Snorkeling Triton Bay to Raja Ampat!
The West Papuan coast, from Raja Ampat to Triton Bay, possesses just about every type of shallow marine habitat on the planet, including some habitats that attract the world’s largest fish, the whale shark! Please join our small group of adventurous snorkelers on board our luxurious 5-star motor yacht for this incredible journey to the world’s epicenter for marine biodiversity!
Itinerary
Each departure is unique and hand-crafted to expose you to a diversity of marine habitats and the incredible snorkeling sites that can be found there. Our tour begins in Triton Bay, West Papua, visiting many of the pristine marine habitats before heading north along the West Papuan coast on our way to the epicenter of marine biodiversity, Raja Ampat. And with the chance to snorkel with whale sharks in Triton Bay, this will be an epic snorkeling-trip-of-a-lifetime!
The usual disclaimer about weather and tides affecting the itinerary are only a bonus for us, since we use them to ensure we visit each site at the best times possible! Our snorkeling tour begins and ends in Bali, Indonesia, with one internal, round-trip flight.
