e islands of Indonesia comprise a collage of fascinating cultures, luxuriant landscapes,iridescent undersea gardens, and flora, fauna, and marine life that simply baffl e the imagina-

tion with their intense diversity. More water than land defines this region, making explorationby sea the ultimate way to savor its sublime beauty.

We set sail from Port Moresby, the administrative and cultural capital of Papua New Guinea.From there we cruise to ursday Island, which punctuates the northernmost tip of Australia,and travel to the remote Asmat region of West Papua (formerly Irian Jaya). Here, deep in thetangles of mangrove jungle, in villages of stilt houses, live a fascinating tribal people. Fewtravel experiences surpass the arrival of Asmat warriorspainted and feathered, whoopingand holleringpaddling toward us in their intricately carved canoes. During our expeditionstops in the idyllic Flores and Spice Islands, we snorkel and dive these waters that shelter andnourish a kaleidoscopic array of coral and fish. On Rinca Island, we come face to face with thegiant monitor lizard, the Komodo dragon; in a banyan-shaded square on Lomblem, we watcha mock whaling ceremony performed by local villagers; and on Flores, we witness traditionalikatweaving in its time-honored, step-by-step process.

On this voyage, we will witness many endemic species along with an enormous diversityof marine life. In the deep waters of the Banda and Flores Seas lies the Wallacea region, aninvisible north-south demarcation line that divides Indonesia into two major biological realmsand endows it with the worlds most unusual mix of flora and bird species numbering in the

thousands. Our outstanding team of leaders and lecturers know this region intimately, andthrough an on-going series of lectures and field guiding they enhance your understanding ofthese fascinating island groups.

Join us on this extraordinary voyage to discover coral islets surrounded by glittering sapphirewaters, timeless traditional villages, sky-piercing volcanoes wreathed in clouds, the worlds mostspectacular coral reefs, and incredibly lush rain forests and rice paddies. We look forward towelcoming you to these islands of diversity on our voyage from Papua New Guinea to Bali.

Kindest regards,

Kevin Clement & Jonathan Rossouw
