Route Description - Best of Raja Ampat

10 Days 9 Nights

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS:

Situated at the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat is widely regarded as the most biodiverse marine environment on the planet. This protected region offers divers the chance to encounter everything from majestic manta rays and elusive hammerhead sharks to colourful reef dwellers and macro critters hiding among pristine coral gardens. Pelagic species patrol the blue, providing thrilling big fish action, while rare and unusual marine life—such as the endemic walking shark—adds a sense of discovery to every dive.

Above the surface, the scenery is equally spectacular. The southern region of Misool features sugarloaf limestone islands, kaleidoscopic blue lagoons, deserted beaches, and lush mangrove forests, creating an otherworldly landscape. Raja Ampat, meaning “Four Kings” in Indonesian, spans a vast marine park with over 170 nautical miles between its furthest points. With such variety, it’s possible to dive for weeks without repeating a single site.

Raja Ampat is generally explored in three main regions: North, Central, and South. Each offers unique topography, ecosystems, and dive experiences:

Northern Section: Includes the dramatic limestone islands of Wayag, the rich reefs of Kawe, and the sheltered macro haven of Aljui Bay.

Central Section: Features iconic sites such as Cape Kri, Penemu, Arborek, and the fish-filled Dampier Strait, known for its incredible density of marine life.

Southern Section: Encompasses the remote and wild sites of Daram, Wayilbatan, Fiabacet, and Pelee, celebrated for their soft coral walls and vibrant underwater topography.

Depending on the season, 9-night itineraries explore both the central region and either the north or south. The more extensive 12-night trips cover all three regions for a comprehensive Raja Ampat experience.

The journey also includes land-based adventures, such as a short trek to the panoramic viewpoint in Penemu, where guests are rewarded with breathtaking views over its iconic star-shaped lagoon and surrounding karst landscape.

Route Description - Raja Ampat & Triton Bay

13 Days 12 Nights

Located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat is the most biodiverse marine region on the planet. This itinerary offers the chance to explore its rich underwater world, from the vibrant lagoons of Misool to pristine reefs teeming with life. Guests can enjoy a beach barbecue prepared by the Aurora crew, swim in crystal-clear lagoons, and dive alongside manta rays, whale sharks, and a wealth of other pelagic species.

The cruise between Sorong and Kaimana is exceptional, encompassing multiple world-renowned regions in a single journey. From coral gardens bursting with color to mysterious macro critters and dramatic underwater landscapes, this route delivers both thrilling diving and serene natural beauty.

Triton Bay, part of the Kaimana Marine Protected Area (6,000 sq km), is one of the voyage’s crown jewels. Here, whale sharks are often spotted near traditional fishing platforms (bagans), and divers can encounter large schools of barracuda and jacks, as well as rare species like the flasher wrasse at Flasher Beach, the Leopard Anemone Shrimp at Namatote Wall, and the endemic Triton Bay walking shark. Key dive sites such as Little Komodo and Larry’s Heaven (also called The Aquarium) highlight the biodiversity of the strait between Aiduma and West Papua.

Depending on the direction of travel—beginning or ending in Sorong—the cruise explores the southern reaches of Raja Ampat, the remote Pisang Archipelago, and the richly diverse coast of West Papua, concluding in Kaimana.

Over 30 dives are possible during this 12-night voyage, with opportunities to explore:

Misool: Spectacular reefs, the chance to see whale sharks, jungle treks, and beach barbecues

Pisang: Unspoiled coral reefs, schools of fish, turtles, and potential manta sightings

Aiduma: Dynamic marine life, colorful coral formations, and diverse topography

Momon: Unusual marine encounters, the dramatic Kiti Kiti waterfall, and opportunities for paddleboarding and kayaking

Please note: Dive sites and locations listed are indicative and may change due to weather or other operational considerations. The final itinerary is at the discretion of the cruise director and captain to ensure guest safety and optimal diving experiences.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS:

Situated at the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat is widely regarded as the most biodiverse marine environment on the planet. This protected region offers divers the chance to encounter everything from majestic manta rays and elusive hammerhead sharks to colourful reef dwellers and macro critters hiding among pristine coral gardens. Pelagic species patrol the blue, providing thrilling big fish action, while rare and unusual marine life—such as the endemic walking shark—adds a sense of discovery to every dive.

Above the surface, the scenery is equally spectacular. The southern region of Misool features sugarloaf limestone islands, kaleidoscopic blue lagoons, deserted beaches, and lush mangrove forests, creating an otherworldly landscape.

Route Description - Raja Ampat & Forgotten Islands

13 Days 12 Nights

This journey ventures into a group of islands accessible only by liveaboard for a few short weeks each year, offering near-total seclusion and a rare chance to escape the crowds. The route combines the remote beauty of the Forgotten Islands with the world-class diving of southern Raja Ampat.

Near-solitude with few, if any, other boats in sight
A unique blend of exploration in the off-the-radar Forgotten Islands and the renowned dive sites of Misool
Stunning islands, dramatic rock formations, and thriving marine ecosystems in Raja Ampat
A day spent diving around Pulau Koon, home to the aptly named "Too Many Fish" dive site

As the name suggests, the Forgotten Islands offer a rare and fleeting opportunity for exploration. Accessible for only a few weeks each year due to seasonal wind patterns, these remote islands in the Moluccas stretch across a 1,000-kilometer chain in the eastern Banda Sea.

With in-depth knowledge of this region, the Aurora crew selects the finest dive sites, where guests can expect a mix of dramatic wall dives, current-swept seamounts, and vibrant coral gardens. Marine life encounters may include large schools of bumphead parrotfish, swirling trevallies and barracudas, hunting tuna, and the thrilling possibility of hammerhead and reef sharks.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there. After experiencing the solitude of the Forgotten Islands, the voyage continues to the legendary Raja Ampat, culminating in the breathtaking beauty of Misool. Recognized by REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation) as the third most species-rich dive site globally, Misool offers a stunning finale to this extraordinary expedition.

Throughout the journey, guests will enjoy crystal-clear waters, tropical beaches, rarely visited reefs, and the exceptional biodiversity that defines one of the richest marine environments on Earth.
