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. We can experience snorkelling with large groups of mantas or Whale Sharks in Saleh bay as they feed and barrel role with ease through the blue. We may swim through large schools of fish Fusiliers, surgeons, banner fish, triggerfish and squadrons of jacks and barracuda. You will be delighted by huge sea fans, sponges, and beautiful coral gardens. Our day-to-day itinerary will be dependent on wind and sea conditions to ensure we are in the best place at the best time. Our 11 days will be full of fantastic snorkelling, village visits and relaxing time on board with other like-minded adventurers.

BIODIVERSITY HITS THE HIGH POINT Let us show you around Pindito’s gigantic playground, made up of hundreds (if not thousands!) of dive sites. Edi is one of the real pioneers of Raja Ampat, having not only discovered numerous sites but also must hold some kind of record for the highest amount of dives around here. And still counting! Raja Ampat, which means “4 Kings” lies in the Coral Triangle. The four main islands are Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo. This expanse of 40,000 square kilometers of marine territory and pristine reefs make these waters a diving haven second to none. Reputed to be the most biodiverse marine habitat on Earth, Raja Ampat is home to many species not found anywhere else. Spectacular, is a word often used to describe this region and is irresistible to divers.

Ten full days in the company of whale and dolphin-watching experts. We do snorkelling and photography in placid blue-water mangroves and coral reef. The crew will arrange village visits for you to meet their friends on remote islands. This trip is very much catered for a mixture of activities, as we have plenty of guides and tenders to arrange whatever you want to do. If you're a diver, we can dive up to three times a day. Non-diving partners enjoy this trip just as much and often see much of the same wildlife.

What you will see is rarely encountered whales and dolphins of species you may never have heard of (and some you have). You'll snorkel on some of the most precious and beautiful coral reef in the world, while cruising in luxury on a converted wooden sailing ship around a World Heritage listed region and one of the world's most extraordinary landscapes.

The presence of naturalists on board with presentations of what we were seeing and thus helping us learn more about the water world we were experiencing made this trip unique. While the kind of wildlife trip is not uncommon for land based learning, the sea based that we had with Wildiaries beats anything else of which I have knowledge. It was truly a unique experience and one worth repeating." -Susan, US


This program is led by Wildiaries’ founder, photography and whale and dolphin expert Simon Mustoe and Sea Turtle Foundation’s Tim Harvey. It offers a rare opportunity to encounter rarely seen whales and dolphins including possibly Orcas, Pilot Whales, Sperm Whales, Bryde's whales, Spinner and Pan-tropical Spotted Dolphins. We also look for Red Birds of Paradise, have the chance to swim with Oceanic Manta Rays and observe a wealth of other ocean wildlife.
