INDONESIA – The Coral Triangle of Indonesia sits right in the centre of the archipelago, where phinisi yachts have plied its waters for centuries.
I am on a five-day voyage in this ecological wonderland renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity and breathtaking underwater scenery. It is also home to 75 per cent of the world’s coral species.
