Join us as we sail around some of Eastern Indonesia’s most iconic destinations and snorkel Alor and Komodo from this award-winning snorkel liveaboard, Coralia.

The Coralia liveaboard will be our floating home for the duration of this tour. With it, we’ll enjoy all the luxuries and amenities of a comfortable resort while also indulging in the exhilarating experiences of exploring the reefs and islands that have made Alor, Komodo, and everything in between some of the best snorkeling destinations in the world!

On this snorkel liveaboard, we’ll be covering a lot of territory and visiting locations not otherwise accessible from a resort. We’ll start the tour with a few snorkels around the island of Kawula before arriving into the Alor archipelago the following day. After several days of snorkeling the magical reefs of Alor, we’ll then make our way west towards Komodo with stops along the way. We will snorkel Komodo National Park in the final days of the tour.

Day 1 - Meet the group in Bali

On arrival in Bali (DPS) you will check into our Bali hotel and relax. Later, there will be a group dinner where you can meet your fellow snorkelers and the Snorkel Venture group leader. We will spend the night here.


Day 2 - Arrive in Maumere

After breakfast, we check in for our flight to Maumere. On arrival, we’ll be met by a member of the Coralia team who will drive us a short distance to the port. We’ll check-in, unpack, and relax before a full boat briefing and an overview of the following day’s itinerary. Time depending, we may be able to enjoy an afternoon snorkel around one of the nearby islands.

Day 3 - 12 - Snorkeling from Coralia

Each day starts with a “light” breakfast before starting a site briefing for our first snorkel session. Each snorkel session will run for 60 – 90 minutes. From Coralia, we’ll board the smaller tender boats so we can be safely dropped in the shallows. All the snorkel sessions have surface support too, and you can jump on a tender and return to the main vessel if you prefer a shorter snorkel session.  After our morning snorkel, we will return to our boat and dry off. There will be dry towels waiting on the dive deck for us. Additionally, a full hot breakfast will then be served.

After our second breakfast, we hit the water again for another snorkel session on a nearby site. We return to the main boat for a delicious buffet lunch, usually 2 – 3 courses. Then, after a little break to allow our food to digest, we prepare for the third snorkel session of the day. Afterwards, snacks and beverages are served (you will not go hungry on this cruise!). Depending on the day we may additionally offer a fourth snorkel, which will be a night or sunset snorkel.
We intend to offer 3 snorkel sessions a day along with several night snorkels, as conditions allow. You are not obliged to participate in them all. Instead, you may prefer to relax, get a massage, and use one of the kayaks onboard to go exploring!

We do have a rough itinerary, which we intend to stick to. Being on a liveaboard affords us the luxury of being able to be flexible with things, particularly when weather or sea conditions are unfavorable. Then, we may make adjustments to the schedule so that we are always snorkeling in the best spots at the best possible times for not only weather but also marine life sightings.

Day 13- transfer to Bali, tour ends

On our final morning, we’ll enjoy a final breakfast onboard. Thereafter, we say farewell to our lovely Coralia crew and transfer to the Airport in Labuan Bajo for our flight back to Bali where the tour ends.
Please speak to a member of our team before booking any international flights.
