We have an amazing trip to Raja Ampat set for November 2024. This trip which is a bucket list trip for many will include at least 7 days/8 nights at a luxury resort with access to the best dives in the region which will be stunning. We also have planned sightseeing options after the diving standard package but divers will have the option to either stay diving at the resort longer or mix more diving with some of the sightseeing options. Either way we will be able to be flexible to accommodate various options.

We also have an opportunity to complete an orangutan experience in the Borneo forests which will also be amazing. We already have great interest in the trip and we will be booking flights in the next few days. If you are interested in the trip and have not yet emailed me to confirm then you can email me on [email protected]. Once I know your interest I can add you to the group and send you further information.
