Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and its surrounding regions are true paradises both on earth and below the surface of their pristine waters. Sail through channels dotted with small, uninhabited islands, and hop into Zodiacs or kayaks to have white-sand beaches to yourself. Dive or snorkel among vibrant marine life from Raja Ampat to the Phi Phi Islands, and spot Komodo dragons, orangutans, and red birds of paradise in their natural habitats.
Heartily welcomed by friendly villagers, discover life in rarely explored places full of ancient rituals and traditional art. Add in the cosmopolitan delights of Singapore and Bali and the pull of this far-flung, diverse region becomes impossible to ignore.
