ENQUIRE

SORONG

DAY 1

Embark in Sorong, the gate to magical Raja Ampat. The name of Raja Ampat literally means the ‘Four Kings’ and the region is comprised of over 1,500 islands. Sail through the Damier Strait with pods of dolphins and occasionally migrating whales. Explore Kabui Bay, perfect for watching the aviary life or the bright corals beneath, or enjoy the warm waters wakeboarding.

WAIGEO

DAY 2

Waigeo is the largest of the four main islands in the Raja Ampat archipelago.
Visit Saporen village and follow in the footsteps of the famous naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in a pre-dawn quest to spot the remarkable Red Bird of Paradise, catch a rare and privileged sight of the bird’s elaborate courtship dance as the day breaks over the forest canopy. Later in the day explore the mangroves and trek through the forest to a beautiful waterfall.

PENEMU ISLAND

DAY 3

Penemu is one of the most beautiful islands in the Raja Amapt and also known as ‘hidden bay’. The island offers spectacular scenery to be explored ashore or a 30m-deep wall for divers who can discover impressive giant trevallies, rainbow runners, spotted sweetlips, black snappers, Indian lionfish, species of dragonets and the Pantohe Pygmy seahorse. 75% of the world’s coral species can be found in Raja Ampat alone (that’s 10 times more than in the Caribbean) including 3,000+ species of fish and 700 species of mollusks.

WAYAG ISLAND

DAY 4

Located in the northern part of Raja Ampat, close to the Pacific Ocean, Wayag Island offers a stunning hike with panoramic views of the bays and their tiny islets surrounded by crystal blue water and white sandy beaches. Here is the perfect spot for a barbecue on the beach, snorkeling, beach combing and kayaking.

KRI ISLAND

DAY 5

Located in a natural protected marine park, Cape Kri’s dive site put Raja Ampat on the map when Dr Gerry Allen smashed his record for the total number of fish species seen on a single tank dive - an incredible 374!

MISOOL

DAY 6

The Blue Water Mangroves west of Misool are one of the most magical places. Due to the shallow water and narrow channels, they offer dramatic luminosity and coral reefs in and around the mangrove roots.
It’s a great place to kayak & paddleboard through the mangroves, enjoy other water sports, or relax on the beach.

WAGMAP AND FARONDI

DAY 7

These two islands should be on anyone’s bucket list of places to explore in Southern Raja Ampat for their artistic natural formations and the abundant tropical corals & fish that can be seen when snorkelling.
For scuba divers, the Goa Farondi dive site offers an amazing cave diving experience - the best in the Misool region. It offers depths from 15m to 30m with clear visibility and the Farondi cave boasts some fascinating marine life.

TOMOLOL CAVE

DAY 8

A swim through Tomolol’s mysterious dome-topped cave is undoubtedly one of Raja Ampat’s most memorable activities.
After an early breakfast, the tenders will take you into the heart of the bay to see this partially submerged cave where it is possible to swim, snorkel or simply float while gazing up at the cavernous limestone grotto adorned with astonishing stalactites. The more adventurous can swim or paddle.
