Raja Ampat
Traveling on a live-aboard dedicated to snorkeling is a dream-come-true. It is a remarkable way to get to remote and pristine reefs that would be impossible to reach otherwise. Most live-aboards are for divers only and focus largely on deeper reefs. The Pindito crew has a designed a special trip for us that will feature shallow reef systems that highlight the marine diversity of this astonishingly beautiful area. It’s so special to be on a live-aboard because the underwater scenery and marine life is ever changing! You unpack once. Then you live in your bathing suit and shorts for 10 days in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There is wonderful camaraderie on board as everyone is sharing the same passion. Area highlights include pygmy seahorses, mandarin fish, wobbegongs, turtles, majestic mantas and even dolphins!
Komodo
The astonishing variety of marine life is staggering. The diversity of marine habitats translates to wildly different snorkelling experiences.
