What we’re about
Let's build a community of friends that travel, and dive, and want to create fun memories together. We'll meet locally, for happy hours, but the emphasis is to travel to exotic destinations, and remote corners of the world, to seek new adventures, and dive. I've been diving all over the world and I have a passion to share travel, adventure, and exciting experiences with new friends, and divers. Every year, we'll include 1-2 trips to the Caribbean, 1 trip to the South Pacific, and some kind of adventure trip with sharks, whales, or more. Please join us and become a part of a true travel and adventure group.

RAJA AMPAT ECO RESORT – PAPUA EXPLORERS DIVE RESORT
Papua Explorers Resort is located in the heart of Raja Ampat. The region is the crown jewel of the Coral Triangle and the epicenter of global marine biodiversity. Located on the northwest tip of the Bird’s Head Peninsula of West Papua. Raja Ampat translates into English as Four Kings and gets its name from a local mythology. It is about four kings that occupy the four big islands: Salawati, Batanta, Waigeo and Misool. As stunning archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, it hosts thousands of species some even endemic to the region.Resort and Accommodation
We constructed our Raja Ampat eco resort using traditional Papuan construction methods and local, natural materials from Raja Ampat. The spacious overwater bungalows are designed to be in perfect harmony with the exotic surrounding, allowing the guests to feel the breeze from the rainforests, enjoy the songs of the tropical birds and soothe their souls with the flutter of the waves.Our 300 m2, over-the- sea restaurant and lounge is designed to offer a relaxing environment to enjoy various international and local dishes freshly prepared in our restaurant and to unwind and relax between the dives.
After a long day of diving or snorkeling our sundeck and spa on the main jetty is another great place to enjoy the sunset and beautiful tropical scenery of Raja Ampat.
ABOUT CORALIA
Coralia is a liveaboard that is committed to creating sustainable and unforgettable human-nature experiences, while conserving the oceans we cruise in and developing the local communities we work with. As a classic Phinisi it was built in Bira, Sulawesi by the Konjo tribe, who have been building cargo ships for centuries. Blending ancient techniques and wisdom with modern design and safety features, Coralia is one of the few Phinisi equipped with two engines. Coralia’s name comes from the word ‘coral‘ and the Latin ending of ‘-ia’, so ‘Coral-ia‘ means ‘Nation of Corals’.Accommodations
Our eight spacious cabins, offer modern comfort and style while incorporating traditional details. Each cabin is air-conditioned, non-smoking, and has a spacious private bathroom with warm freshwater showers, towels and hairdryer. Environmentally friendly, natural soap and shower amenities are provided free of charge. In the cabin itself guests will find cozy beds, a sofa, working desk and closet. Our four luxurious master cabins on the main and upper deck additionally feature each a private balcony, sun chair and outside sofa, where guests can indulge in the tropical scenery and never miss a sunrise or sunset. All our cabins are named after coral species – a tribute to the stunning underwater world of Indonesia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW06jYyS63c
