Description

Embark on a unique journey through Indonesia's lesser-known islands, where you'll encounter blue whales, erupting volcanoes, and uninhabited lands boasting pristine nature!

This expedition route is crafted to provide, in a short span, experiences that others search for across continents over years. Blue whales, dolphins, whale sharks, snow-white private beaches, trophy fishing, and scaling active volcanoes—all in one place with maximum comfort and total privacy, known only to a select few.

Uninhabited islands such as Rusa and Batang truly remain untouched by human presence.

The nearest inhabited shoreline is at least 30 kilometers away.

With no "light pollution," each evening after sunset offers a breathtaking view of billions of stars across the night sky.

On deserted, snow-white beaches, you may spot traces of large sea turtles coming ashore at night to lay their eggs—a spectacle often witnessed during expeditions. Occasionally, wild deer venture from the island’s depths to the campsite.

Freediving and snorkeling are essential and constant features of this experience. Swimming with dolphins, whale sharks, manta rays, and of course, whales, is never missed.

Our collaboration with the island’s premier hotel ensures stunning views of the bay and two volcanoes, a private beach, and charming cafés. Accommodation options include a cozy bungalow or a separate villa.
