Island Hopping Indonesia (Raja Ampat, Bali & more!)

Follow along as Sea|mester’s 112ft schooner, STV Vela, sails through Indonesia’s most breathtaking islands. From diving bucket-list-worthy coral reefs in Raja Ampat to chasing legendary surf breaks in Bali (with a tsunami warning somewhere along the way!), this video captures the unforgettable highlights of our 2025 summer semester. Originally setting sail from Fiji, Vela’s final leg takes 18 students on the adventure of a lifetime: exploring remote anchorages, learning the ropes of schooner sailing and experiencing some of the most unique moments Sea|mester has to offer. Whether you’re curious about sailing through Indonesia, dreaming of studying abroad on a sailboat, or just love travel and adventure content, this video is for you!
