All Year Round
Intrepid Indonesia? We have the perfect trip, with no bumpy roads or rucksacks in sight. Just sails, blue water, white beach and indigenous tribes (should you wish). In fact, this is total luxury. In nine days (or however many you like) you can scuba dive in unparalleled seas, lounge on uninhabited tropical islands, and meet indigenous tribes unaffected by the western world, retreating back to a luxury wooden ship fit for royalty every night. The key to this experience is that what you do and see is completely up to you, making each trip as unique as the vessel you sleep on.
Hire out the classic Phinisi schooner Silolona, and spend your days exploring untouched Indonesian islands on a never-been-done-before itinerary. Looking for a one-off experience - the envy of the next dinner party? This is it. From this luxury hand-carved wooden phinsi boat, the options are endless and easily arranged. Sail a route exclusively designed by yourself and our experts before departure, meaning when you arrive you can do exactly what you like. We will take you through ideas and routes to suit your adventure level, and coordinate everything from transfers to tribes without you lifting a finger.
Getting there is easy. The moment your group of ten land in Bali (or Langkawi, depending on season) you will hop over to the Silolona on a private sea plane which lands on water right beside the vessel. Arriving in style? Definitely. As your crew work the sails and whip up gourmet meals from fresh local sources, you unwind and prepare for the adventures ahead.
Choose from visiting the previously off-limits Mergui Archipelago (one of the few remaining untouched paradises on earth), indulge in gourmet picnics on your own hidden, pristine beaches, or use the Silolona as a convenient base to experience unparalleled scuba diving in Raja Ampat. And for a completely unbeatable experience, why not hike through New Guinea jungle to meet the Asmat people - an indigenous tribe completely unaffected by the modern world. Catch them mid-festival where full body masks and massive ancestoral poles feature in the elaborate rituals. After a night spent in their homes living as they do, make your way back along a path of bamboo bridges through the dense forest to the Silolona. Incredible.
Back on board, if you can tear yourself away from the crisp white cushions on the sun-drenched deck, why not try your hand at sea-kayaking, or waterskiing, scuba diving or fishing? The ship comes equipped with enough cutting-edge watersports equipment for your entire party. More a life-enhancing journey than an average holiday, every Silolona experience is as unique as the ship itself, and each day ends watching orange and red sunsets over remote exotic islands.
The Silolona is about understated luxury, total freedom and ultimate indulgence. Unique and exhilarating, this rare South East Asian gem is our newest recipe for the perfect escape with an adventurous edge. Catch it while you can.
