Take a private charter on the Sea Safari VI Liveaboard and go on an amazing adventure through Indonesia’s famous Spice Islands. The trip will last 8 days and 7 nights and will take you from Ambon, the muck-diving capital, to the historic reefs of the Banda Sea. This private charter is only for picky divers and thrill-seekers who want to find the perfect balance between world-class macro photography and exploring unspoiled reefs. Your party will have a custom itinerary that includes Ambon’s famous Laha Bay, which is home to unique creatures like the psychedelic frogfish and rhinopias. After that, you’ll go to the Banda Sea for amazing wall dives, colorful coral gardens, and ancient sites like Banda Neira and Hatta Island. The famous Sea Safari VI, known for its ability to travel on the ocean and its luxurious amenities, becomes your own expedition ship. A dedicated crew, a private chef, and expert dive guides will cater to your schedule, making sure that the conditions are perfect for both macro photography and exploring the reef.
This private charter lasts for 8 days, which is the perfect amount of time to see all that the Spice Islands have to offer while yet having the freedom and privacy that only private travel can provide. You and your group have complete freedom to plan each day. You can spend the mornings taking pictures of Ambon’s rare macro species, the afternoons diving at Banda’s pelagic-rich sites, visiting historic nutmeg plantations and colonial forts, or just relaxing on the ship’s large sun decks as you cruise through these famous waters. The Sea Safari VI is great for long trips because it is quite stable and has a lot of room. It can comfortably hold both serious underwater photographers and recreational vacationers. This is the best way to enjoy the Spice Islands for people who want both world-class diving and luxury that doesn’t compromise.

I felt fully at home as a solitary tourist. The staff and other guests were very nice. I rented a twin share and got a great roommate. The big lounge and sun decks are great places to hang out with other people or find a quiet spot to read.
