Solo Traveler, But Not Lonely at All
As a solo traveler, I was hesitant joining a group charter, tapi Fenides Phinisi punya vibe yang welcoming tanpa intrusive. I joined their 5-day itinerary with mixed guests, tapi because max only 11 people, rasanya seperti private yacht. Saya spend most of my time at Kanawa Island, where the sandbar changes shape every tide — I brought my sketchbook and just drew for hours. Crew offered kayaking and stand-up paddleboard setiap pagi, dan one morning, I ended up snorkeling alone near Komodo Island, guided by one of the dive masters. The silence underwater was meditative. Malam-malam, I’d join others at the upper deck for light conversation and star gazing — no light pollution, jadi Milky Way kelihatan jelas. Only thing: personal charging port di kabin kurang accessible, tapi they provided extension with USB-C. Fenides Phinisi feels like a floating sanctuary.
