Exploring Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands of Indonesia

What constitutes the holiday of a lifetime? I’m not sure I can come up with a definition, but I am certain that exploring the remote islands of Raja Ampat, aboard a luxury expedition ship, is a top contender. The islands lie at the eastern end of the Indonesian archipelago, just off the tip of West Papua. At the heart of the Coral Triangle. In terms of snorkelling and scuba diving, this is as good as it gets. With unmatched marine diversity, vibrant coral reefs, uninhabited limestone islands and exotic birds, Raja Ampat is a paradise for nature lovers. Add to that: sundowners on remote white sandy beaches, gourmet meals, Spice Trade history, fantastic guides, super-friendly staff, a bunch of adventurous fellow travellers, and you’ve got an unforgettable holiday.
