This voyage is tailored for the inquisitive and avid adventurer. We’ll leave behind the hustle and bustle of modern life to immerse ourselves in a world of quiet villages, aquamarine lagoons and the remote atolls of the Flores Sea. From the dry and hilly islands of the Komodo National Park where the largest lizards on earth roam, we’ll sail north to the little known islands separating Flores from Sulawesi. This is the land of the Bajo, also referred to as “sea gypsies”, a sea-faring people whose way of life has little changed in the course of history, living in houses on stilts by the shore. Then we’ll also visit Taka Bonerate National Park, part of the coral triangle, the richest underwater ecosystem in the world where snorkelling and diving will be an experience of a lifetime.
Pirate Island: After your arrival on board, we will sail to the island of Sabolan : enjoy swimming, snorkelling, along a white sandy beach.
Bonerate island: visit the main village. Sandy streets, traditional houses built on stilts and elegant Lambo boats being built on the beach. Midday, we cross the narrow strait to the eastern tip of Kalao island and anchor along a spectacular beach. Snorkeling on a nearby reef, hike to the nearby village. Apero on the beach at sunset and quite night at anchor.
We spend three full days exploring the many islands of the Taka Bonerate National Park, some inhabited, most empty. There will be plenty of beach combing, snorkelling, zodiac exploration, visits villages with hordes of children in tow, meeting the locals and of course beach BBQ on remote beaches.
Uninhabited island of Jailamu and Panjang Islan : we will explore the crystal clear waters, coral reefs, immaculate beaches lined with swaying palm trees. Also the opportunity to hike through rice fields, spice plantations and forest, passing through quiet villages around Tanah Jampea island.
Komodo National Park: trekking through the monsoon forests of Rinca island, hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive Komodo dragon, swimming from pink beaches, snorkeling with turtles, reef sharks manta rays and other pelagic species., hiking to hilltops to enjoy the great scenery of the surrounding archipelago.
You will wake up along a charming little island just 30 min away from the harbor. There, you can unwind on a delightful beach and explore the vibrant marine life after that, we say farewell to the crew and we will transfer you to the airport with a great memory to keep.
