The fact that on our Seatrek voyages we can sail for 10 days around the Banda Sea from Flores to the Banda Islands and not see another ship tells you how isolated these islands really are.
The pristine waters make the Banda Islands a mecca for divers who come here from all over the world and a great place to see a variety of marine life.

Great fishmarket photos, Ian… from a long-standing fishmarket-photo addict
Thanks Jeffrey, although all the credit for the fishmarket photos should go to Martin Truefitt-Baker who is a great photographer.
It certainly whets the appetite for more travel in Indonesia some day. The photos are gorgeous; I can taste the fish!

I will have a ‘Journey Across Java’ 14 day land tour in August and a 12 day Seatrek voyage ‘East Indies Exploration’ around the islands of the eastern archipelago in September 2017. It would be great if you can join us then for more travel in Indonesia.
