Adelaar anchored in Padar Island, Komodo National Park.

...The remote yet fascinating Komodo Archipelago lies east of Bali between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores, and is home to the prehistoric ‘Komodo Dragon’. This reptile has managed to survive for thousands of years, and is found nowhere else in the world. But it is beneath the dragons lair, in the underwater world, that draws diving enthusiasts from all corners of the earth. We offer several itineraries from Bali and from Flores, spending the majority of the time in the Komodo National Park. Our Bali to Komodo itineraries offer chances to visit islands along the northern coastline of Sumbawa. If the moon is right we divert into a large bay which is home to a pod of whale sharks...

...Further east from Komodo, along the northern coast of Flores, lies the bustling harbor town of Maumere. It is the departure point for Adelaar’s signature Alor liveaboard trips. From here, we travel even further eastwards towards Alor, stopping at each opportunity to peek below into the fascinating underwater world. Topside highlights of our Liveaboard trip to Alor include visiting local villages, experiencing traditional fishing techniques, and catching a glimpse of surfacing whales or pods of dolphins. Visit this locale onboard Adelaar, for an intimate glimpse into what the Alor archipelago has to offer...

...To the North and the East of Alor lies the magical Banda Sea. We will sail from one of the few specks of lands in this vast expanse of water to the next one. These oases explode with life and beauty both on the surface as well as underwater. Visiting the remote islands and communities of Adelaar’s Banda Sea and Forgotten island itineraries are not to be missed highlights of our yearly program. Most famous from a diver’s perspective for the seasonal aggregations of large schools of hammerhead sharks, these voyages bring you also to some of the most interesting and intriguing cultural and historical places you can imagine.
