The Sail Indonesia Western Passage begins with the leg from Darwin to Kupang which departs from Darwin on July 26 2008, and during the following 3 months you are invited to a series of Cultural Festivals at different locations through Indonesia on the islands of Alor, Lembata, Flores, Sulawesi, Bali, Java, Borneo and finally on to Batam just south of Singapore. |
As in past years the Local Administration at each of these Indonesian islands has planned a number of events at the time of your visit which include a ceremonial welcome and dinner as well as cultural and arts displays and also dance performances. Participants will be able so see some of the more remote parts of Indonesia away from the well worn tourist areas.
At each of these stopovers you will be able to experience different peoples and their cultures, different lifestyles, different arts, crafts, foods and even different languages.
