20% Off | 8-Day Alor Diving Liveaboard | Blue Manta | May 30 to June 6, 2026

KM Blue Manta is offering a 20% late cancellation discount on its 8-day Alor circuit departing May 30, 2026. This round-trip from Alor covers the Pantar Strait, the islands of Kepa, Pura, Ternate, and Buaya, and continues to Pulau Lembata before returning to Alor — up to 20 dives across 6 diving days.

Alor sits at the convergence of three major ocean currents in eastern Indonesia. The result is fish density that consistently surprises experienced divers: schooling pelagics, hammerhead and thresher sharks in the cooler southern waters, and Mola mola (ocean sunfish) on the deeper dives. The black sand at Beanbagan is some of the best macro diving in the region. Surface intervals sometimes feature dolphins, pilot whales, and occasionally blue or sperm whales.

Itinerary

Day 1 — Arrival & Check Dive (1–2 dives)
Arrive at Mali Airport or your hotel in Kalabahi. Blue Manta staff will transfer you to Kalabahi Port (approximately 1 hour). Depending on arrival time: local check dive and/or night dive.

Day 2 — Alor & Pantar Strait (3–4 dives)
Dive the nutrient-rich waters of the Alor & Pantar Strait, visiting the islands of Kepa, Pura, Ternate, and Buaya. Adventurous currents and varied reef formations produce an extraordinary density of coral and fish. A visit to a local village may be included in place of one dive.

Day 3 — Alor & Pantar Strait (3–4 dives)
Continue exploring the Pantar Strait with further dives around the same island group. Same area, different sites — variety within the strait is significant.

Day 4 — Treweg Island & Beanbagan, sail to Lembata (3 dives)
Morning dives at Treweg Island. Move to Beanbagan, a black sand site known for exceptional macro life and critter spotting. Sail to Lembata in the afternoon.

Day 5 — Pulau Lembata (3 dives)
Dive the waters around Pulau Lembata, where smouldering volcanoes reach down into clear water fringed with pristine black corals and large sponges. Sail back toward Alor.

Day 6 — Final Alor Dives (2 dives)
Return to Alor for the final two dives of the trip. Equipment washing and drying time. Last night aboard in Kalabahi Port.

Day 7 — Departure (0 dives)
Early morning check-out (5am–10am). Light breakfast and farewells. Transfer to local hotel or Mali Airport for onward flight.
