Be a MemberThe Pindito Liveaboard 12D11N Sorong to Manado excursion will take you on the adventure of a lifetime through Indonesia’s most beautiful marine biodiversity hotspots. This high-end route links two world-class diving spots. It starts in Sorong with the stunning reefs of Raja Ampat, which are home to famous locations like Blue Magic and Cape Kri. Then it goes north to Manado to see the famous Bunaken Marine Park and Lembeh Strait. On the famed Pindito, you’ll go on up to four dives a day with skilled guides. You’ll see everything from majestic manta rays and schooling barracuda in Raja Ampat to uncommon creatures like the mimic octopus and hairy frogfish in Lembeh’s famous muck diving locations. This trip lasts 12 days, which is a long time for divers to explore these very diverse underwater habitats. It’s the best tour for divers who want to see both wide-angle coral wonderlands and amazing macro diving in one spectacular trip.
The Pindito Liveaboard is perfect for picky divers. It has large en-suite cabins, excellent meals, and personalized service for only 16 passengers, so you can have a private and uncrowded experience. While you’re on the boat, you can relax on the sun deck, see beautiful islands, visit traditional towns, or help protect the ocean. This one-of-a-kind Sorong to Manado itinerary is one of the most complete liveaboard experiences in Indonesia. It includes the stunning coral reefs of Raja Ampat, the towering walls of Bunaken, and the famous muck diving in Lembeh. This is a unique chance to see all of Indonesia’s underwater beauties in the most comfortable way possible. There are only a few departures each year, so book soon to get your seat on this bucket-list diving expedition in the Coral Triangle!
