Day 1 - Embarkation

• You will be picked up in style by our staff offering oshibori and refreshing mineral water, from the airport in Sorong and taken directly to the harbour to board Prana. Today we set sail towards Mioskon, which teases guests with a flavour of all the delights that await in Raja Ampat including blue skies, pristine pellucid oceans and some of the best diving on earth.

  
  

• Relax with a massage on deck, cooled by the gentle sea breeze or recline on one of the many day beds with a good book. Lie back and embrace the freedom of the ocean. Enjoy being waited on by our discreet staff and sampling the delights of the fine dining menu.

Day 2 - Cape Kri & Yenbuba

• Sailing through the night, you wake up in Cape Kri. After a delicious breakfast, the day will be ruled by ocean activities: snorkelling, diving, wakeboarding, water skiing and paddle boarding. Cape Kri is exceptional as it holds the World Record for the largest number of species referenced in one single dive. Tick off the ‘must see’ list of nudibranches, sea dragons, blue-striped flagtail pipefish, pygmy seahorses, green sea turtles, giant Napoleon wrasse, and Indian lionfish. Likewise, there are abundant untouched corals gardens and sea fans that serve as homes for large schools of colourful small fish.

  
  

  From here we move to Yenbuba which is located right next to Kri. Drop anchor and take to the shores to be met by friendly villagers and appreciate the unspoiled natural beauty of this extraordinary island and the ancient customs of its residents.

Day 3 - Manta Sandy & Arborek

• The day starts with a relaxed healthy breakfast followed by an underwater safari in search of the Giant Manta Ray. The Manta Sandy dive site is located close to Mansuar Island and is shallow, suitable for both diving and snorkelling.

  
  

  After a lovely lunch, Prana cruises to the small yet beautiful island of Arborek. Divers can simply plunge into the water from the pier to be instantly engulfed in a glittering array of spectacular coral fans and walls of fish, just below the surface.

  The local people in Arborek are very welcoming and industrious, creating unusual handicrafts from sea pandan leaves. They live as they have done for thousands of years and are just one of many indigenous tribes within the region. Return to the boat to be engulfed in luxury, take a massage in the spa before sunset drinks and a delectable fine dining feast bringing this magical day to a perfect close.  

Day 4 - Wayag

• Today we rise early to sail to Pulau Hatta which is one of the best-kept diving secrets in this region. Long white sandy beaches and the fronds of tropical palms offer stunning photo opportunities while under the waves you will find schooling fish, big pelagics and great macro life. 

  
  

  Snorkel, dive, fish, waterski, wakeboard or kayak and then set sail for Hatta Island to enjoy a relaxing afternoon walk on the lovely spice plantation and toast the end of another perfect day with sunset drinks and a mouth-watering feast. Afterwards maybe book an evening massage in your cabin and relax in perfect comfort. 

Day 5 - Aljui Bay

• We set sail early in the morning to Kawe so we can cross the equator underwater while you snorkel or dive surrounded by magnificent Giant Manta Rays. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

  
  

  After a lunch served either on the deck or in the air-conditioned salon, we sail to Aljui Bay. Here we visit the Atlas Pearl Farm, a far-flung yet gorgeous location where some of the world's best South Sea pearls are to be found. Tour the farm and learn more about these natural wonders. Loose pearls and jewels are available as prized mementoes.

  For the intrepid on board, Aljui Bay is notably home to some of the most fabulous night-diving in Raja Ampat. Sink below the ocean and revel in the spectacular array of colours revealed by the dark. This really is like visiting another planet.

Day 6 - Wofoh

• Enjoy a laid-back breakfast on the deck after a sunrise yoga class. Launch kayaks or take a tender to explore the beautiful bay. This spot is just outside of the National Park so all the watersports are once again at your disposal. The diving here is also unbelievable with endless coral gardens and a high species count.

  
  

  Return to the boat for an informal lunch served on deck by our lovely staff. Snorkelling, diving and watersports fill the rest of your afternoon, before cocktails and a BBQ on a deserted tropical beach. Take a massage in the salon before falling into bed after another amazing day. Overnight we sail to the islands of Pef and Yengefo.

Day 7 - Pef & Yengefo

• Wake up in the idyllic destination of Pulau Pef and take breakfast alfresco on the main deck after an early morning yoga class. Pulau Pef’s small inlets, bays and crystal-clear lagoons make it perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. The water’s edge is surrounded by ancient mangrove trees, these are unusual as the water here is not murky at all revealing a vast underwater system of gnarled roots and aquatic life.

  Marvel at pre-historic hand paintings on the limestone cliffs. Snorkel or dive caverns and overhangs, spot hard and soft corals, keep an eye out for pygmy seahorses and the rare endemic walking shark.

  
  

  After lunch, sail to Yangefo to dive or snorkel with turtles, stingrays and schools of snapper and fusilier fish. Enjoy dinner followed by a trip to the one and only cinema under the stars before retiring to your comfortable cabin. We set sail to Sorong overnight.

Day 7 - Disembarkation
