The 12-Day Combined, Summed Up
What Sets It Apart
This is the single setup that drops you into the soft-coral walls of Misool AND the karst-and-current arena of Wayag during one charter.
Runs in late April and late September alone — the pair of changeover periods when both regions can be reached at the same time.
The biggest leap your portfolio can take in one go — three separate ecosystems, a built-in weather cushion, and room to reshoot every marquee site.
Leaves plenty of room to fold in the Cendrawasih whale shark add-on should you wish to tack on Triton Bay or Bagan platforms.

The Daily Plan
Land at SOQ, transfer aboard, then cruise through the night heading south toward Misool.
Magic Mountain, Boo Windows and Andiamo. A pair of days spent at the heart of the soft-coral country.
Fiabacet pinnacles, Wagmab and Whale Rock. Big schools and plenty of pelagic movement.
Snorkel the jellyfish lake, trek to the Yilliet rock art, and round off with a closing Misool dive.
A lengthy run north, with an optional Pisang dive along the way.
The biomass of Cape Kri, then Blue Magic and a first run at Manta Sandy.
Manta Ridge or Manta Sandy according to the tide, plus Sardine Reef.
Cruise overnight up to Wayag.
Climb a karst summit, then watch the manta cleaning at Friwen Bondabon.
Dive Eagle Rock, visit the baby shark cove, and explore tucked-away lagoons by tender.
A last dive at Mioskon before stepping ashore in the afternoon.
What Each Tier Costs
Figure on about 1.68–1.72× the cost of a 7-day single-region trip. Entry-level phinisi seldom run the combined loop because of their slower cruising speed.
$126,000 – $228,000
