Why visit Raja Ampat?

Raja Ampat, meaning Four Kings, is an archipelago of more than 1,500 islands off the western tip of New Guinea, in Indonesia's Southwest Papua province. It lies at the heart of the Coral Triangle and has the highest recorded diversity of reef fish and corals in the world, which makes it a bucket-list destination for divers and snorkellers.

Most visitors fly to Sorong and take the ferry to Waisai, then stay in homestays or dive resorts on islands such as Kri, Gam, Mansuar and Arborek. Climb to the viewpoint at Piaynemo for the classic view of green karst islets in a blue lagoon, and see the mushroom-shaped islands of Wayag in the far north. Dive sites like Cape Kri, Blue Magic and Manta Sandy have huge fish schools, wobbegong sharks and manta rays, and the house reefs are rich even for snorkellers. Watch red birds-of-paradise display in the forest at dawn. A marine park fee is required. Travel is slow and costly, but the reefs are among the healthiest anywhere.
