Wild West of Komodo – with Epic partner Planet Deep 11 nights
Immersive, luxurious, life changing journey aboard the magnificent Fenides. Komodo dragons on land and all being well, snorkelling with whale sharks in the sea. Komdo is a UNESCO world heritage listed island and we will be exploring its western reaches, where few tourists go. The tropical beaches of Sumbawa, the renowned snorkelling and diving of Banta and Moyo Island, the kaleidoscope of colours and diversity of the Coral Triangle.
A Mega-diversity feast in the pristine tropical waters of the Coral Triangle
Diving, snorkelling, swimming, island visits. The abundance of marine and bird life and pristine coral reefs. Liveaboard the magnificent phinisi Fenides for 12 days, spotting whales and dolphins in a full Coral Triangle immersion.
The most bio-diverse marine region on the planet. 12 days of Fenides liveaboard luxury, exploring and adventure. The trip starts in Sorong and includes the best snorkelling that Raja Ampat offers. Short day hops to some of the planet's most spectacular small islands and beaches. By any measure, an unforgettable holiday.
