Itinerary

CRUISE KEY

Embarking Port Maumere / MOF or Alor / ARD Disembarking Port Alor / ARD or Maumere / MOF East of the famed Komodo National Park lies the enchanting island group known as East Nusa Tenggara. Set in the warm tropical waters of the Flores Sea, this expansive, mountainous archipelago is the result of ancient volcanic activity, offering spectacular scenery both above and below the surface. From powdery white sand beaches and crystal-clear blue waters to lush green rainforests and golden savannah-like landscapes, the natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring. Beneath the waves, vibrant coral gardens shimmer with life, hosting massive shoals of reef fish, sea fan-covered walls, seamounts, and ledges with exceptional visibility. Gently sloping sandy bottoms provide ideal habitats for rare and fascinating critters, such as frogfish, mimic octopus, fire sea urchins, and the elusive rhinopias, all hidden among the countless bays and coves throughout the region. The Flores Sea is also teeming with larger marine life; each year, whales and dolphins migrate through the deep, narrow channels of the Nusa Tenggara island chain, a vital corridor connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This migration route supports numerous whale species and vast schools of tuna, adding to the area's remarkable biodiversity.

TYPICAL DIVE SITE

ADONARA The diving along the north coast of Adonara offers very nice gentle sloping coral reefs with quite a few coral bommies on sandy patches. Very good for critters; ornate ghost pipefish, pipefish, frogfish, seahorse, leaf scorpion fish, and ribbon eels. This area remains an opportunity to dive unexplored sites to reveal the Gems of Alor. ALOR & PANTAR The 3 inactive volcano islands in the Strait between Alor and Pantar make it a perfect combination for some world class diving, with vertical sheer walls, numerous small coves, a good mix of fresh water, slightly sloping silky sand with swift currents that bring so many nutrients in to the bay and provide shelter for critters that take habitat here. From colourful coral to rare pelagic and critters on the seabed, the bay of Alor has it all. LEMBATA Beneath the towering Gunung Api, an active volcano 1,450 meters above sea level to the north of Lembata island, are wonderful sites, dramatic sheer walls, plateaus with beautiful hard corals, overhangs, and black sand critter dives. It’s not uncommon to see predators like reef sharks swim along the reef. NORTH - EAST FLORES TJ. Bunga has excellent diving; nice shallow reef tops with fine hard corals and abounds with soft corals and sea fans covering the walls & crevices hiding macro delights such as frogfish, pygmy seahorses and ghost pipefish. Often sharks and eagle rays are cruising in the blue. There are also reports of Hammerhead sightings here. KOMBA VOLCANO Komba is an active volcano in the Flores Sea with the smell of sulphur in the air when you are nearby. You'll find sheer walls and ridges all around the island with black volcanic sandy slopes up in the shallows. Colorful walls with soft coral, sea fans and encrusting sponges, lots of reef fish along the walls and out in the blue there's a good chance for bigger stuff like dogtooth tunas, mackerels, jacks, rays, turtles and reef sharks. Another highlight of Komba are the regular eruptions, which which turn the night sky into a spectacular natural firework display that can be witnessed from a safe distance. MAUMERE BAY Maumere is a beautiful bay on the north coast of Flores. There is a wealth of macro life to keep any diver fascinated for hours. It’s this diversity that has also made Maumere a perfect place to finish our cruise.
