded your expectations - coming from someone with your experience and background, this speaks volumes! And thank you for sharing your expertise on all the sharks and mantas we encountered - we know everyone really appreciated this resource! We hope to go exploring with you again soon!

Another wonderful trip- it truly was a bucket list diving experience. The pre trip information was excellent. I felt organized and prepared for the chaos of air travel and the airport experience. The diving was excellent- great crew on the boat, Heather and Jonas were always there to answer questions, and the Blue Planet group was enjoyable as always!

Another great trip with Blue Planet! The diving was amazing, and I felt safe knowing Jen and Michael were looking out for us in addition to the local guides.

Very good diving, well coordinated, clearly communicated and arranged. Good extra activities were included, specifically the whale watching and gorge swim/waterfall walk. Thanks to Jen and Michael, we had nice team breakfasts everyday and an excellent dining outing the last night.

This trip was very well organized. Michelle was on top of all the logistics and details. The dive team were very professional and friendly. The night dive was gret. I would recommend the trip to anyone.
