Navigate a spectacular maze of towering karst peaks, and drop by the ranger station to snorkel with friendly, gliding reef sharks in the shallows. Afterward, you can choose your own adventure: climb to the island’s summit for a legendary panoramic view, or just kick back on a totally deserted white-sand beach.

Embrace the ultimate island chill day at Wofoh. Two small islets connected by a perfect sandbank create a calm, crystal-clear lagoon that’s made for paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling.

Day 6: BIRD OF PARADISE & MAJESTIC MANTAS

An early wake-up call is well worth it today! After a quick snack, we’ll take a short jungle hike to a viewing platform to spot the famous Red Bird of Paradise displaying in the canopy.

Later, we’ll wander through the charming, welcoming streets of Arborek village.

Day 7: THE BLUE RIVER & FINAL DIPS

Kick off your last day of activities with a journey up the hypnotic Blue River (Kalibiru). It’s a surreal, ice-cold stream of electric blue water winding through the pristine jungle.
