Take a unique marine journey with a Cheng Ho Liveaboard Private Charter on a 5D4N luxury expedition to two of Indonesia’s best dive spots: the beautiful wilderness of Alor and the famous seas of Komodo National Park. This private trip is only for divers and adventure enthusiasts who want to visit the best of both worlds: Alor’s spectacular seamounts and exciting drift dives, as well as Komodo’s famous manta ray encounters and colorful coral ecosystems. Your group will have a custom itinerary that includes Alor’s famous Kal’s Dream for schooling hammerheads and pelagic activity, as well as Komodo’s famous Manta Alley and the stunning coral pyramids of Batu Bolong. The beautiful Cheng Ho, with its huge deck space and traditional phinisi style, becomes your own luxury expedition ship. A dedicated crew, private chef, and expert dive guides will work around your schedule to make sure you have the best conditions for both wide-angle and macro photography during your trip.
This private charter for five days is the ultimate mix of adventure and luxury. It gives you full access to two different marine paradises while still being flexible and exclusive, which is only possible with private travel. Your group has entire freedom to plan each day. You can schedule morning dives at Alor’s current-swept pinnacles, take your time traversing between islands while looking for dolphins and whales, and then experience Komodo’s legendary biodiversity with repeated manta ray encounters and stunning wall dives. The Cheng Ho is great for both underwater photographers and vacationers since it is quite stable and has a lot of room. Its traditional workmanship makes it the perfect place to make memories in two of Indonesia’s most famous dive areas. This is the best dual-destination experience for people who want both world-class diving and luxury that doesn’t compromise. Ask today to plan your own private trip across the Coral Triangle on Indonesia’s most famous luxury phinisi.

The Cheng Ho is a dream for underwater photographers. The camera room is great because it has charging stations and work desks just for it. The dive guides are great for photographers since they put us in the best spot for the image and pointed out small creatures we would have missed. My portfolio is a lot better now!
