After a warm welcome from the crew, we

have the full yacht tour and are shown to our

cabins where our baggage awaits. Lunch

is served, followed by a cruise to Mioskon.

This 6-hour journey takes us away from the

hustle and bustle of everyday life, leading us

past the many spectacular, unspoiled islands

including Batanta and Kri. Arriving at Mioskon,

an island teeming with lush jungle and a

variety of birds, we explore the mangroves

on paddleboards, kayaks and snorkel .

After an afternoon of exploration, dinner is

served on board with the possibility of spotting

blue whales.

Awake to the views of Mioskon and Waigeo,

with a range of fantastic dive sites. Non-divers

can visit the local villages and trek into the

tropical rainforest to spot the famous birds

of paradise – Waigeo is a haven for some

of the world’s rarest birds. We then cruise

to Kabui Bay and take a tender tour of Kabui

Passage, a narrow channel nearly one

nautical mile long, separating the islands

of Gam and Waigeo. Mangrove wetlands

and the tropical forest vegetation above cast

a mystical emerald green hue on the corals

whilst the air rings with the jungle cries of

its fauna.

After spending the morning in the famed

dive spot of Citrus Ridge, we set sail towards

Aljui Bay. The 3-hour long cruise lends time

to pause and experience the stunning white

sand beaches of Wofu along the way. Once

anchored in Aljui, there is the opportunity

to simply relax on board or dive amidst

the dazzling coral walls full of seemingly

electrifying fire clams, tiny shrimp and crabs,

and a colourful assortment of nudibranch. The

nearby jetty offers a fantastic opportunity to

spot macro creatures such as ghost pipefish,

blue-ringed octopus, and bobtail squid, whilst

the pearl farm offers a once–in–a–lifetime

opportunity to see how pearls are extracted

from their mother.

We set course for Kawe and the Equator

Islands, located right across the Equator. The

island of Kawe forms an amazing coral network

with its myriad of tiny islands. The currents

attract shoals of fish and the opportunity to

snorkel with reef sharks. We take a tender tour,

traversing the Equator Islands for a truly unique

experience before we anchor for the night.

We wake up after spending the night on

the Equator and cruise to the picturesque

Wayag for an afternoon dive, snorkel ,

kayak or paddleboard in the magnificent

turquoise blue lagoons. Comprising a series

of undulating limestone cliffs topped with

lush vegetation, the lagoon is strewn with

beautiful islets. Climb Mount Pindito to absorb

the breathtaking view and capture a truly rare

and stunning aerial photograph shot. Return

for a dive followed by a tender tour or kayak

around this amazing area, and be on the

lookout for patrolling black tip sharks.

We set course for Yanggefo and back to the

overnight shelter of the mangroves. A short

cruise takes us to Arborek Village to experience

the generous hospitality of the locals and

the simplicity of this t iny island with a

population of only 197. Here we will see the

exceptional local handicrafts made from sea

pandan leaves such as hats and noken (string

bags). We can also snorkel or dive with Manta

rays at Manta Sandy.
