JOIN TO OUR WHALE WATCHING SAILING

The fifteen islands of the Alor Group offer some of the most spectacular scenery above the water and below the water. Formed by volcanoes, these islands rise from the seabed where the Indian Ocean and the Java Seas converge. While the Alor Island group is very isolated, it is a place that only a few people have come to know, ensuring you of a true "get-away-from-it-all" holiday.
