Customer reviews:
"The Adora boat was amazing. The beds were super comfy, rooms spacious with a full bathroom, big windows and private balcony! People we allowed to smoke everywhere on the boat which was annoying. Overall though, the Adora was great. Loved the boat, loved our dive guide." - Wendie Gibbons, Canada, 16 January 2018 ...Customer rating: Excellent!
