Day 1: SORONG
Our crew will pick you up from Sorong airport and take you to the ferry port ready for the ferry over to Wasai where the boat will be waiting. It is very important to ensure that all domestic flights arrive early in the morning at Sorong, to be able to transfer guests from Sorong to Waisai by ferry for the cruise departure. For your information, there are only 2 ferries daily from Sorong to Wasai: 9.00am and 2:00 pm; so we highly recommend booking flights with arrival into Sorong early in the morning, so in the case of a delay on arrival, there is still the opportunity to catch the 2:00 pm ferry.

Day 2: FARONDI
We will wake up in Misool National Park, a region with thousands of islands. Here you will be able to see the richest variations of fish, soft and hard corals, all kinds of macro, wobbegong sharks, and epaulette sharks. Misool is also one of the rare places with the most breathtaking landscape. Around Farondi we will do our 3 day dives and of course our first night dive.

Days 3-7: MISOOL NATIONAL PARK
So many Islands to visit and so many different dive spots. We will cruise around Jilliet, Fiabejet, Walib, Wajil, Fef Pele, Masenta, Boo etc. We will offer you a day excursion with the speedboat around the incredible island labyrinth of Misool. We will visit caves, have a delicious picnic and snorkel inside some incredible caves. If some guests decide to remain on board, 3 day dives will be scheduled.

Day 8: FARONDI
We will cruise back to Farondi to dive in different and fantastic places or we can decide to cruise further up north until Waigeo, Sel Pele where we can have the chance to visit a pearl farm.

Day 9: JEF FAM
Diving around the Island of Jef Fam will surprise you with huge hard table corals and clams shells, not to mention wobbegong sharks and the breathtaking landscape.

Day 10: MANSUAR
Around the Island of Mansuar we will have the chance to see manta rays and much more!

Day 11: KRI
On our way back to Sorong Harbor, we will make our last 2 dives in front of Kri Island. We end our diving cruise with superlatives!

Day 12: SORONG
The crew will organise the transfer from the boat to Sorong airport, depending on the flight schedule of our guests.
