Highlights

  • Pristine & Remote Reefs: Raja Ampat is a diver's dream destination offering pristine reefs teeming with abundant sea life due to its remoteness. Envelop yourself in the undersea world which you can have entirely to yourself.
  • Island Hopping: In between your underwater adventures, break surface and explore the lands which are equally remote and untamed. These endless green isles offer coves, lagoons, jungles and rare foliage and birds.
  • Private Schooner: Set sail on a luxury schooner that is entirely yours. Replete with plush interiors, stocked with comforts, and staffed by a skilled and experience crew, all you have to do is enjoy the sun & seas. The days are entirely yours to swim, dive, trek, and eat the freshest seafood directly from the sea.
