The unique and immersive itinerary snakes through an array of lush, tropical, richly beautiful and seldom visited islands and regions.
Intrepid adventurers who relish nature and culture will be able to experience the famous dragons of Komodo Island, the coloured volcanic lakes of Flores, the spectacular, jungle-capped karst islands of Triton Bay in Indonesia’s West Papua, the vibrant culture of East Timor and also Kitikiti Waterfall which spills into the sea amid scenery not unlike the jungles of a Tarzan movie. The expedition also embraces the sandalwood,vanilla, almond and tamarind plantations of beautiful Alor Island, and the Eden-like Kei Islands with their secluded, white beaches, azure seas and wondrous coral reefs.
The voyage offers abundant opportunities to visit traditional villages and swim, snorkel or dive in turquoise waters rich in marine life and coral.
The expedition cruise includes guided, complimentary excursions, onboard beverages and insights into the culture, history, flora and fauna of all destinations from an expert expedition team onboard.
After arriving in Darwin, there’s an included night in a luxury hotel to end the holiday.
