Following is information and itineraries for all available cruises.

komodo island & national marine park

The Komodo National Marine Park, officially declared a World Heritage Site in 1991, encompasses 132,000 hectares of marine waters making it one of the largest protected zones on the planet. The number and variety of islands including Komodo, Rinca and Padar, combined with current, wave action and wind exposure, result in an incredible variety of coastal and marine habitats.

irian jaya, raja empat islands

Irian Jaya (West Papua) is currently the hottest diving destination on the planet. Untouched landscapes rivaling those of the Pacific combined with world class dive sites make these islands the world's last scuba diving frontier.

irian jaya, banda sea & ambon

A combination of some of the most remote and sought after dive destinations on the planet. The cruise itineraries include Misool and the Rajah Empat Isands plus a voyage through the fabled Banda Sea stopping at Gunung Api and Banda Neira.

ambon, banda, alor & flores

Covering over 1000 nautical miles, crossing the Banda Sea from Ambon to Flores or vice versa this incredible route leads you into some of the most diverse areas in Indonesia in every aspect of marine life, culture and topside scenery. This trip is only available a few times per year so don’t miss out!

exploration diving

Indonesia, the world's largest archipelagic state, spans like a wide arc, (12% of the world's circumference), more than 5000 km of the equator, from mainland Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea. It has more than 80,000 km of coastline with 3.1 million square kilometers of tropical seas, much of which has never been explored by scuba divers.

For charter cruises the regular itinerary may be modified to explore other destinations or regions throughout the archipelago. During these cruises, divers have a chance to plunge into the unknown reefs of the Indonesian archipelago.

Always an enticing territory for the avid and adventurous explorer, exploration cruises provide a once in a lifetime experience, please contact kararu to create a customised itinerary tailored to your groups needs.
