The five-day exotic sailing adventure in the Komodo archipelago includes observing Komodo dragons, swimming with Manta Rays, and relaxing on pristine beaches. This adventure gives you and 13 of your closest friends the opportunity to escape the modern world. Swim in warm turquoise waters, dive and snorkel among some of the most beautiful reefs on the planet, and seek out the fabled Komodo dragons. You’ll spend your days kayaking along deserted shorelines and climbing island mountains. You will sail the waters of Komodo National Park, observing exotic wildlife both above and below the water. On the island of Rinca, Komodo’s smaller neighbor, you will have the chance to walk through the dragon’s territory with a nature guide. Watersports like jet skiing, kayaking, snorkeling and diving are available.

The six-day cruise around Raja Ampat is a very special holiday which includes snorkeling among almost 1,000 species of reef fish. One third of the number of hard coral species are found in these waters.
