Cruising The Full Indonesian Archipelago & Connecting Komodo &
Sulawesi
Live-Aboard Dive or Just Cruises
Sulawesi - Komodo
Komodo - Sulawesi
Price: $475Euro Per Person NET |
Once you have made the commitment
to visiting the Komodo National Park, you will find that either you re-track
your steps back to Bali or continue over the island of Flores to Maumere, from
where you can fly "Back to Bali".
On the other hand, if you plan on
traveling North to the Island of Sulawesi, your choices are quite limited but
one of them is to travel via our Traditional Schooner KLM Rima. Our program
takes 3 nights and 4 days and visit many of the outer islands for Tanah Jampea,
Selayar, Kayuadi and arrive at the harbor of Bira, South Sulawesi where we transfer
to the city of Makassar.
Divers can make approximately 3-4
dives over the duration of the trip, but the key objective of this program is
transport and a comfortable sailing and beach combing adventure.
