Forgotten Islands & Bandasee, 11 Nächte, ab Saumlaki/bis AmbonSaumlaki in the Tanimbar Islands group of West Maluku serves as the gateway to a group of remote islands known as the Forgotten Islands. This group of islands stretches for almost 1000 kilometres from Timor across the Banda Sea to West Papua. Liveaboard boats are the only way to experience the Forgotten Islands and Saumlaki is generally the point of departure. There are endless diving opportunities and some islands and dive sites are so remote you will wonder if anyone has ever seen what you are seeing. The visibility in the Forgotten Islands is generally excellent, especially arounf the islands formed by volcanic activity. Sites can reach from shallow much dives to over 40 meters deep and water temperatures stay around 27°c – 30°c.On a liveaboard cruise on Tiaré you can expect to dive 3 or 4 times a day depending on the weather conditions and currents. Some of the most famous dive sites you will visit are Nil Desperandum, Wetar, Nunukae, Leti, Babar, Pantar, Palu and Nusa Laut. We are also open to creating a tailor-made itinerary so you get to do the type of diving you love most. You’ll have the chance to dive rugged rocky outcrops, spectacular coral reefs and walls with hard and soft corals, black sands where smaller creatures bury themselves and of course huge pelagic species like white and black tip reef sharks, hammerheads, barracuda, majestic manta rays and gigantic groupers. There is no shortage of sea life to be explored around the Forgotten Islands and you will get to see more than you could ever imagine while on a liveaboard cruise on the luxury Tiaré.Getting to SaumlakiSaumlaki is very remote and can take a number of flights to reach. The easiest way is usually flying from Jakarta to Ambon and then on to Saumlaki where Tiare will be waiting for you.
