A traditional village welcome in Raja Ampat, Indonesia — drums, headdresses and a dance the whole community turns out for.
In some places, a welcome is more than words. Then a hand reaches out and pulls you into the circle.
We arrange village visits on our Raja Ampat voyages with the community beforehand. We come as invited visitors, not an audience.

Twelve days sailing Maumere to Ambon by traditional phinisi — a Rare Routes voyage through eastern Indonesia, September 2026.
A village school turned out to meet us. Gongs and a sword dance under the trees. Reefs we had entirely to ourselves. A dugong that surfaced beside us in the shallows and stayed.
The Rare Routes go where the schedules don't. Twelve days, eleven nights, and a crew who make the whole thing look easy.
