Is the trip suitable for non-divers?

Yes. Komodo and Raja Ampat both have shallow, calm reefs full of life. Many liveaboards and land-based tours run dedicated snorkelling sessions with their own guides.

How long is a typical multi-stop trip?

Most travellers choose 7 to 14 days. That leaves time for both marine parks, plus a few days in Bali on arrival and before you fly home.

What dive equipment is provided?

Most dive packages include a BCD, regulator, mask, fins and wetsuit. We confirm the exact kit in your quote; many divers bring their own mask and computer.

Do I need a permit for Raja Ampat?

Yes. The marine-park permit (PIN) costs IDR 1,000,000 per foreign visitor (IDR 500,000 for Indonesian citizens) and is valid for 12 months. It is not included in tour prices; regency charges may apply on top.

7–14 days: typical multi-stop trip
Apr–Nov: Komodo dry season
Dec–Mar: Raja Ampat manta season

Komodo National Park

Dragons on land, mantas below

Strong currents feed an abundance of life: manta rays, reef sharks and dense schools of reef fish. Dive packages usually take in several sites inside the park.

Snorkellers get sheltered bays and shallow reefs, often with sea turtles. Conditions are typically best in the dry season, April to November, when seas are calmer.

Raja Ampat

The epicentre of marine biodiversity

The number of fish species, corals and macro life here is staggering. Trips take in Piaynemo's karst islands and vibrant reefs; Wayag is reached only by liveaboard, and access can change — check before booking.

Manta rays are a highlight for photographers. We reach remote sites by liveaboard, or by speedboat for shorter excursions.

Piaynemo karsts; Wayag by liveaboard
Manta rays, best December to March
Fly to Sorong (SOQ), then about 2–3 hours by boat to Waisai
