Return to your luxury resort for an evening at leisure. Stay: Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay (B/L)

Cruise to Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands, coming ashore at Satonda, a secluded island paradise formed from the caldera of an ancient volcano. Here, swim or snorkel the peaceful crater lake and learn its moving Indigenous origin story, a tragic tale involving the tears of a forlorn king. Stay: Le Jacques Cartier (B/L/D)

Renowned for its namesake dragons, Komodo National Park beguiles visitors with its striking pink sands, sweeping coastal terrain and dazzling marine life.

Embark on a Zodiac excursion to the Mommon Peninsula and Kiti-Kiti Waterfall, its breathtaking falls cascading from a tropical rainforest into the open sea below. Later, cruise to the remote island of Karas for an afternoon of swimming or diving. Stay: Le Jacques Cartier (B/L/D)

Continue east to Triton Bay, a world-renowned dive site harbouring the planet's greatest biodiversity of fish and coral species. Here, dive into an aquatic paradise of pygmy seahorses, marlin, sweetlips and soft corals. Additionally, embark on a Zodiac excursion of the bay's magnificent rainforest-capped karst formations. Stay: Le Jacques Cartier (B/L/D)

Arrive in Agats, the capital of South Papua's Asmat Regency. This culturally diverse region harbours some 44 Indigenous tribes that remain largely isolated from the modern world.

Unwind aboard at the pool or spa, pausing for enriching lectures about the Great Barrier Reef. Stay: Le Jacques Cartier (B/L/D)
