Itinerary Details

Dive the wish list destination Raja Ampat and Banda Islands with one of Scuba Travel's hand picked liveaboards. This is the ultimate Indonesian dive adventure, packed with big fish to macro and mind blowing bio diversity.

Raja Ampat and Banda Islands Description

Raja Ampat and Banda islands is a transitional itinerary, that moves between the macro mecca of Ambon to the big fish walls of Raja Ampat. Midway through the journey, the itinerary calls at the remote Banda Islands, a rarely visited gem in the heart of the Coral Triangle. Famous for their dramatic volcanic landscapes and rich history as the original Spice Islands, Banda offers outstanding diving with pristine reefs, crystal-clear water, and a mix of macro life and pelagic encounters. Steep walls, vibrant hard corals, schooling fish, and seasonal sightings of larger species make Banda a perfect transition between Ambon’s macro-focused dives and the expansive big-fish walls of Raja Ampat.
This is an extended itinerary where you can visit some of the best dive sites in the Centre of the Coral Triangle.


The Ambon to Sorong cruise is special because it takes in two magnificent regions in the one cruise. Beginning in Ambon we head first to the Banda Islands (original Spice Islands) before rounding the east coast of Seram and rejoining the south and central sections of Raja Ampat. The Banda Islands will offer the opportunity for some pelagic action, hopefully hammerheads too, before diving arguably one of the best dive locations worldwide, South Raja Ampat.


The diving is hugely varied. Raja Ampat is the most biodiverse place on earth. Hang out on the walls to look for sharks, manta and other pelagic action, combined with colourful pristine reefs. There are copious amount of fish life, with swirling schools racing up and down the reefs. Sunset Dive for the Mandarin fish in Banda Neira.


Highlights may include
Banda Islands: Pohon Miring, Batu Kapal, Batu Kapal Pinnacle, Banda Neira Jetty and Lava Flow
Banda Land Visits: On this cruise we visit Banda Neira to see the nutmeg plantation, historic forts and small Maritime Museum. A half day excursion
Raja Ampat Central Section: Gam, Penemu, Arborek, Cape Kri Area
Raja Ampat Southern Section: Daram, Wayilbatan, Fiabacet, Pelee
