Day Two

Awake to the beauty of Mioskon Island. This morning, take part in an easy dive or snorkel excursion.

In the afternoon, tour “The Passage” on kayak – a narrow straight between Waigeo and Gam Island that Alfred Russell Wallace travelled through in 1860. Enjoy the mangrove views and catch sight of saltwater crocodiles, hawksbill turtles and hornbills before returning to your Aqua Blu for sundowners and dinner.

Day Three

Take an early tender tour of the magnificent karsts around Kabui Bay. Enjoy breakfast while cruising to Cape Kri. Snorkel or dive at Cape Kri, a dive site which holds the world record for most species spotted in a single 90-minute dive.

In the afternoon, arrive at Yangeffo Island with an exhilarating dive of the Mayhem reef or a sunset cocktail tour of the mangroves.

Back onboard, dine underneath the stars.

Lay back and enjoy Aqua Blu’s Beach Club on a private beach, sipping on bespoke cocktails as the sun sets.

Day Five

Watch the sun rise over Wayag Island’s limestone islets and lagoons. Jump in for an early morning swim and listen the sounds of surrounding nature.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast back on board before diving at Figure Eight Rock or snorkeling at the Ranger station to spot black tip reef sharks.

Spend the afternoon exploring hidden lagoons aboard kayak from “Castaway” beach.

Day Six

Arrive early at Dayang Island, known for its plethora of marine life, especially Reef Manta Rays. If you’re lucky, you may also spot Oceanic Manta Rays. Both snorkelers and divers will revel in the close presence of the mantas at Manta Cleaning Station.

Later cruise to Birie Island for a cultural excursion of the Papuan village of Yensawai for traditional dancing.

At dinner, dine beneath the stars.
