Itinerary

Trip overview

This 11-day Forgotten Islands expedition sails from Maumere to Saumlaki, exploring some of Indonesia’s least-visited and most remote island groups, with up to 29 dives planned. After a relaxed embarkation day, the journey heads north through a rarely travelled region known for its sense of exploration and isolation. Diving takes place around Kawula, Alor, Wetar, Nyata, Kital, Nusleur, Terbang, and Teun Islands. Expect a wide variety of reef structures, from walls and slopes to open-ocean influenced reefs, with healthy coral growth, clear water, and abundant marine life. The diversity of landscapes and changing underwater scenery define this route. The final dives around Dai Island provide a calm and scenic conclusion to the trip, with unspoiled reefs and balanced ecosystems. The expedition ends in Saumlaki, offering a rewarding journey for divers seeking remote locations and a true off-the-beaten-path experience.

Healthy coral formations, excellent visibility, and abundant reef life create colorful and engaging dives, offering a strong start to the journey. Example dive sites: Bacatan Wall, Tanjung Dewi.

Day 3 – Alor (4 dives)

Example dive sites: Ternate Wall, Karang H, Clown Valley.

Day 5 – Wetar (3 dives)

Remote and seldom visited, Wetar Island feels far removed from regular dive routes. The day is marked by a sense of exploration, with dives unfolding along expansive reef systems influenced by open waters. Its isolation and scale make Wetar a striking and memorable stop in the itinerary. Example dive sites: Tanjung Tutunukae, Tanjung Reong.

Day 6 – Nyata (4 dives)

Nyata Island offers a calmer rhythm, with dives taking place along sheltered reef areas and varied underwater topography. The scenery shifts between coral-covered slopes and shallower reef zones, creating enjoyable, unhurried dives before the journey continues northward.

Day 8 – Nusleur & Terbang Islands (4 dives)

Set along a quiet stretch of islands, Nusleur and Terbang offer a sense of isolation and exploration. Diving here reveals contrasting reef profiles and changing underwater scenery, shaped by open-sea influence and natural channels between the islands. It is a day defined as much by the setting as by the dives themselves, adding character to the journey as the cruise moves onward. Example dive sites: Nusleur Wall, Terbang Utara, Terbang Selatan.

Day 9 – Teun (3 dives)
