Find your perfect onboard experience:
signature experience
Signature Experiences on Augustine Phinisi are thoughtfully designed to embody the boat’s spirit — meaningful, personal, and rooted in connection. Each voyage goes beyond a holiday, inviting guests to form genuine bonds with the local communities and natural environments they encounter, while giving back along the way.
Bajo Tribe Tour
Step into the village by the sea that inspired Avatar: The Way of Water. Experience life as it has been for generations, with communities of traditional fishermen living in harmony with the ocean. Visit the local school, meet the island children, and share in a cultural exchange that leaves a lasting impact. Through a collaboration with Augustine Phinisi, guests are invited to donate books to the school library — a small gesture that creates a meaningful connection between travelers and the community.
Be a Marine Biologist for a Day
Join a hands-on coral conservation experience. Learn about coral reefs and the challenges of coral bleaching in a short, engaging session led by our onboard marine biologist. Guests will have the chance to collect data for the University of Queensland’s CoralWatch citizen science project — a simple yet meaningful way to contribute to global reef research. This wholesome program is designed to inspire awareness, foster curiosity, and give back to the fragile ecosystem that makes Indonesia’s seas so extraordinary.
