Join the Bigkanu trimaran for a unique adventure cruise in Raja Ampat. The advantage of a shallow draft means that the Bigkanu liveaboard can go places other boats can't. This means gliding through the jungle-lined passage between Gam and Waigeo islands, backing onto sandy beaches or sliding alongside a village jetty. The boat was designed specifically to tuck into the bays, beaches and islets close to the shore of Raja Ampat, taking guests to places very few people see. The boat is generally backed up to a beach or jetty, giving an advantage of the freedom to wander, snorkel, swim, paddle off on a SUP or kayak or stroll through a local village at sunset without a return deadline.
Bigkanu has 9 small and airy single cabins on board, 3 of which can be converted into double beds for couples. The boat interior is configured for day and night modes. During the day she is opened up to create one large cool cabin, which can then divide into private cabins using louver bifolds. There are two shared flushing toilets and two inside/outside showers. Trampolines surround the boat, and the upper deck shade lounge offers a space to chill out with a view.
Breakfast is a large choice of western favourites, and lunch and dinner are served buffet-style using local fresh produce and minimally processed foods. Meals are served on the back deck or on beaches or moonlit jetties.
For those on a budget who wish to explore the magic of Raja Ampat, the Bigkanu trimaran is a fantastic and unique way to explore the region. Call us or book online to reserve your space today.

What a nice trip!
An excellent trip, well organized going through the main sites of Raja Ampat. The snorkeling was nice and we could see a lot of beautiful sites. Wayag was just „wowww“ and to see it from the top of a limestone was even more impressive. The crew did everything to meet our needs. I would highly recommend this sailing trip.

The crew were fantastic
It was lovely to be able to wake up in beautiful places every morning, usually on our own or possibly one other boat. The crew were so happy and welcoming and every meal was delicious :)
