ONDINA


About Ondina

Ondina the classic Buginese schooner is built entirely of teak and tropical wood to create a comfortable accommodation to be your home and base camp as she sails and dives from island to island.

Since July 2001, Ondina has traveled year round moving with the seasons in order to visit the best diving spots Indonesia has to offer at the right times e.g.: Komodo, Raja Ampat, Triton Bay, Lembeh Strait, Wakatobi, Gorontalo, Ambon, Banda and Flores. This means an itinerary like no other through the very heart of an area with extreme high marine biodiversity.

In the unlikely event you don’t feel like diving, swimming or snorkelling, walks can be arranged through isolated forests, on deserted beaches or in the undisturbed villages you will come across during your trip.

With eight comfortable cabins in two configurations there is plenty of room for up to 16 guests. All cabins are very well laid and have porthole windows for added natural light. The cabins all feature Double Beds or Double / Twin Share Beds with air conditioning and private en-suite bathrooms.
