Sail from the tranquil shores of Bali to the wildlife-rich paradise islands of Indonesia with Aqua Blu. With tropical ports-of-call across Indonesia including Moyo Island, Komodo Island, Padar Islands and Horseshoe Bay, you can immerse yourself in these fascinating islands with plenty of wildlife-spotting and hiking activities. Experience all of this at your chosen time, as Aqua Expeditions is departing the coast of Bali at various points in 2024, with the option of doing the cruise in reverse.

Begin your Indonesian journey with a three-night, pre-cruise stay in Bali. Wake up in a deluxe room and enjoy a delicious breakfast at Nusa Dua Beach Resort before a day basking in pristine sands and beaming sun. Explore what Bali has to offer, from wildlife and marine creatures to the tranquil beaches and welcoming locals. After exploring the best of Bali, it’s time to voyage to your first port of call, Moyo Island. You’ll arrive here just as the sun is setting behind the lush hills, making for picturesque views of the fishing villages.

After encountering the majestic whale sharks in your next destination, Saleh Bay, you’ll then sail to Komodo Island. Here, you’ll come close to the dense population of Komodo dragons, and experience relaxing snorkelling in the bay of Batu Moncho. If you enjoy watersports, you can enjoy an early morning kayaking session from the ship. Enjoy sailing atop the shallow coral reef through a current-swept passage whilst spotting rusa deer. After hiking up the savannah hill, voyage to Horseshoe Bay for spectacular views of the ancient volcano caldera.

Before your trip comes to an end, you’ll be enjoying a drift snorkel along the rainbow reef, alive with marine creatures that are attracted to its colours. Finally, you’ll sail to Labuan Bajo to catch your outbound flight back to the UK. 

Experience your adventures with all-inclusive comforts brought to you by Aqua Blu. Sip on selected premium house wines, beers or soft drinks while taking in the scenes of sweeping oceans. When you’re ready to take the plunge into the sea, Aqua Expeditions will provide you with snorkelling equipment.

When its time to recharge, do so in their suites carefully designed to give you a soothing nights' sleep. Wake up to breathtaking views through your portholes or windows, or snuggle back into your comfortable king sized or twin bed. Enjoy the suite's amenities including two hours of complimentary access per day to the high-speed Starlink WiFi.

The people of Bali will welcome you with open arms as they are keen for you to experience the best of the island.

After discovering the best of what Bali has to offer, it’s time to take a private transfer to Benoa Marina, ready to board Aqua Blu and begin your voyage.
Arrive in Moyo Island as the sun dips behind the sweeping, lush hills. Spend the day exploring the spectacular waterfall at the centre of the island, and keep a keen eye out for the wildlife along the way including wild boar, sea eagles and osprey. Snorkel in the pristine waters and marvel at the colourful reefs and curious, tropical fish.
The ocean surrounding Saleh Bay is home to friendly whale sharks that you can encounter up close as you sail through. In the afternoon, enjoy a session of kayaking in the crater of the extinct Sattonda volcano.
