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).
All Raja Ampat liveaboard cruises 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. Typical schedules allow for arrival into Sorong before 12pm and your departure flight should arrive to your international destination by 2pm.
