EcoXplorer

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.

EcoXplorer has 5 cabins taking up to 14 guests, with 10 crew. She sails remote routes: Halmahera, Seram, the Banda Sea, the Forgotten Islands, Cendrawasih Bay, Raja Ampat and Triton Bay. The operation is built around low-impact travel and working with local communities.
