Indonesia’s premier adventure cruising operator, SeaTrek Sailing Adventures, is offering two very special opportunities this December to experience the magic of Indonesia’s Raja Ampat National Park onboard their 12-cabin Ombak Putih, a 42-metre wooden ‘pinisi’ schooner offering only the highest levels of service and comforts. 

Raja Ampat is located in the far eastern reaches of Indonesia off the west coast of Papua, and sits in the heart of the renowned Coral Triangle, the most diverse marine ecosystem on the planet and home to more than 70% of the world’s coral species. Many of the fish, corals and crustaceans that live in these waters are found nowhere else on Earth. Yet, while the below-surface world is reminiscent of a living kaleidoscope, the above-surface views are among the most stunning that one is ever likely to behold.

Two 10-day cruises will be heading to the north and south of the archipelago, famous for its rich diversity of landscapes, coral reefs, and biodiversity both above and below the water. The Raja Ampat Snorkelling and Paddling Tours will run from December 4 – 13 and 16 – 25, with both cruises departing from Sorong in West Papua. During the cruises, SeaTrek will take guests on a far-reaching exploration of what is without a doubt one of the least visited but most memorable adventure-destinations on our planet, offering the chance to snorkel, paddleboard, kayak, trek, swim and explore the rich natural history and beauty of this very hard to reach Garden of Eden.
