Indonesian people are very easygoing and would rarely tell you if you are doing something that offends them. However, here are a few things to think about while you are in Indonesia:

• Do not give or take anything with your left hand, as it is considered impure.
  
• Do not touch children's heads, as this part of the body is considered to be the home of the human soul.
  
• Do not blow your nose while eating. It is best to get up and step away from the table.
  
• In busy areas, keep your shirt on (unless on the beach of course).
  
• Hands on hips are a sign of defiance, especially when talking to someone.
  
• Ask questions. When visiting a religious site, taking part in a religious practice, or simply touring a town, ask lots of questions to your Indonesian guides and friends. Indonesians are incredibly proud of their culture and are happy to share. This is also true if you are not sure how to act or feel uncomfortable in a situation – ask questions to make sure you are following proper Indonesian etiquette.

Enjoy a first check dive along the reefs of Saonek Kecil before relaxing on the pristine beach nearby for a well-deserved sunset after this journey to the last frontiers of the Indonesian Archipelago.

After a cocktail and a delicious dinner, spend your first night and get ready for the adventure to begin!

An early wake up and a short hike would allow you to witness the mating ritual of rare endemic Red Birds of Paradise.

After breakfast, get the chance to visit the picturesque Christian village of Arborek. Thirty minutes to walk the entire coastline of the island and witness the peacefulness and hospitality of the local people.

The reefs nearby foster an exuberant marine life for a refreshing snorkel or dive below the jetty.

Later that day, the boat will moor in the middle of the mangroves of Yanggefo where the lush green of the sea trees contrasts with the crystal blue water. You can take a kayak to get lost in one of the many little canals they create while listening to the concert of birds surrounding you, from white parrots to the endemic species of hornbill.

A dive in the mangrove is also a unique experience to witness the soft coral growth in the roots hosting juvenile species of fish.

On the way to the Wayag Islands, we cross the Equator to the Northern hemisphere to reach the last paradise on earth, a large bay with hundreds of mushroom-like islets, white sandy beaches, black tip reef sharks and manta rays cruising in the turquoise-blue water.

There you will live the once in a lifetime experience of swimming with the local population of black tip sharks in shallow water.

Later in the afternoon, you will get to climb Mount Pindito for a superb viewpoint, or just glide effortlessly above lush coral garders where baby sharks and mantas find shelter.

Get your kayak and explore this labyrinth, a true wonder of nature.

Visit Sauwandarek Jetty and experience some world-class diving, while probably being watched by some of the local smiling children from the jetty!

You will probably meet the giant turtles, Napoleons, barracudas, and many other schooling fish around this coral garden just under the jetty.

On the east side of the same island, you can hike up to an impressive viewpoint, literally dive into the highest measured underwater biodiversity on the planet inhabiting the nearby reefs and finally spend the sunset on one of the sandbanks.

In the early morning, you will sail east to Mayalibit Bay. A short speedboat ride will take you through the lush Papuan jungle all the way to a natural spring where you can bathe in crystal freshwater, surrounded by the incredible nature of the bay - well protected by its local and dedicated community. You will then enjoy a small waterfall hidden in the jungle with 3 different levels.

After this experience, you will spend the rest of the afternoon on the island of Mioskon where it’s not rare to see fruit bats flying at sunset.

Later that evening, you will sail back to Sorong to arrive early morning.

After a delicious breakfast and farewells, the crew will arrange your transfer to the airport for your flight to Bali. You'll have unforgettable memories of this trip.

Upon arrival in Denpasar, you will meet your guide in the arrivals hall and proceed by private transfer to your hotel in Ubud. The drive takes about 90 minutes.
