Straddling the equator and scattered across the heart of the Coral Triangle, the 17,000 islands of Indonesia are as diverse as they are remote. Volcanic ridgelines give way to lush rainforests, and the world’s richest reefs flourish beneath the surface. And at the heart of Indonesia is Raja Ampat, an archipelago of islands that showcase the region’s most spellbinding landscapes and wildlife. Aboard the elegant Lamima, EYOS invites you to dive deep into this remote paradise with expert-led encounters. Here are 10 of our favorite itinerary options for your customizable expedition above and below the waterline.
