Destinations :
The list includes the following destinations but is not limited to them. We can sail and reposition to any place that you desire.
Sumatra / Java / Bali / Flores (Komodo) / West Timor / Kalimantan / Sulawesi / Raja Ampat / Maluku / Papua ...etc.
Sumatra
Fabled for its rainforests and wildlife, Sumatra remains a destination most travelers resign to their “someday” list. Someday is now. One of the largest islands in the world, for adventurers looking for something beyond the ordinary. Sumatra is a complete tourist destination-sunny beaches, rich flora and fauna, large rivers and great history. Sumatra has the richest wildlife in Indonesia and hence it is known as "Africa of Asia". It is full of tropical rainforests and if you are a wildlife lover then Sumatra is the ideal place for you.
Bali
Bali is a tropical island on the Indonesian archipelago. It is often referred to as a ‘paradise on earth’ and correctly so. With sunny and sandy beaches, tropical jungles full of exotic wildlife, paddyfields tripping down the hills, active volcanoes soaring up in the sky, spirited festivals throughout the year, and a culture that makes everybody feel a part of it, one cannot ask for more. Apart from sightseeing, Bali offers a lot of opportunities for tourists, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, hiking, and golf.
Flores
Flores truly is a fascinating island. Long hidden in the shadows of its more famous neighbor Bali, the island of Flores is finally emerging as a unique destination of its own. So, after visiting the lair of Komodo dragons, take time to marvel at some of the wonders of Flores. Here you can swim in pristine lakes and waterfalls, dive at one of the 50 spectacular dive sites, go kayaking among craggy coasts and mangrove shores, explore mysterious caves and be warmly welcomed by the island’s people in their rituals, dances and daily life. Flores spells adventure, diving, eco-tours, and mountain climbing interspersed with visits to prehistoric heritage sites, traditional villages
and cultural events.
Sulawesi
Formerly known as Celebes, Sulawesi is shaped like a tropical orchid. It is Indonesia's third-largest island. Sulawesi has great topographical variety; spectacular mountains,scenic coastlines, lakes, rice fields and dense jungles. Manado is the capital of North Sulawesi Province. Manado offers a variety of terrain with hills, volcanic mountains and scenic plateaus. The world famous Bunaken Marine National Park, is located very close to Manado and comprises of 5 islands: Bunaken, Manado Tua, Siladen, Mantehage and Nain. The superb diving and snorkeling sites puts the Marine Park in one of the top 10 dive areas of the world and is a mecca for seasoned and beginner divers alike.
Raja Ampat
Raja Ampat or ‘Four Kings,’ is the name given to these islands and comes from a local myth. The four major islands found here are Waigeo, Misool (which is home to ancient rock paintings), Salawati and Batanta. Underwater enthusiasts flock to this region because it offers the world’s best marine sights. The territory within the islands of the Raja Ampat is enormous, covering 9.8 million acres of land and sea. It is home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700 types of mollusks. This makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and underwater biota. According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International
around 75% of the world's species live here.
Maluku
Maluku is blessed with incredible sea gardens, idyllic, tropical beaches and rugged, forest-coated volcanic mountains. These are the famous Spice Islands
which drew Indian, Chinese, Arab and eventually European traders in search of cloves and nutmeg. In 1511, the Portuguese built their first fort in the area on the island of Ternate, and cornered the clove trade. The Dutch, who arrived in 1599, mounted the first serious threat to Portuguese control of Maluku’s treasures. Armed conflicts broke out and Western society as we know it today accumulated a great deal of wealth in these spice wars.
West-Timor
The Nusa Tenggara is a string of islands to the east of Bali, while Timor is its easternmost island in that string. Topographically, Timor differs from the rest of the East Nusa Tenggara islands. For the line of volcanoes that runs from Sumatra, Java, and on to other Nusa Tenggara islands, skips Timor and continues north to Maluku or the Moluccas. The cause of this is that unlike other Nusa Tenggara islands, Timor is in fact geologically related to Australia, and therefore has no volcanoes. While its geographical location and long history and tradition make it culturally Indonesian.
Papua
Papua is the common name that refers to the western half of the Island of New Guinea (Indonesian New Guinea). The Papua region has been visited by global traders since the beginning of the 7th century.Another interesting aspect of Papua’s tribal and cultural history is mummies. Usually just the tribal leaders or war commanders are preserved with traditional ingredients in order to glorify their historical or religious importance. There are 24 tribes with different languages spoken daily in Papua and frequently connected with the Asmat and Dani ethnic groups. A popular product of the Asmat tribe is wooden sculpture, internationally known for its beauty.
