New Papua Explorers Liveaboard

 
Coralia was new in 2019, catering to 16 guests in 8 luxurious cabins. It has spacious decks with lots of relaxation areas, delicious food, and of course spectacular diving and snorkeling. Coralia's journeys are led by our very experienced cruise directors Debbie and Jerry, who have been leading liveaboard curises all over Indonesia for more than 10 years. 
 
The Coralia is operated by Paupu Explorers; the transfer city is Sorong which makes this a straightforward add-on to the Papua Explorers Resort trip the following week.
