Frequently Asked Questions
What species of fish are commonly caught?
The most commonly caught fish in Indonesia are pelagic species such as Spanish mackerel, tuna & sailfish. We’ve got all the fishing gear you need onboard!
What time is embarkation & disembarkation?
Guests will be collected in Darwin city centre at approximately 0600 for a charter flight. It is HIGHLY recommended that guests arrive in Darwin at least the night prior to departure. After disembarkation in Indonesia, the charter flight back to Darwin will bring guests back by 1700 where they'll need to clear customs and immigration. A late evening flight, or overnight accommodation in Darwin is recommended.
Are transfers to & from the vessel included in the cost?
Included in the cost is the early morning coach transfer from Darwin City centre hotels to Darwin International airport for check-in as well as local transfers to and from the airport in Indonesia. On arrival back in Darwin (approximate arrival time 1700) guests make their own way from the airport as the time it takes for each guest to clear customs and immigration varies greatly.
Does SCUBA diving feature on these itineraries?
Absolutely! There are fantastic opportunities to explore the many coral reefs of these amazing islands. A limited selection of diving equipment is available for hire onboard with prior arrangement. However, bringing your own personal equipment will ensure a perfect fit. Not a certified diver? Don’t worry the snorkelling is just as good!
Do I need a passport for this voyage?
Yes. Please ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity on it after your return travel date. We will ask for this information 3-4 months prior to embarkation. General information concerning travel in West Papua will be included with your Guest Documents. True North will arrange entry visa into Indonesia.
