Life On Board

Bajau provides a boutique cruising experience with only a handful of guests on board, ensuring privacy, tranquility, and personalized service. The elegantly appointed cabins feature en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and traditional wooden interiors that exude warmth and authenticity. On deck, guests can lounge in open-air spaces, dine under the stars, or unwind in the shaded lounge areas as the breathtaking scenery drifts by. The highly skilled crew, including an expert chef and knowledgeable guides, ensure that every need is met while providing deep insights into the region’s rich cultural and natural history.

Itinerary Options & Highlight Excursions

Bajau embarks on bespoke itineraries through Indonesia’s most remarkable marine landscapes, each offering a unique blend of adventure and discovery. In Komodo National Park, trek through rugged islands to spot the iconic Komodo dragon, snorkel in manta ray hotspots, and bask on the famous Pink Beach, or head to Raja Ampat and dive or snorkel in what is widely considered the most biodiverse marine environment on Earth, with kaleidoscopic reefs, exotic marine creatures, and breathtaking limestone islands.

Further afield, behold the Banda Sea and Spice Islands and step back in time in these historic islands, where colonial forts, vibrant markets, and ancient nutmeg plantations tell tales of the legendary spice trade, or make your way to Alor and the Forgotten Islands and venture off the beaten path to discover remote villages, volcanic landscapes, and untouched diving sites teeming with life.

There is also a rare, special guest-led hosted wildlife, conservation and community experience taking in the Banggai Archipelago alongside marine ecologist Dr. Angie Brathwaite where lucky guests will get to discover how Marine Protected Areas are managed—from daily ranger patrols
to coral reef science and community-driven conservation—and meet the people behind the protection, spending time with local communities whose lives are shaped by the sea, and learn about their role in safeguarding these waters. Not only that, but you’ll also develop your very own marine biologist skills, learning to identify coral and fish species, track reef health, and record your sightings like a scientist.

A Journey Beyond the Ordinary

Aboard Bajau, every moment is an invitation to discover something extraordinary. Whether you’re diving with manta rays, trekking uninhabited islands, or simply soaking in the magic of the Indonesian sunset from the deck, this is an experience that will leave you in awe of the world’s hidden wonders. Perfect for adventurous groups of friends or families, nature lovers, or simply those seeking escape in remote paradise, Bajau promises a voyage of a lifetime.
