Itinerari (V.O)
Raja Ampat (Misool + Central) | 12D/11N
On this trip we are cruising with south west course to Misool, one of the major Island of Raja Ampat and later we will set course north - to Fam Islands and the west coast of Waigeo.
Our way back with southeast course leads us to the very small Island Arborek and We continue to Mansuar Island and Kri Island. After crossing the Dampier Strait, return course to Sorong.
Raja Ampat Central Area | 9D/8N
On this trip, we explore the central area of Raja Ampat. Our destinations are located in the Dampier Strait and the Fam Islands further west. The beautiful landscape with the peninsula-like islands in Penemu is certainly familiar from the Internet and is easy to confuse with the insularity of Wayag in the north of Raja Ampat. The locals have therefore given the name "small wayag" to the island of Penenu.
Triton Bay & Raja Ampat | 12D/11N
Some of the highlights however include the bobbing pygmy seahorses as well as elegant whale sharks. Triton Bay and the Iris Strait nearby is often less visited due to its isolated location but it has made a name for itself among serious divers as the place to come in Indonesia if you are looking for abundant marine diversity, and a serene atmosphere away from the crowds.
After 4 days we set our course north west direction Misool, the golden South of Raja Ampat. In this unique underwater world we spend the rest of our journey before sailing towards Sorong.
Raja Ampat & Banda Neira Adventure | 12D/11N
Our 12-day Dive & Adventure Travel guides us first from Sorong to the best dive sites of Raja Ampat – to Misool. Raja Ampat is the place where coral species reach 75% of all known species and fish nearly 1,300 species and has arguably the greatest marine biodiversity in the world. Raja Ampat is also a paradise for bird watchers.
Our journey continues via Koon Island (some divers call this divesite "fish soup") to Banda Neira - Once known as the Spice Islands. The condition and health of the coral reefs are breathtaking.
From Banda we continue towards Ambon with stop in Nusa Laut. Nusa Laut is known for its clean reefs that are protected by the local community.
Ambon Island is the capital of Maluku Province and its main town, Kota Ambon is the largest and most developed in the region. In the 17th century when the spice trade was at its peak and the Dutch monopoly on cloves its strongest, they made Kota Ambon their base in the Moluccas because of its superb natural harbor offered, and the town was known as the “Queen of the East”.
While it is still possible to find the odd legacy of those days, most of the Dutch colonial era buildings were destroyed during the WWII battle for Ambon between the Allied forces and the Japanese.
Banda Neira & Triton Bay | 12D/11N
On this trip we travel from Ambon to Banda Neira with a stop in Nusau Laut. From Banda Neira we sail west towards Triton Bay. The stop halfway in Pulau Koon & Kurkap is a must. Some divers call this divesite "fish soup". Triton Bay is located in the Kaimana Regency, located in West Papua Province in Indonesia. It is on the western side of the wider island of New Guinea. In 2008 Kaimana Regency designated 6,000 square meters of land as a special Marine Protected Area.
Cenderawasih Bay | 11D/10N
Day 1 you will arrive in Manokwari, Capital of Papua Barat (West Papua) province. The Boat will departure between 10 am and 2 pm (depending on the arrival time). After the check up dive we sail southward into Cendarawasih Bay. Then Day 2 - Day 11, we will do 3 - 4 dives daily, When crossing only 1-2 dives a day can be scheduled. We will dive in some WW2 wrecks, Pulau Purup (Purupi Island), Pulau Mioswar, Pulau Rouw, Pulau Roon (Tg.
