Journal

A collection of stories from the sea, the Journal shares highlights from our voyages, reflections from the crew, and glimpses into life aboard.

Charting the Ultimate Surf Experience

This month, the KUDANIL crew is deep in the Mentawais, Telos, and Banyak islands, fine-tuning a surf itinerary that blends world-class waves with a sense of discovery.

Across the Banda Sea

Last September, Kudanil Explorer welcomed returning guests on a rare journey deep into Eastern Indonesia. After embarking in Maumere, Flores, we set out across more than 800 nautical miles.

Venturing Beyond Flores

As we sail into July, we pause to reflect on a truly remarkable season aboard KUDANIL Explorer—defined by world-class surf, pristine coral reefs, and meaningful moments shared at sea.

Papua’s Untamed Coastline

On the far edge of Papua, the jungle does not end gently. It plunges straight into the ocean, where dense green meets rolling surf in a raw meeting of elements.
