About Tiger Blue

Set sail through eastern Indonesia aboard Tiger Blue, a traditional timber phinisi yacht that ferries divers and watersports lovers between some of the region's most coveted dive sites. Sleep under the stars or retreat to your ensuite cabin on this 34-metre, five-cabin yacht built in 2008, with free WiFi and the large, comfortable deck beds waiting after every dive.

Where you'll dive

Itineraries roam the Komodo National Park, sailing round-trip from Labuan Bajo on either a 7-night, 22-dive voyage or a 4-night, 10-dive escape, while the 7-night Raja Ampat route runs from Sorong to Sorong. These rich waters are home to over 600 species of coral and 3000 species of fish, so you'll see something new each time you descend.

Expect encounters with whitetip and blacktip reef sharks, hammerheads, manta rays, eagle rays, sting rays, barracuda, nudibranchs and whale sharks. Between dives, go waterskiing, snorkelling or wakeboarding, then refuel with freshly prepared Asian and western food. Up to four dives a day and daily night dives keep the adventure fuss-free.

Day 1
LABUAN BAJO Tiger Blue will be moored 20 minutes from the airport, making your transfer by car and tender an easy journey. Sail to Sabayor Kecil, keeping an eye out for dolphins, which love to swim alongside the bow. Dive or snorkel around the coral reef, full of colourful fish, sponges, Napolean wrasse, groupers and the odd stingray. Or enjoy the water from above, kayaking, waterskiing, kneeboarding or fishing. Later, relax on board with a good book or film before a leisurely supper.
2
Day 2
RINCA & MANTA POINT Early morning sail to Rinca. After a light breakfast, take the tender to the shore to see the famous Komodo Dragons. Accompanied by a park ranger, explore the giant lizard’s habitat on foot and learn about its hunting habits. The island is home to about 2,500 dragons as well as monkeys, Sunda deer, wild pigs and jungle fowl, so there is plenty to see on the trail. Rejoin the boat and enjoy lunch while sailing for a couple of hours to Karang Makassar. Stop by Manta Point, a feeding ground for manta rays and one of the top diving and snorkelling spots in the park. On this relaxed drift dive, watch the mantas gliding gracefully through the water with their mouths open, feeding on plankton. Enjoy a second dive at Batu Balong, a massive underwater rock with pinnacles and rifts surrounded by grey reef and white tip sharks, giant trevallies and emperor fish. The coral garden on its top can also be enjoyed by snorkellers, who have a good chance of seeing the larger fish. In the late afternoon, relax on a quiet sandy beach or hike up the grassy hill behind for panoramic views across the islands. Then settle in to the comfortable bean bags on the beach while the crew mix you up a cocktail and build a giant bonfire before heading back to the boat for a hearty supper.
3
Day 3
MAUAN & KODE Mauan & Kode’s superb reef is teeming with turtles and can be appreciated by divers and snorkellers alike. Mauan harbours a sporadic manta ray cleaning station, where the animals congretate to have cleaner fish remove parasites and other organisms from their skin. Guests may prefer to explore by kayak, relax on deck or a deserted beach, or try their hand at wakeboarding. In the evening, ask the crew to make up the day beds with blankets and fall asleep under the stars. Overnight in Padar.
4
Day 4
BBQ & SUNSET COCKTAILS ON A SECRET BEACH Spend a lazy or an active day, as your mood dictates. A climb up Padar’s verdant slopes will yield spectacular views across the park landscape and the island’s four bays, fringed with grey or white sand. Resident wildlife includes sea eagles, deer and goats. Successful anglers will be rewarded with melt-in-the-mouth sashimi or ceviche prepared by the chef. Under the water, Pillarsteen has four large pinnacles covered in soft corals, as well as canyons, caves, swim-throughs and chimneys. Watch out for the brightly coloured red and purple fire urchins. As the sun begins to disappear over the horizon, catch the tender to a secret beach for refreshing cocktails and a BBQ. Overnight in Padar.
