Calico was fortunate to have a lovely group of Aussies charter Calico Jack on its last trip 8 nights Gili Islands, Lombok to Komodo.
We begin our adventure in Gili Islands Lombok, With all onboard, we set sail to the Moyo Island This secluded island is an unspoiled paradise and still relatively off the international tourist trail.
Moyo Island with it beautiful scenery, stunning waterfalls and great diving is becoming a popular stop for most liveaboard operating between Bali and Komodo.
After Action packed day diving and trekking, we make our way to Pulau Satonda. This tiny, uninhabited island offshore of Sumbawa, separated by a narrow strait from Tambora, the site of the largest and most devastating volcanic eruption in human history. The island is the remnants of a volcano that blew its top and all that remains is a lake in the center. Diving in the area was pretty good at the time and definitely deserves some more exploration.
After overnight navigation, we arrive in still very much alive volcano that goes by the name Sangeang. The island lies 20km from North East Sumbawa and is renowned for its spectacular scenery and famous dive site name Champagne Reef, after the bubbles that stream from its underwater reef.
Next stop Komodo National Park! Komodo is definitely one of Calico Jacks favorite areas to operate, with its dramatic topography above and below the water, Strong currents, high voltage diving, and the Famous Komodo Dragons.
Calico would like to thank our lovely Australian adventurers for joining our Gili to Komodo voyage. We had it all guys Volcanos, waterfalls, snorkeling, and diving with 60+ mantas and trekking with Komodo dragons!
