Aurora is an Indonesian liveaboard designed for travellers who want to explore the country’s most biodiverse marine regions by sea. The experience combines traditional phinisi character with modern onboard comfort, welcoming scuba divers, snorkelers, and non-diving guests across iconic regions such as Raja Ampat, Halmahera, Banda Sea, Komodo, and surrounding eastern Indonesian waters.
Aurora brings together the charm of a traditional Indonesian phinisi with the comfort expected on a modern liveaboard. Built for extended exploration through remote island regions, the boat is especially suited to travellers looking for a dive-focused journey with scenic sailing, relaxed social spaces, and attentive crew support.
Life onboard Aurora is relaxed, social, and ocean-focused. Guests can unwind between activities in comfortable indoor areas, enjoy meals after a day of diving or exploration, and spend quiet moments on deck watching Indonesia’s seascapes unfold. The experience is well-suited to divers, snorkelers, photographers, and travellers who want access to remote marine environments without giving up comfort.
Aurora’s trips are centred on scuba diving, with a strong appeal for underwater photographers and marine-life enthusiasts. Non-divers can still enjoy snorkeling, island scenery, relaxed cruising, and the landscapes that make Indonesia’s eastern archipelago so special. Expect an adventure-led but comfortable style of travel rather than a purely resort-like holiday.
Aurora explores some of Indonesia’s most celebrated marine areas, including Raja Ampat, Halmahera, Banda Sea, Komodo, and Lembeh-connected routes. These regions are known for coral reefs, dramatic island scenery, manta and shark encounters, macro life, and remote seascapes best accessed by liveaboard.
