LIVEABOARD: CRUISES FOR SCUBA DIVERS

By boat in the largest archipelago in the world, sail and dive with the greatest biodiversity on the planet. There is no place like Indonesia to navigate in pristine environments, still remote areas without the slightest tourist structure, and which you can reach and visit with maximum comfort. Yes, only by liveaboard. Cruising Indonesia is at home in these seas.


TAILOR-TRAVELS

Cruising Indonesia provides personalised trips that can range from a simple but unforgettable stay in a dream resort, to photographic expeditions to meet the last tribes of Papua, attend the Pasola ritual in Sumba, or even navigate along a Borneo river in search of orangutangs. We organise complex scientific research trips both by sea or by land.


HOW TO BUILD A SAILING BOAT IN MODERN TIMES

We are expert builders of boat dedicated to diving trips. Some of the most fascinating and successful liveaboards of the Indonesian diving industry have been designed and built by us, with modern techniques and attention to detail. Cruising Indonesia is always active in the search for new techniques to improve the quality of traditional sailing boat, the Phinisi.
