Step into the heart of Flores and witness one of the most striking cultural performances in Southeast Asia, the Caci Dance. Often mistaken for a war dance, Caci is a traditional martial art performance that symbolizes masculinity, leadership, and emotional discipline. The word “Caci” comes from the Manggarai language: “Ca” = one “Ci” = test Together, it means “a one-on-one test”, a ritual duel meant to test a man’s agility and self-control, not to harm. Each dancer wears a belt of bells, known as giring-giring, that ring with every movement, echoing rhythm, grace, and power through the arena. Once a coming-of-age tradition, Caci is now performed as a cultural showcase, inviting travelers from around the world to connect with the deeper stories of Flores. If you’re looking for more than just a vacation, if you’re looking for meaning, culture, and unforgettable moments, join us as we sail to the places where stories come alive. 🌏✨ Culture. Exploration.

Spotted mid-snorkel: a cuttlefish gliding through the reef like something straight out of a sci-fi film. Graceful, curious, and full of personality, cuttlefish are one of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures, and seeing one in motion is pure underwater magic. It doesn’t flash colors or show off this time... it just moves with a kind of quiet beauty that makes you pause and forget the rest of the world. These are the moments that make snorkeling on our voyages unforgettable, not just the big wildlife, but the strange, subtle, and surreal. Here are some unique and fascinating cuttlefish facts - Masters of camouflage.Cuttlefish can change their color, texture, and even the shape of their bodies in less than a second to blend in with their surroundings, even though they're colorblind! - Built-in buoyancy control.They have a unique internal shell called a cuttlebone, which they use to control their buoyancy, like a built-in scuba tank. - Communication through their skin. They use patterns, pulses, and flashes of color to communicate, hunt, or attract mates, essentially using their skin as a dynamic display screen. ✨ Ready for your own ocean encounter?Come explore where the wild things drift. #Cuttlefish #SnorkelingAdventure #SailingEscape #UnderwaterMagic #OceanLife #EcoTravel #MarineEncounters #TravelDeeper #ExploreTheSea #WildAndFree #SlowTravel #NatureMoments #ReefLife #SailingWithPurpose

The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) can grow up to 3 meters (10 feet) long and weigh over 70 kg (150 lbs)! Here are some facts about Komodo Dragons: Venomous Bite Once thought to kill with bacteria, scientists now know that Komodo dragons have venom glands that prevent blood clotting, helping them take down large prey. Excellent Hunters They can run up to 20 km/h (12 mph) in short bursts and have a keen sense of smell—using their long, forked tongue to “taste” the air. Cannibalistic Tendencies Komodo dragons sometimes eat their own young! To survive, baby dragons often hide in trees for their first few years. Ancient Survivors These creatures have been around for millions of years and are considered living fossils. Learn more, get involved, and help protect their habitat today #komododragons #lizards
