Indonesia
Few destinations can compare to Indonesia for Scuba diving: Many consider it the best place in the world for dives of all kinds, and beginners will be richly rewarded while experienced divers will find many satisfying challenges to fill an entire charter. There are more than 3,000 fish species and 600 coral species to encounter on an Indonesian luxury yacht charter, and the waters around North Sulawesi are some of the most biodiverse in the region. Visit open reefs, walls, caves, wrecks, go on a drift dive at night or try a muck dive to see colourful nudibranchs, shrimp octopus and much more as they feed.
For those who want to stretch their legs, the Komodo National Park is a chance to see these iconic reptiles in their natural habitat and learn more about the region. Many charter groups then head on to the beautiful Padar Island just to the south, where the crescent bays offer an ideal place for water sports, and white sand beaches make a memorable place for a meal together at sundown. Bali has a sensational nightlife and is a great place to pick up a souvenir of your visit from one of the local markets or artisans.
