This 9-day journey explores the diverse waters of North Sulawesi and Halmahera, transitioning from the famed macro haven of the Lembeh Straits to more remote and vibrant reef systems. Expect an incredible spectrum of marine life, from rare critters nestled in sandy shallows to healthy coral gardens teeming with reef fish around Bangka and Tifore. The Goriachi Islands offer a chance for encounters with larger pelagics in deeper waters.
