Hello. I am sorry to post a question about what I am sure has answers contained somewhere in the website, but I have literally searched for hours and am having some trouble figuring it out.
We are trying to figure out where to go next end-of-December (2013) beginning of January 2014. We would be happy going on a nice liveaboard, possibly coupled with a resort. We can really go anywhere and have a generous budget. We do not want to go to the Caribbean (we've been to many places there many times) or Central America (ditto). We loved Palau (Aggressor and PPR) and enjoyed Fiji (Naia), too.
I have considered the Galapagos, but I know it is not whale shark season and I'm concerned about that time of year in general. If it's an okay time, is the Buddy Wolf the right boat? After our last Aggressor experience (Turks), we are not sure we want to try them again.
We've talked about Raja Ampat. I'm not sure about timing for this either. Plus, if it is an okay time of year, which liveaboard? We were supposed to go on the Arenui to Komodo in August but had to cancel (heart breaker....), but the dates it goes to RA don't work with our dates. Damai doesn't have room on our dates either. But, again, I am not sure RA is the right place to go at that time of year.
So where is the best place to go, and with what liveaboard or resort, at the end of December, beginning of January? I would really appreciate as much input as you are willing to give. Thank you for sharing your experience!
