PARADISE FOUND!
Join us on a voyage of discovery to one of the few remaining untouched corners of the globe. Stroll empty stretches of powdery white sand on jungle-clad islands which rise from pristine blue seas; trek through ancient rainforest to discover cascading waterfalls; seek out rare orchids, tree kangaroos and some of the world’s finest birds; visit remote villages to see tribal culture which is virtually unaffected by the modern world. Snorkel, scuba dive or view through glass-bottomed boat a stunning marine environment with striking colourful corals and a myriad of fish from the tiniest pygmy seahorse through to the majestic whale shark.
Scuba And Snorkel.
The Spice Islands is a world class tropical diving destination.
The region has one of the world’s largest marine national parks and is home to over 1,300 species of coral reef fish, 600 species of hard coral and 50 species of mantis shrimp. The diversity of the region ranges from pygmy seahorses, frogfish, and nudibranchs up to manta rays, dolphins, turtles and whale sharks.
You will spoilt by the conveniences offered by the facilities of the purpose built ship and water temperatures ranging between 25-28degrees celsius.
Dive Instructors patiently guide those who have never dived before through a resort dive program and expertly guide certified open-water divers to quality dive sites on the reef and around the islands. A comprehensive range of dive equipment, including wet-suits is provided.
