This exclusive departure explores the remote reefs and crystal clear turquoise waters of Indonesia. Snorkel amongst an array of flora and fauna and witness numerous marine life encounters from the surface on this extended liveaboard itinerary.
Join the Bugis liveaboard from Sorong or Labuan Bajo, among others, on its dedicated snorkelling itineraries. This special snorkelling trip is focused on shallower reef systems that bring out the best of marine diversity in stunning Indonesia.
Itineraries vary throughout the year, ranging from three to 11 nights, and ensure you’re at the right place at the right time. From early May through to September the focus is the UNSCEO World Hertitage Site of Komodo, where you can enjoy the kaleidoscopic beauty of shallow tropical reefs and opportunities to see manta rays, and on land expeditions to see Komodo dragons and Pink Beach. Between November and late March, the vessel is in Raja Ampat, the marine biodiversity capital and culturally rich on land. Colourful reef bustling with hard and soft corals, as well as possible encounters with pelagic species are just two of the highlights here. Itineraries are also available in Wakatobi and central Sulawesi.
Travelling with a group of like-minded snorkellers, stay in eco-conscious accommodation, visit remote Indonesian villages and relax under the stars on deck. Highlights include the chance to snorkel with dolphins, large mantas and graceful turtles amongst vibrant shoals of fish. This is certainly an adventure of a lifetime!
The below itinerary is based on a 7-night sailing through Raja Ampat.
