Few places have the power to
evoke such exotic imagery as the islands of Indonesia. Bali, Lombok,
Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Alor - these, and thousands of other islands lie scattered
like a broken necklace across an azure sea. Now you can explore and
scuba dive this
vast island nation in an exciting new way - aboard the traditional Dutch
schooner Adelaar.
Come aboard and appreciate the relaxed pace and style of a bygone era.
Prepare to be astounded by dramatic landscapes: from lush volcanic islands
in the west, eastward to gently sloped, tawny outcroppings - lair of the
Komodo Dragon, the world's largest species of lizard.
The voyage of the Adelaar is a true adventure in that each trip is
unique. Different islands are visited depending on tides, weather, and our
most recent experiences. Swim, snorkel or dive world-class reefs, and explore the
shores of remote, uninhabited islands.
Take a glimpse of the protected
underwater world of the Komodo National Park, and you will be thrilled
beyond all expectations. Nowhere in the world will you find such diverse and
colorful marine life. Our onboard Dive Master/Cruise Coordinator will be
your guide into this underwater realm.
Every voyage seems to produce a singular experience. One witnessed a blazing
comet streaking across the expansive heavens; another followed a whale as it
lazily surfaced; still another glimpsed the red glow of volcanic Sangeang
burping just after sunset. But it's the sight of the huge Komodo Dragon, so
clearly unafraid of humans, that amazes even the most widely traveled
visitor.
The rich ethnic and religious diversity of Indonesia is legendary, and you
will witness a spectrum of exotic culture. Our bilingual
Cruise Director makes certain
that your interactions with local peoples are meaningful and sensitive.
Based in Benoa Harbor, Bali, Indonesia, the Adelaar sails east
along the Nusa Tenggara chain and to other parts
of Indonesia. The Adelaar
is available for individual and group charter and invites you to come along
for an extraordinary adventure.
