Lagoons from above
The karst of Piaynemo and Wayag is best understood from the ridge. A short scramble, then the whole archipelago in turquoise and green below you, and the boat a white fleck at anchor.

Moments
What stays with you.
The jellyfish lake
A marine lake in Misool where the jellyfish lost their sting thousands of years ago. You float among millions of them in warm green light. It is the quietest hour of the trip.
Mantas and the reef
Cape Kri holds the world record for fish species on a single dive. Manta Sandy is where the big animals come to be cleaned. You will lose count of both.
A beach of your own
On one evening we set up on an empty beach — lanterns, a long table, the chef on the sand, and a sky the city has never shown you.
