Journeys
of Discovery

For more intrepid travellers, a Journey of Discovery aboard Tiger Blue to some of the region’s more off the beaten track destinations is the ultimate sea safari.

Tiger Blue’s twice yearly voyages from Komodo to Raja Ampat and vice versa offer guests a unique opportunity to explore some of the remoter corners of Eastern Indonesia. From dramatically coloured volcanic lakes on Flores and the rich tribal cultures of Alor, to the rarely visited Banda Islands, these journeys are ideal for those looking to venture to the edge of the Pacific’s Ring of Fire.

Highlights of Eastern Indonesia

Visit historic fortresses

Dutch Fortresses

In order to secure control of the nutmeg trade in the early 1600s, the Dutch built their first fort on the island of Banda – Fort Nassau. This was shortly followed by Belgica to fortify the hill. The fort served as the main military and administrative base of the Dutch in the Banda Islands for many years.

Take in the vivid colours of the volcanic lakes

Volcanic Lakes

Set at 1000m above sea level are the three crater lakes of Kelimutu, a dormant volcano on the island of Flores. Each lakes colour changes periodically according to the volcanic activity and varying mineral content at the time. The water tends to be a varying shade of reds or greens.

Witness the power and might of an active volcano

Batu Tara Volcano

Witness the power of the pacific ring of fire on which Indonesia sits by watching an active volcano in all its glory. From the comfort of the deck, marvel at fiery eruptions and lava cascading into the sea – at a safe distance, of course.

Meet the locals

Local Tribes

There are over 100 tribes living on the islands of Alor. Set in relative isolation, a traditional way of life continues in many of its villages. Witness the traditional lego-lego dance, binding together young and old, with everyone dancing hand in hand.
