Indonesia: Bali, Papua and Raja Ampat, private tour
Explore the most uncharted side of Indonesia
Way beyond the island of Bali, the bestknown in the whole of Indonesia, there are hidden corners that seem to be plucked from another universe. Who hasn't heard of Papua? An unexplored and inhospitable land for the vast majority, we'd love you to come and explore it with us. This is one of the places in the world where you expect something to "click" in your mind and open up a whole new field of knowledge. And the best thing is that after this adventure, you'll end up at one of the world's last remaining paradises: the Raja Ampat Islands, the perfect place for diving enthusiasts. You now know that you want to go, but will you want to return home?
