Day
One, Bali
The Pindito provides transfers from any hotel in South Bali to the
Pindito and welcomes you on board at 11:00 AM in Benoa Harbor, South
East Bali. As soon as all guests are on board and are holding their
welcome drink the Pindito is ready to leave the harbour. You will
be introduced to the crew members and you will be shown around in
order to start feeling at home on the Pindito.
In the meantime the Pindito leaves the harbour and heads off towards
Lombok. Take this opportunity to enjoy Balis famous sunsets
while enjoying a drink our deck. Dinner will be served while cruising
towards our first destination, Satonda north of Sumbawa.
Day

After our light breakfast, we´ll have a check dive at the
calm shore of Satonda. After this dive full breakfast will be served.
Satonda, an island which has both shore-side and underwater treats,
to entertain everybody. Todays diving will take place in this
spectacular area, including the night dive. If you wish, we can
organise a short walk to the brackish lake where locals believe
sacred wishes become true. Right after sunset there are thousands
of fruit bats lifting off from Satonda Island towards Sumbawa; a
spectacle of its own. After the night dive we lift anchor and depart
with directions Komodo National Park.
Day Three, Banta
The vegetation has changed drastically. A rough and dry landscape
is the new scenery. The peaceful bays of Banta Island, and an enormous
variety of fish life under water. Our special spot called "Critters"
offer a full menu of rarnesness. After dinner, we will sail towards
our next incredible destination, Rinca.
Day Four, Rinca, Komodo National Park
After a peaceful night´s cruise to the sheltered waters of
Horseshoe Bay, Rinca Island, we will spend the whole day diving
in this area. You can enjoy the uniqueness of this area. These dive
sites are famous for their diversity in marine life that will be
fully appreciated once under the water! All meals will be served
on board. Between dives our guests can explore the lonely beach
by going for a walk or with the binoculars. Wild boars, monkeys
and the odd Komodo dragon are the highlights.
Day

Another day diving in the Horseshoe Bay area is scheduled. We will
introduce new incredible dive spots and as well hold on to the already
explored favourites. Enjoy relaxing cocktails and learn about the
marine species from our vast library of identification books in
between dives. We will lift anchor late at night to move towards
the village of Komodo for your "dragon adventure" the
following morning.

Pindito welcomes you to the famous Komodo Island early this morning.
After breakfast, a park ranger will escort you for a 4.5 km walk.
You can see the Komodo Dragons when they are sunbathing and heating
up, from very, very close (a scary and challenging experience at
once!). Komodo National Park is the only habitat on earth where
the dragons still exist. After lunch, you will spend the rest of
the afternoon diving in this incredible area. Dinner will be served
on board.
Day
