Pindito
The
MV Pindito offers cruises to the Komodo National park and
to Irian Jaya (Raja Empat), as well as an adventure-diving
tour, which lies in between these two regions, twice a year.
Pindito knows the areas for more than 15 years and has cruised
Raja Ampat years before any other liveaboard was there.
The
swiss owners guarantee a unique combination of comfort and
the ambience of the characteristically Indonesian way.
Recent
renovations have ensured that Pindito remains the #1 choice
for diving the remote waters of Indonesia.
Pindito was launched in the Indonesian Sea for the first
time in March 1992. After many years and several thousand
dives in Indonesia, Edi, Pindito's skipper/owner and his
crew know the best dive sites in Eastern Indonesia, namely
West Papua (Raja Ampat), the Moluccas, Nusa Tenggara and
Bali. Their expertise and dedication to this beautiful region
guarantees an unforgettable liveaboard experience.

Destinations and itineraries
Pindito
has two spectacular itineraries in Raja Ampat during the
month from November through April. In May and October, the
very popular relocation cruises through the spice islands
have been tagged "biodiversity". June through
September, Pindito is based in Bali and offeres itineraries
around Komodo, Flores and Alor.
The
Vessel
Pindito has
all the lines of a classic wooden sailing vessel. The wooden
and traditional constructions of the Pindito emboss the
cosy and familiar atmosphere on board. The infrastructure
on board ensure a comfortable living on board for all guests.
The lounge is air-conditioned and spacious. Our cuisine
is influenced by international and above all Indonesian
(or Asian) dishes. Breakfast is served in two slots. A little
breakfast is served before the first dive, whereas the main
breakfast-buffet is ready after the dive, and will meet
all expectations.
Lunch
and dinner are always a highlight and are mainly influenced
by Indonesian or Chinese cooking. We always serve meat and
fish dishes with different side-orders separately.
Desserts and Sweets as a special treat for everyone shall
not be forgotten here! In between our crew serves biscuits
and cakes, for the little treats.
At
any time you can have tea, coffee or a cool drink out of
the fridge. Drinking water is available all the time too.
After
the last dive you may enjoy alcoholic drinks for free (except
wine, which has to be paid extra).
