    Suggestions for our third (land based) Indonesian dive holiday?

    If you are already in Labuan Bajo I think it makes sense to continue your trip visiting the island of Flores, as mbode said, and then continue to Alor. I stayed at Petit Kepa last August, and I think you would enjoy it there. Some of the rooms are very simple, but the most expensive ones are...

    Best Indonesian Quicky (limited time)

    There are also other places to stay in Raja Ampat and some will be more flexible with duration of your stay and day of arrival. Have a look at Papua Paradise Eco Resort, Raja Ampat Biodiversity, Wai Eco Resort. On the other hand I would advise to stay for 2 weeks as there is so much to see. It...

    Raja for 5 days? Worth it?

    Have a look at Raja Ampat Biodiversity Eco Resort - Accommodation-Diving-Courses I have not stayed there, but it seems you can arrive every day of the week and stay as long as you want and it si about the price you're willing to pay.

    Advice: flights to Sorong and Indonesian travel agents

    I took a similar flight nearly two years ago. Lion Air Jakarta Ambon and Wings Ambon Nabire. We had about 30 minutes in Ambon. In Jakarta the luggage was checked in untill Nabire. So we did not have to do anything about it in Ambon. The Lion Air flight was a big plane and we had 20kg allowance...

    Banda and Ambon pics

    Thank you very much for replying to so many questions. I visited Indonesia for the first time in 1996 and it is 10 years now that I want to visit Banda, but the difficulties to visit Banda, the lack of time and then it is such a big country with so many interesting places made me choose other...

    Banda and Ambon pics

    I enjoyed your pictures/film very much and thank you for all the useful information. Some more questions. NBA planes are small. Is it right that there is a 10 kg limit for luggage and is it possible to pay for extra luggage? Did you bring your own gear or did you rent dive gear from Blue Motion...

    Diving Ambon--operators?

    I have been to Lembeh three times. Rubbish was bad. The situation was much worse when diving in Ambon. I was diving Ambon february 2011. Even though it was the right season to dive Ambon we were not very lucky with the weather. Skies were always grey, the sea was quite rough, the walls at...

    Diving Ambon--operators?

    I dived with Malukku Divers. They are a very professional and expierenced dive operator. Samuel is a fantastic spotter. The resort is comfortable. What I didn't like was all the rubbish. I know that this is muck diving, but when you can't see the sand on the beach because it is comletely covered...

    Trip report: Ahe Resort Papua, October 2012

    I stayed at Ahe for nine nights in august 2011. I did love it, but my experience was similar. It was impossible to do three dives a day. They would tell you you were to dive at nine in the morning but nobody was there at the dive center, Arne usually was at Nabire, and the dive guide from...

    Lembeh Resort or Kungkungan Bay Resort? Can't decide. Please help.

    I stayed at Lembeh Resort three years ago. I enjoyed it very much and the diving was fantastic. Boats and dive guides were very good. One thing that made me choose Lembeh Resort is that it is on Lembeh island and not on the mainland, so you have nice views of the volcanoes and sunsets from your...

    Raja Ampat Liveaboard

    I think it will be very difficult to find a boat to charter for february. I was searching for information about Banda the other day and I found some information about a liveaboard called Tiger Blue that you can charter and if their website is right they should be available for private charters...
