Multiday SNORKEL trips in Indonesia (Raja Ampat or elsewhere) - any provider recommendations?
Planning a trip to Indonesia early next year and we’re specifically looking for multiday boat trips (liveaboard or not) that are snorkel‑focused, not dive‑focused (we don’t dive at all)
So far we’ve been looking at Raja Ampat, but we’re open to other places in Indonesia if you think they’re better for snorkel‑only trips
What we’re hoping to find:
- Around 7–10 days on a boat, moving between islands (liveaboard or not)
- Itineraries built around snorkelers, not divers
- Small groups, decent comfort (private cabin for 2, AC if possible)
- Operators that actually market it as a snorkeling trip, not “diving with snorkeling allowed”
The problem is basically every multi‑day trip I find is dive‑centric and it’s hard to tell which ones are actually good for snorkelers. Prices also vary like crazy (something like $1k to 10k per person**) so I have no idea what’s normal or good value
If you’ve done a trip like this, could you share:
- Where you went (Raja Ampat, Komodo, Sulawesi, etc.)
- The name of the operator / boat
- How you contacted them (website / whatsapp / insta / email..)
- Rough price per person and trip length
Any actual providers you can recommend (and how to reach them) would be super helpful!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
