Dive Shop Information:

•  

  Transportation to & from the nearest Hotel or Port YES

  There are two daily express ferries from Sorong to Waisai and Waisai to Sorong. The Express Ferry takes around 2hrs and departs daily at 9 am and 2 pm, from either port. They offer both Economy and VIP tickets; the VIP room has a private toilet and air-conditioning. It’s not uncommon for the ferries to depart late (but not that much later than the scheduled time), so it’s always best to allow extra time when taking a flight on the same day as the ferry. For ferries departing at 9 am it is possible to catch a flight after 2 pm on the same day. Current VIP ferry ticket prices are US$55.00 per person one way (excluding taxes) if booked through the resort
