Travel advice

Getting to Indonesia

Indonesia has several International airports and the one you choose will be dependent on your liveboard cruise itinerary. The most common points of entry are Bali (for our Komodo Trips) and Jakarta (for our Raja Ampat Trips).

For Raja Ampat

International Flights to Jakarta

Raja Ampat itineraries depart from Sorong, which can be reached via Jakarta, Bali or Manado. The simplest route is via Jakarta, however if you are planning to extend your stay within Indonesia for further diving or tours in Sulawesi you may opt to travel via Manado. Embarkation is at 13.00 hr and disembarkation is at 10.00 hr.

Extra notes

Embarkation day: If you plan an early morning flight arrival into Sorong airport, please contact our reservations team to arrange the day use facilities of a local hotel.
Disembarkation day: If your flight out of Sorong departs later than 10.00 hr, our driver will transfer you to a restaurant near the airport where you can relax and wait for your flight in comfort.

For Komodo

International Flights to Bali

If you are travelling on a Komodo dive safari we recommend booking your international flights into and out of the Denpasar Airport, Bali (DPS). We wish to bring you quickly into the Komodo National Park to make the most of your diving experience. Therefore we have chosen Bima, on the island of Sumbubwa, as our departure point. Our team can arrange your short domestic flight connections between Bali and Bima (BMU), it is recommended to spend at least one night in Bali either side of your cruise to ensure you are on time for your domestic connection. Our travel team will advise you of the most up to date domestic connnection schedule, however it is typical that flights Bali - Bima depart prior to 12pm whilst the Bima-Bali flights usually arrive into Denpasar Airport by 1pm.
