Day 01. Sanur.

Cruising and sailing Indonesia’s vast archipelago allows us to experience native cultures and

traditions, sea-gypsies and nomadic sea-life. The famous Komodo dragon, a giant lizard that has

lived isolated from the outside world for thousands of years in the Komodo archipelago is one

of the highlights of this tour along with beautiful beaches, including the unique red beach,

exotic sceneries and eclectic destinations that only can be reached by using our traditional

Phinisi schooner, KM Bidadari.

The Indonesia archipelago stretches along the “rings of fire”, a series of volcanic islands that

includes Mt Tambora (a great eruption in 1885) in Sumbawa, Mt Rinjani in Lombok, “wishing

crater” Lake Satonda island and Mt Sangeang (a volcanic sea mountain) are the highlights of

this cruise.

Kuta area. Here you can enjoy some fine coffee and cake before we leave. After some

refreshments we will head to Amuk Bay where KM Bidadari anchors and awaits us.

1815, one of the biggest eruptions in history is a sight you won’t forget. Swimming at Satonda

saltwater lakes will give you the different sensations due to the higher buoyancy of the water.

Some people believed that by hanging a small rock in the wishing tree will make their wish

come true, and when it is you will have to return visit to the tree (that will be your next cruise

with us!). In the afternoon we will spend time beachcombing, beach volleyball or snorkeling in

as they commute at dusk to seek for food in the main land.
