DAY 1:
As you arrive at Kendari airport, a world of enchantment awaits. You'll be gracefully escorted to the elegant BUGIS boat, the gateway to your extraordinary journey. We'll set sail towards our first destination while your knowledgeable cruise director introduces you to the vessel and our safety procedures. After, let’s immerse yourself in the vibrant underwater world with an exhilarating snorkeling adventure. After a visit to a charming village, we'll raise anchor and continue our voyage under the shimmering starlit sky, bound for our next captivating destination.
DAYS 2:
Wake up to the breathtaking vista of Wangi Wangi Island in the morning. Our day begins with a visit to Bajo Mola, the original Bajo village on Wangi Wangi Island, established 65 years ago. Join our crew as we embark on a shopping adventure to the local market to gather fresh produce. Following an exciting snorkeling session near the boat and exploring this beautiful region.
DAY 3 & 4:
We will drop the anchor early morning at the southern tip of Hoga island, nearby Kaledupa Island. Fringed by mangrove forest and beaches shaded by coconut trees, those islands have a lot to offer for the two days we’ll spend there. A visit to a Bajo village entirely built on stilts above the sea is a must. In the past these `sea gypsies` were more nomadic, living on their boats. Today they live more sedentariously in houses on stilts but they still rely.
DAY 5:
With its high cliffs towering over a heavenly beach lined with coconut trees, Batuata is definitely one of the most scenic island of the region. After setting foot ashore, we pay respect to the local Chief, ask for permission to go around and see the island. We visit the local school, hear the children singing the latest local hits. This is truly a remote place, far away from other islands and you will definitely enjoy the remoteness of it.
DAY 6, 7 & 8:
We spend three full days exploring the many islands of the Taka Bonerate National Park, some inhabited, most empty. There will be plenty of beach combing, snorkeling, zodiac exploration in lagoon, visits villages with hordes of children in tow, meeting the locals and of course beach BBQ on remote beaches.
DAY 9:
After a night of navigation, we arrive at Bonerate island, in the middle of the Flores Sea. We visit the main village: sandy streets, traditional houses built on stilts and elegant Lambo boats being built on the beach. Midday, we cross the narrow strait to the eastern tip of Kalao island and anchor along a spectacular beach. Snorkeling on a nearby reef, hike to the nearby village. Apero on the beach at sunset and quite night at anchor.
DAY 10:
Today will be a day dedicated to the wonderful underwater world of Komodo National Park. With a bit of luck, we might be able to observe manta rays, turtles, and other colorful fish. In the late afternoon, we will depart for the Takabonerate atoll.
