Go On "Backpacker" Adventures Anywhere in Indonesia on our Cargo & Passenger Vessel Network
Cargo Adventures Destinations are operated by a fleet of Government vessels servicing the small island populations of this great Archilpalic nation.
The services of this program provide access to the Barrier Islands of the West Coast of Sumatra facing the Great Indian Ocean. While this area is a Mecca for Surfers, these Island communities, hunt and raise tropical fish speicies and are diverse and well worth visiting.
The Natuna Islands are a perfect example of a place most people have never been able to access in Indonesia. The ports visit in this island group make up an important part of Indonesia's Western Sea Border. This program is offered as a schedule program at CLICK LINK
Traveling within Kalimantan is another subject in itself, but the programs offered here allow you to enter and exit the massive island from three different directions and perspectives.
Madura used to be isolated and accessible only via boat, but the new bridge from Surabaya has changed the access a little, but the outer islands are still very special places, and the Madura people are unique for sure, event and festival dates, will make a visit to Madura more than special.
These islands have to be classed as some of the best of Eastern Indonesia, but they are also isolated from Flores or Timor and only one airport that we know of. The Alor Archipelago stretches across the Northern edge of Timor and borders the new nation of Timor Leste.
Sulawesi is visited by many people, but few have had the opportunity to experience the outer islands, where life is easy but hard at the same time.
Kei and Tanibar represent the most extreme eastern islands of the Indonesian Archipelago. They have rich Dutch history and pure island cultures that have been isolated by very infrequent air services for many years.
This region conjures up the true adventure in everyone. Wemena and Belem are far more primitive than their PNG neighbors and are a must-see for anyone who wants to get on the edge. However, these destinations do not even come near to the state of isolation that our programs can take you up interior rivers along coastal expanses of Canderwasi Bay and the WWII History of Biak — all are touched by this service.
This zone, again, has been seen by only a few. From M, we visit upriver and along the coastal areas of an area still unknown to tourism in the true sense of the word.
The island of Halmahera is known for its bird life and thick jungles. The North Moluccas are new to the tourism theme but still full of interesting WWII history and untouched environments.
Sumba Island belongs to the Lesser Sunda Islands. Sumba has an area of about 11,000 square kilometers, so it is roughly twice the size of Bali. With approximately 715,000 inhabitants (2017), Sumba has only about one-sixth of the population of Bali. Although Sumba is less than 100 kilometers from the southern coast of Sumbawa and Flores — and still in visibility range — it is quite different.
