Andisue Posted April 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2012 We are experienced snorkelers and would love to visit Indonesia. Are there cruises that lend themselves to good snorkeling spots w/minimum days at sea? Any info appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there cruises that lend themselves to good snorkeling spots w/minimum days at sea? Any info appreciated. Thanks My wife and I are booked on the Celebrity Millenium, 20 Jan 2013 / 14 days, doing Singapore, Indonesia (Bali, Lombok and Komodo), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang0 and Thailand (Phuket). All locations are good snorkeling locations. We dive at Bali, Lombik and Phuket. Good Luck -- Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest intercruise Posted May 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The diving around Komodo is some of the best in the world. If you have a day there, there is probably enough time to go to the island and see the Komodo dragons, and also do a dive or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted July 23, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2012 HI Sandi, Toni, we also will be visiting the Maldives and Phuket in December while on board a Regent cruise. Would love to dive at either port stop. Who are you diving with? Checked w/Baros in the Maldives, but you must book a dayroom to book with them. Thanks in advance. r/wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realwoman Posted August 8, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) The diving around Komodo is some of the best in the world. If you have a day there, there is probably enough time to go to the island and see the Komodo dragons, and also do a dive or two. I second that. Komodo is one of the best in the world. The best is to take a liveaboard boat leaving from Bali, and spend a week in the Komodo Marine Park. There are many to choose from, and the itenary is usually a week. All visits island of Komodo and Rinca, other island where dragons live, of course. Liveaboard is a diving boat, not a cruise ship, and does not have flaming Alaska, swimming pool and other cruise amenities.

deec Posted October 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2017 how is the snorkeling at the "pink" beaches from Komodo Island. Not diving this cruise vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vms Posted October 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2017 There was a good amount of fish and coral at the Pink Beach on Komodo Island. Be careful- there are some strong currents if you get a bit away from shore. Bring your own gear including fins, or double check with your tour operator that they provide fins. I was not the only person who got caught in the strong current and almost got pulled out to sea- our tour operator had said all snorkeling equipment was provided, but they only meant masks and snorkels- no fins.

deec Posted October 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2017 thanks for the equipment information we were not going to take our fins perhaps we will buy some "short" travel types that people have spoken about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISERTN Posted November 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We visited Komodo on a cruise with Azamara. We did a private tour that took us to see the dragons and then a short boat ride to "pink beach" and the snorkeling there was some of the best ever!! The boat anchored not too far from the shore and there was not any current and we did not use fins - just like always, it probably depends on the time of year and weather, winds, etc. as to whether the current is strong or not. We were there in April and the weather was perfect for our day there - no wind, rain or rough water - just hot, humid and sunny - and the water felt great after walking around and sweating while seeing the dragons. You will love the snorkeling there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
