UBUD - CRUISING
After breakfast, transfer to Benoa habour for the start of your 7 day cruise
aboard the OMBAK PUTIH or “White Wave”, a beautiful traditional schooner
reviving the days that the waters in and around Indonesia were ruled by the
Buginese. Whenever possible, more than 600 sq. meters of sails are raised, but
the vessel relies on an engine to safeguard the schedule. Sail from island to
island in traditional style blended with all modern comforts. The hull and deck
house are completely made of wood. Below deck are twelve spacious cabins, each
with private bathroom and air-conditioning. The Ombak Putih is a forerunner in
safety and environmental protection at sea, combining tradition with modern
technology and awareness of Indonesia’s natural resources.
