EcoXplorer

Operates in: Banda Sea, Raja Ampat

EcoXplorer is more than just a boat. This vessel was rebuilt in 2022 in South Sulawesi with a traditional Phinisi design and focuses on both ecotourism and supporting local communities in Eastern Indonesia. Originally named “Imbekwan” and used for marine patrols, the boat was donated and transformed to continue its mission of sustainability and community support. All profits from the trips go directly to the EcoNusa Foundation, funding projects that protect ecosystems and provide essential health and education services.

With 5 cabins accommodating up to 14 guests and 10 crew members for comfort and safety, EcoXplorer offers an unforgettable ecotourism experience, sailing to remote and beautiful destinations like Halmahera, Seram, the Banda Sea, Forgotten Island, Cendrawasih Bay, Raja Ampat, and Triton Bay. With a strong commitment to quality and environmental responsibility, the crew ensures every voyage combines adventure with respect for the natural world and local cultures.
