Discovery of Banggai Archipelago 6N/7D

DAY 1

Upon arrival at Luwuk Airport, we will transfer to the harbor where we embark on our vessel, the BUGIS. While sailing, our cruise director will provide a briefing to familiarize you with the vessel and our safety procedures. In the late afternoon, we will make a stop at a charming beach. As night falls, we will weigh anchor to continue our journey along the picturesque coast.

DAY 2

This day, we'll start the exploration by checking out Peleng  Island's visiting the famous of Paisupok Lagoon, hypnotizing  us with crystal clear water. Following that, we'll proceed to a  stunning white sand beach where you can indulge in  swimming, kayaking, or snorkeling activities.

DAY 3

In the morning, we'll check out the Vinisius atolls, which are  perfect for snorkeling. The reefs there are full of colorful  coral, sponges, and lots of different kinds of fish, like anthias  and fusiliers. We might even meet some local Bajau  fishermen who spend a few days fishing in the area. After  lunch, we'll hop on our zodiac boat to explore more lagoons  and visit a Bajau village.

DAY 4

In the morning, we'll reach a small island surrounded by beautiful  white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. Our day will be filled with  snorkeling, swimming, and a barbecue on the lovely beach but first  we will go onshore to meet the local fisherman to buy some sea food  for our barbecue. In the afternoon, we'll take a short sail to a tiny  island to meet a small Bajau community to enjoy a bonfire with them  on the beach as the sun sets.

DAY 5

This day promises exciting exploration with visits to "Bajo"  villages, where you'll likely be the center of attention as it's a  place rarely visited by foreigners. In the early morning,  weather permitting, we'll be on Toropot Island to explore two  picturesque Bajau villages. These communities primarily  sustain themselves through the octopus trade and seagrass.  The highlight of the day will be snorkeling near the  mangroves, offering a chance to spot the endemic "Banggai  cardinal fish." We'll also go ashore and visit a traditional  village in the interior, witnessing fishermen trading their daily  catch.

DAY 6

In the northeastern part of Banggai Island, we'll find the  most breathtaking beaches in the archipelago. Though we  might not get to explore all of them, we'll definitely make a  stop under the shade of a tree along the fine sandy  shoreline. Here, we can enjoy snorkeling around the superb  reef. Additionally, we'll embark on a Zodiac raid to meet the  local fishermen. As the sun sets, we'll raise the anchor and  head to our final destination, Luwuk.

DAY 7

We will arrive at the harbour of Luwuk early morning. After  breakfast we say farewell to the crew and we will be  transferred to the airport for the return flight to Bali.
