Alor and Forgotten Islands Liveaboards – Remote Indonesia
Alor is a small island group east of Flores in Indonesia. Cold water rising from the deep keeps the coral healthy and brings in big fish, while the bays hide rare small creatures. Further east, the Forgotten Islands are visited by only a few boats a year, on long crossings.
