Our short extension to the tiny Kai archipelago takes us to Kai Kecil and Kai Besar - the two largest islands, each hosting its very own suite of endemics. A short trip to Haruku Island should produce Moluccan and Dusky Megapodes, before we head to Kai Cecil and Kai Besar where we’ll search for the endemic Kai Monarch, Golden-bellied (Kai Kecil) White-eye, the elusive Kai Cicadabird, keyensis subspecies of Rufous-sided Gerygone, endemic assimilis subspecies of Northern Fantail (Kai Fantail) and the ubiquitous and noisy Spangled Drongo (Kai Spangled Drongo), Kai Coucal, Pearl-bellied (Kai Besar) White-eye and localised Cinnamon-chested Flycatcher.

What our clients say about us

Keith Valentine
MM, Remote Indonesian Islands Cruise 2017

My thanks to Keith and Glen Valentine for taking so much time in getting me on the birds. They are so patient and really nice.

Glen Valentine
MW, Indonesia - Buru Extension II 2025

This extension provides the opportunity to observe some very rare birds. Highly recommend that keen clients on the cruise take advantage of this opportunity. Glen gets a gold medal for excellent guiding under difficult circumstances.

Lev Frid
AS & FS, Indonesia 2022

We had a fantastic time. Everyone looked after us so we’ll, very well organised! Many thanks for putting a together a brilliant birding tour. It was everything we hoped for and more

Glen Valentine
DB, Indonesia - Remote West Papuan Islands Cruise I 2025

What an awesome trip. Traveling on the ship was comfortable, convenient and a lot of fun. Glen and Dusan are fantastic. The local guides were also great and took great care of us. The birds were amazing even those that we only saw briefly were still very special to see at all. The only problem was that I didn't want the tour to end. We would have love to continue to explore more islands. We hope to visit Indonesia again with Rockjumper.
