Indonesian explorer

Discover the untamed beauty of Indonesia’s tropical islands including Komodo, RAJA AMPAT and TRITON BAy.

Join us as part of an intimate, expert-led kayaking group on an amazing expedition cruise to the diverse islands of Indonesia. We are excited to present this opportunity in collaboration with Heritage Expeditions on board the Heritage Adventurer. Journey into the heart of these relatively untouched islands, home to some of the most distinctive species on earth and experience paddling through azure waters, exploring unspoiled beaches and uncovering wildlife-rich rainforests.

Indonesia’s Remarkable biodiversity

Indonesia, an archipelago of over 18,000 islands, is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity. Home to two of the planet’s 25 biodiversity hotspots, its dense forests and clear, tropical waters support an impressive array of species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth: From rare flowering plants to an array of bird species, the renowned Komodo dragon and majestic whale sharks.

Aboard the Heritage Adventurer

Our adventure commences aboard the comfortable and spacious Heritage Adventurer. Together, we will traverse powdery white-sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs and delve into the mysteries of islands scattered across Indonesia’s pristine waters. From Bali to Port Moresby, we’ll have the unique opportunity to spot the iconic bird-of-paradise, engage with remote communities and discover remnants from World War II.

Dive into the Underwater Nirvana of Raja Ampat

Explore the mesmerizing Raja Ampat, celebrated for its technicolor corals and exotic marine life. This aquatic wonderland, once praised by Jacques Cousteau as an “underwater nirvana”, promises to be an unforgettable part of our journey. As a part of our small, expert-led kayaking group, experience the tranquility of tropical environments, the thrill of navigating through sea caves and reefs. Become a source of fascination for the locals who often paddle their dug-out canoes to join us, and invite us back to their villages.
