Everything was very organized, from hotel pickup until the arrival at Kuata. South Sea Cruises really did a great job! The boat is like a public sea transportation. It stops in few islands. But don't worry, there's a clear instruction in the boat. You won't miss Kuata island. Kuata is a paradise! The staffs were so nice and friendly. Lunch was also good. I would love to stay for few days there.
