Pindito Wildiaries Lucipara Islands Banda Sea Tour

Join me and a small group of snorkelers and divers for another epic Banda Sea Cruise Expedition on board the luxurious Pindito. This will be the fourth time I've led trips to this region in search of Blue Whales. Winds are traditionally low during this, the doldrum season. Also, it's at the peak of Blue Whale activity, before they begin their migration south to Australia.

On this trip we also have the very special opportunity to visit the Lucipara Islands. Described as the 'mini-Maldives', the Lucipara Islands are six islands with fringing atolls that rise up hundreds of metres below the Banda Sea deep. Surrounded by steep drop-offs, the islands are famed for spectacular snorkelling and diving. There is also the chance to see turtles nesting.

Afterwards we will visit the 'forgotten' Spice Islands to learn about the colonial history we share with them and explore some spectacular snorkel-dive locations nearby, before heading to Koon Island ... and the infamous 'Shitty Place'. This location was named after the exclamations of German divers who first visited with Pindito in the early 1990s. It's a terrifically beautiful spot to swim.
Then we'll head back west along the southern coast of Seram, admiring the 3,200m high mountains on one side, while sailing past the 7,700m Weber Deep. The land here rises higher than Everest. Along the way we'll search for strange cetaceans like Cuvier's Beaked Whales, Rough-toothed and Risso's Dolphins
