We will start the trip with meeting up at a restaurant at 5 and have a briefing about the trip if you have not made other agreements with Millekul Adventures. If so, we will meet earlier in the afternoon in our guesthouse in Sorong, where you can also leave your bags. Accommodation is not included the first night and is of your own choice. It’s also possible to book an overnight stay in our guesthouse. Contact us to make an agreement regarding our guesthouse.

At dawn we will leave Sorong with a speedboat and reach a Christian village island after approx 4 hours. Where we will walk around in the village for a bit before starting to kayak. We set the kayaks up and first do rescue practise. Later pack your personal belongings and your food plus water for the day. When ready we will kayak over to our lunch beach 2 km away from the village. After lunch and a first great snorkel trip of around 500 m we will continue to kayak. We pass a second village and when enter a huge mangrove bay there we will discover the west side. Approx. 17 km paddling in total with rather empty kayaks. First night in a tent with fans at Camp 1 at the stream mouth of the huge mangrove bay.

In the early morning we break down the camp. We can after that start the day with a long drift snorkel session of around 800 m and get back to the camp beach with kayaks coming by a guide, a wet reentry needed! After that we pack the kayaks and go for explore the east side of the huge mangrove bay with some standing forest and mangroves. Out on the see, a short open water passage to a smaller mangrove atoll that we pass the inside straight through. On the other side a lunchstop at a beach and a snorkeling trip up to 600 m. We paddle the rest to Camp 2 to a small beautiful paradise island and we have two islands to choose between. Approx. 15 to 17 km paddling in total with fully loaded kayaks. First camping night at Camp 2.

We wake up in our first basecamp and maybe start the morning with a swim? Or try snorkelling? Today we are going for a longer day trip with empty kayaks. First pass some smaller islands and when go along a bigger island that has some blue mangrove. Pass over a big sand dune with a fisherman house on stilts. Continue over some coral heads to a beach on the main island for lunch and listening to the jungle orkester at same time. Continue by paddle up in a small river and after continue for visit a cave we heard about but we have not explored yet! We go back another straighter way to our basecamp island. Approx. 16 to 24 km paddling in total with empty kayaks. Shorter if do a straight route and longer if make a wider route as described above. Second camping night at Camp 2.

Depends on which island we have Camp 2. First camping night at Camp 3.

We get picked up by local long boats for be transported over open water to the jungle atoll island group. We arrive to a smaller jungle atoll island there we first make a snorkelling of the reef from the long boat, up to 1,3 km snorkeling. We are set on land on the smaller jungle atoll island there we put up Camp 4, a third base camp. Approx. 7 km paddling with full kayaks. First camping night at Camp 4.

Wake up on our beautiful beach and have an early morning walk on the long beach to find nice shells maybe?

Time to leave again and in the morning we take down the camp, have breakfast and pack the kayaks for go. First we explore a close by mini atoll and when we go to a bigger atoll there we will do a long snorkelling on incredible reefs, up to 1,5 km and the guide take our kayaks from there you want to start. Enter the kayaks again at fisherman huts on stilts. We paddle 2,5 km further to the big jungle atoll and a nice beach. Time for a lunch in the shade of a big tree. Walking on the super long beach possible if you don’t want to have a siesta! After lunch paddle further in standing forest in water to a ”lake” and after do a long channel between the trees and the sea. Also some blue mangrove in the end.

We continue around the island to the west side to our last basecamp in a very beautiful small bay with incredible corals and white sand. And super sunsets! Approx. 10 km paddling with full kayaks. First camping night at Camp 6.

We stay in our basecamp and we can either go snorkel the amazing coral reef around the bay, around 1 km or go trekking either on the long beaches or inland in the jungle and coconut palm plantation. Or why don’t do a last morning kayaking for discover more of the island? Or just relax in our hammocks. Lunch and dinner in the basecamp. After lunch the kayaks are picked up for prepare for the next group (not for the second group!). We have hopefully a nice sunset before go to sleep our last night camping. Second camping night at Camp 6.

In early morning break our last camp and pack. The local long boats pick us up for take us back to the village. We arrive to the village around 10 o’clock and can have a short walk there. Maybe buy a cold soda at the kiosk and give many high fives to all the kids?
To the speedboat that will take us back to Sorong and we will arrive around 4 PM. We will have a taxi back to our guesthouse and you could arrange your own accommodation or book a stay with us. In the evening a farewell dinner and maybe more after if you want to try the Sorong nightlife?
