Alor, Bunaken and Raja Ampat Snorkel Safari

At our first stop in Alor, you will no doubt be blown away by the sheer beauty of the marine life and reefscapes just beneath the surface. There is also the possibility of coming across a couple of the ocean's most iconic inhabitants, like a superpod of dolphins and melon head whales, giant ocean sunfish, and even blue whales as we move from site to site. Here in Alor we base ourselves in the secluded resort called Alami Alor, where we will be the only guests and will have exclusive access to their house reefs and embark on snorkeling excursions multiple times a day. We'll then move over to the north of Sulawesi where we'll be based in the award-winning Siladen Resort. From this tiny tropical island, we'll explore the best snorkeling sites in one of Indonesia's oldest marine protected areas, Bunaken National Park. From the comfort of a lovely island resort,  we'll be able to explore all the area's best reefs with ease. Bunaken is famous for a lot of things, but it's most known for its massive turtle population. As we explore the shallow coral plateaus that extend from the different islands we are sure to see multiple turtles as they come to the surface for a quick breath or just cruise over the reefs. The final leg of this amazing tour will be spent in Raja Ampat, at the wonderful Papua Explorers resort, located in the heart of the Raja Ampat archipelago. Within just a few minutes of the resort, there is a huge variety of snorkeling sites that play host to some of the most diverse marine habitats found anywhere on the planet. Expect truly pristine coral gardens packed with hard and soft corals that carpet the island slopes all the way up to the surface. Masses of fish life explode from the reefs, with good chances of swimming next to bigger fish such as manta rays, reef sharks, and schools of barracuda and jacks.
