At sunrise, cruise through Wayag’s stunning karst formations. Enjoy a leisurely day of water sports, then head ashore for a cocktail party on a pristine stretch of beach.
Start the day with a morning snorkel, then visit the Wayag ranger station where baby black tip reef sharks circle in the shallows.
Hike to a waterfall on the west side of the island in the morning, then snorkel across the equator in the afternoon where soft corals bloom in a vibrant display of colors near the surface.
Go for a snorkel and relax on a deserted beach in the morning. For a taste of local culture in the afternoon, visit Manyaifun village, set partially on stilts overlooking the clear, fish-abundant waters.
Separating Gam and Waigeo islands is a narrow waterway that looks like a river. The clear water hosts colorful soft corals near the surface, perfectly viewed via snorkeling or stand-up paddle boarding.
Awake before dawn for a trek to spot the greater bird of paradise. Snorkel Manta Sandy for swims with manta rays and visit the conservationist village of Arborek in the afternoon, known for its jetty snorkel.
Embark on a morning island trek to see birds on Batanta’s north coast, then walk along the riverbed to see two jungle waterfalls. In the afternoon, relax at anchor where the sounds of the rainforest fill the air.
Take RIBs through Tomolol Bay, where dolphins can sometimes be seen between islands. Swim through cathedral-sized Tomolol cave, leading to a grotto of turquoise water surrounded by sharply rising cliffs.
Explore the area’s exciting scenery on a RIB excursion through the Mushroom Islands with colorful coral just below the surface. End the day with a party onboard before cruising overnight back to Sorong.
Disembark after lunch for flights home.
