Travel East of Bali

Travel into the eastern part of the Indonesian archipelago is always an unforgettable and rewarding experience and always an adventure, but unless one has unlimited time it can be very frustrating as well. The transportation infrastructure has not changed much in the past fifty years and roads are usually in poor condition. Ferries are often scary rust buckets and departure schedules are always subject to the famous Indonesian “Rubber Time” (or “Jam Karet”). At the end of a day of travelling accommodation is always primitive. Yet this vast area of beautiful sceneries and extremely friendly people is one of the most charming parts of Asia. It has an incredibly rich and varied cultural life and wherever you go, you find yourself as safe as can be.

Ombak Putih leisure expeditions to these out-of–the-way islands east of Bali are the perfect solution and from the very moment that you step aboard our traditional wooden schooner you will know that you made the right decision by booking a cruise.

The joy of being at sea

One of the greatest joys of being on the ocean is to have the opportunity every very day of being able to see the sun rise and to see the sun set. Modern life in the city prevents us to witness what is always a breathtaking symphony of colours, whether there are clouds or not…The very best time of the day aboard ship is what they call the ‘dog watch’, which includes the magic moment when the day breaks and the sun reappears.

That time of the day on Ombak Putih there is always a fresh pot of coffee ready and if you care to join the crew on the bridge you will not miss that very special moment…
