Top tips
- Even if you aren't an expert photographer, it's worth bringing an underwater camera. You never know when you might bump into a whale shark or manta ray.
- All of this boat's itineraries include exciting land excursions. Be sure to pack comfortable shoes, lightweight clothing, and some extra sun protection.
- Current junkies should plan their trip during a full moon. This part of the month is best for spotting large pelagics, too!
- Pack plenty of extras like batteries and sunscreen. This boat's itineraries visit some of Indonesia's most remote regions where you won't find much shopping.
