Pelagia Collective Start planning

Four regions, four different seasons

Pick the place and the month together. Here is what each region offers, when it is at its best, and how long to allow.

8°34′S 119°29′E

Komodo and Flores

Komodo dragons on Rinca and Komodo, pink-sand beaches, manta rays and some of the most reliable snorkelling in Indonesia. It is the easiest first charter, because Labuan Bajo has direct flights from Bali and Jakarta.

Best months
April to December
Suggested length
4 to 7 nights
Usual start
Labuan Bajo

0°30′S 130°30′E

Raja Ampat

A remote archipelago off West Papua with limestone islands, lagoons and the highest coral and fish diversity recorded anywhere. It is further and slower to reach, so it rewards longer charters.

Best months
October to April
Suggested length
7 to 10 nights
Usual start
Sorong

4°32′S 129°54′E

Banda Sea

The Spice Islands: volcanic cones, old nutmeg forts, reef walls and very few other visitors. Itineraries are long and depend on the weather, and they are often linked with Raja Ampat or Komodo.

Best months
September to November
Suggested length
10 to 14 nights
Usual start
Ambon or Sorong

8°35′S 115°50′E

Bali and Lombok

Shorter trips from Bali's harbours to Nusa Penida, the Gili Islands and Lombok's southwest bays. A good fit for celebrations, long weekends, or a first taste of charter before a longer trip.

Best months
April to October
Suggested length
3 to 5 nights
Usual start
Bali
