"Bob was great with with everyone on the trip, very knowledgeable and communicative, giving us updates the previous night of where we were headed the next day. His natural history presentations were also excellent, giving great context to the trip, from soft corals, to families of reef creatures and their interactions. It was also obvious that he had an easy rapport with his crew members and made the daily activities seem effortless."

"Bob Brunskill taught us new information about the sea life, and showed us as much of the underwater world as possible. His attitude to the organization of the trip was professional, but informal. It is evident that he loves his work, loves snorkeling and diving, loves the ocean."

"Bob's knowledge was impressive and greatly appreciated. He not only answered all our questions verbally and with follow-up reading, he welcomed diverse questions about the wildlife, the schooner, and Indonesian history. His intrepid focus when venturing out in search of sea creatures, both big and small, made the trip a true expedition. And most importantly, he was flexible with the pace of the trip to ensure that each adventure was inclusive to all of us, which made the trip a joy each day as we were able to experience each adventure together."

"The guides make it or break it for this trip. Bob was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable, personable, excited about our adventure, confidence-inspiring, and a great manager of people, places, logistics."

"Like every trip I've ever taken with Wilderness Travel, the guide made the trip. Bob was a wonderful trip leader. It occurred to me after I got home that he had a bigger job than any leader I've ever met, since he had responsibility for the boat as well as for us. And yet he was still comfortably relaxed and fun to be with. (I enjoyed his dry sense of humor.) I asked a lot of basic questions and Bob was patient with me. And Bob is an expert on fish and coral in Raja Ampat so our evening lectures were quite interesting. I'm no naturalist; if I enjoyed the lectures, that's a big recommendation!"
