Great diving, snorkeling and cave exploring around the rocky islands off South East Misool, the coral reefs of the Fam Island group, the fish and manta rays of the Dampier straight, the critter diving at Batanta and in Aljui Bay You can explore Cape Kri, which currently holds the world record for the largest number of different species spotted in one dive or other sites such as Batu Lima, Melissa’s Garden, Sardine Reef, Francisco’s Peak and many more are all options for those looking to explore under the surface. Village visits are unique throughout this region and birds of Paradise can been seen at various locations There are many islands and reefs still unexplored and many new highlights yet to be discovered… Often on the bucket list of many divers, Banda Sea is best explored via liveaboard because of its sheer vastness. The region is peppered with smoking volcanoes, and below the waves, schools of hammerheads and plenty of sea snakes can be found. During the cruise marine mammals such as whales and dolphins, this trip is guaranteed to provide amazing diversity and beauty both above and below the water Pristine clear waters, lovely walls and good fish life, you might go a bit deeper in search of more hammerheads, big fish, napoleons, schools of black snappers, bumpheads, etc. The diving around Ambon is great, the wreck in the bay is full of life, pilot whales sometimes come close to the pier, but without a doubt offers the best diving and an unforgettable experience. It is pure muck at its best: mimics, flamboyant cuttlefish, rhinopias, ribbon eels, Ambon scorpion fish, frog fish by the dozens, ghost pipe fish... you name it, it is all there.

There are white tips and grey reef sharks patrolling the depths and playful turtles can be spotted as well. Look out for the big group of bumphead parrotfish munching on the reef. For the very lucky hammerhead sharks and dugongs have occasionally been spotted here. Discover the remote Banda Islands, with mild current, good visibility and calm waters Large coral heads and a healthy reefs Schools of fusiliers, thousands of redtooth triggerfish and hundreds of schooling pyramid butterflyfish Many Mandarin fish performing the nightly mating ritual.

The sight of thousands of seabirds is unforgettable and the vision of a dozen sea snakes undulating and swimming underwater. The island’s reefs are also stunning and there is a good mix of coral-covered walls and slopes in all colours and sizes. Besides an outstanding variety of reef fish, you may also see some tuna, jacks and sharks. The Babar group of islands is usually the last stop before heading into Saumlaki.

★ 5 · None None · 2023-03-12Amazing liveaboard. This is my 15th liveaboard and it was one of the best! Rooms are spacious and updated. Boat layout is nice with plenty of space including a nice camera room. Staff is super helpful and friendly! They will carry your camera, help you with your fins and wetsuit, take care of your gear, etc. they are so helpful! The food was outstanding! Even their vegan and vegetarian options were so good. The schedule is perfect with 3-4 dives a day but you don’t feel too rushed. The boat had plenty of hot water for those of us that love a hot shower. Dive guides and cruise directors and helpful and fun to be around. I highly recommend this boat!
★ 5 · Valerie Dodge · 2019-08-24I dove with Adventurer in it’s first season in Raja Ampat in Feb of 2019 I believe during my Chinese New Years holiday. The boat was so new back then that the marketing team for Solitude was on board taking photos and videos I was still a relatively new diver and this was my second liveaboard (the first beginning a short 2 night trip for my AOW) I since done one in Belize and I can now say that Solitude Adventurer will probably always be my gold standard for liveaboards. Let’s talk about the boat first. In a previous life, SA was a private yacht. This double wide catamaran doesn’t even feel like you’re on a boat. Though lounge/dining area is huge and super comfortable. I believe all the cabins on the upper deck but one (the one I was in) have stunning floor to ceiling windows. Which i haven’t seen in many other ships. There’s a huge dive deck, a deck on the back where we all hung out at night and a lovely sun deck where we hung out in the afternoons and had a BBQ night. My one complaint was that there was only two lounge chairs on the sun deck there definitely was demand for more. There were 18 guests on board and I’m pretty sure there were 16 crew members and they took care of us so well. The dive guides where very friendly, knowledge and took great care of us. Every group of 4-5 guests get their own guide and these guys are great at spotting macro life. Because you go out in skiffs, every group gets dropped off at a different spot at the dive site so often times it does feel like you and your group are out there on your own until you cross paths with another group rounding the atoll which is fun. The dives at the cleaning stations can be a bit crowded but you don’t really care because you spend 40 minutes watching mantas swim over. One one dive I even had an oceanic manta come check me out, he landed on top of me and I was literally under it’s wing for a good few minutes! You also really max your dives since the skiff meets you at the surface and there’s no swimming back to the boat. SA is very flexible and reactive to the condition in the water. They will go out an check currents before planning a dive and also check in with few other boats in the area to see when they are diving and sometimes we jumped early to improve our dive experience. I’m not a foodie so I don’t have much to say about the food except that the hot made to order breakfasts after the first morning dive were great and I recall there being a wide variety options. The diving in Raja Ampat is incredible and SA makes it a true lux experience. Which reminds me that the massage chair on board at first seemed a little gimmicky but ended up being a fan favourite and there was no charge for using it! I do a lot of vacation traveling and I’ve done the range of high-end to low-end experiences. I can say with 100% seriousness that Solitude Adventurer was one of those high-end full lux experiences that was worth every penny! In fact, it was so good that I have a personal goal of diving on all the Solitude boats and at all the Solitude resorts.
