"Alor - East of Flores"
New Destinations for 2009/10

For selected cruises during the year the Komodo Dancer will be setting out on dive adventure programmes "East of Flores" to Alor. Great visibility, drift dives, sheer walls, dazzling coral gardens and magnificent muck combine to house one of the most prolific and diverse marine ecosystems on earth.

Some of the critter/muck sites here easily compare to the more well known Lembeh Strait, eagle and mobular rays and the fascinating oceanic sunfish (mola mola) can be seen here and whale and dolphin sightings are common in the Alor and Pantar straits.

For pioneering diving off the beaten track the underwater world of Alor is hard to beat!

Alor - Where is it?
* Middle of the Indonesian archipelago
* Eight degrees south of the equator
* 500 nautical miles east of Bali
* Close to the end of the Nusa Tengarra archipelago

Cruise Routing

Alor - Topside
The topography, flora and fauna of the Alor region is slightly different to Komodo with smoking volcanoes surrounded by sparkling blue seas and emerald green forests fringing the sandy beaches. Another interesting feature of an Alor trip is the chance to buy beautiful Ikat cloths, traditional fabrics hand made on the islands here.

Alor - Getting There
For our 10 day “Alor – East of Flores” cruises the Komodo Dancer will start and finish in Maumere, Flores. On arrival in Bali our guests take a short flight to join the vessel at the harbour there. When the cruise finishes we fly from Maumere back to Bali, reversing the outbound route.
