The Coralia Liveaboard is well known for many things: its spacious cabins, romantic wooden finish, stellar crew, and convenient and uber-comfortable design. At least, that's something we talk about a lot whenever we talk about Coralia. One thing we haven't really highlighted too much, at least in any great detail, is its food! The chefs on the Coralia have cultivated an extensive menu that beautifully combines a variety of Western flavors along with Indonesian favorites. With enough notice, they can accommodate just about any dietary preferences or requirements while still delivering the rich flavors you crave. Here's one of our guests' favorites from past tours aboard the Coralia. Ayam Bakar Taliwang ('Taliwang Style' - Spicy Grilled Chicken) A flavor-packed Indonesian favorite from the Coralia galley, tender chicken simmered in a fragrant spice blend, then finished over the grill for a smoky, caramelized char. Ingredients 200 g garlic, roughly chopped 300 g shallots, roughly chopped 1 inch fresh turmeric, or 1 tbsp turmeric powder 2 inches fresh ginger, or 2 tbsp ginger powder 2 inches fresh galangal, optional 3 stalks lemongrass 3 bay leaves 3 kaffir lime leaves 200 ml coconut cream 1 chicken, chopped into pieces Neutral oil for sautéing ~100 ml Water Method Sauté the garlic, shallots, turmeric, ginger, and galangal in a little neutral oil until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a blender, add 100 ml water, and blend until smooth. Return the spice paste to the stove. Add the lemongrass, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves. Add the chicken and enough water to just barely cover it. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the coconut cream and simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Remove the chicken and finish it on a hot grill pan, or even better, over a barbecue, until cooked

When we first started Snorkel Venture, we didn't have any liveaboard snorkeling safaris. All of our snorkel tours were land-based at resorts. As interest in snorkel travel grew, and our many repeat guests were looking for different snorkeling itineraries and destinations, we ventured into the realm of liveaboards. Personally, I was excited about this as I spent five years living and working on a liveaboard in Indonesia prior to joining Snorkel Venture. But more than just having a background with liveaboards, I genuinely believe the snorkeling options and overall travel logistics can be more favorable in many ways, here's why. Travel Logistics: Liveaboards typically depart from larger port towns that have quick and easy access to airports and supplies. In order to arrive to the boat, you just have to meet the team waiting for you at the airport and let them shuttle you to the harbor where you'll board the vessel. With a liveaboard, you can explore much further than you can at a resort as you have the ability to sail through the night and also during surface intervals. With liveaboards, there is also the option to snorkel in several different destinations without having to do the whole pack, transfer, and unpack routine as you would if you were land-based and moving from resort to resort. For example, our Raja Ampat-Halmahera-North Sulawesi liveaboard snorkel safari takes us from Raja Ampat through Halmahera and into Lembeh in North Sulawesi, or vice versa, all without having to step foot in an airport or transfer boat. Snorkeling: Sea and weather conditions are always changing. With a liveaboard, in most locations, we have the ability to move the boat so we're in the most accommodating conditions for that area. For example, in Belize, if the weather is unfavorable around the Turneffe Atoll,
