Introduction
Raja Ampat, in the Coral Triangle, offers experiences that stay with you. Here are the places we return to again and again.
1. Misool
The southern island is a haven for divers and snorkelers — coral gardens, manta rays, pygmy seahorses, and Tomolol Cave.
2. Wayag Islands
The iconic karst cluster. A hike to the viewpoint rewards you with lagoons and the Pacific horizon.
3. Piaynemo
Wooden stairs wind up a karst island. The view is a stairway to turquoise water and green islets.
4. Arborek Village
A coral-cay community for dance, crafts, and a glimpse of Papuan hospitality.
5. Batanta Waterfall
A freshwater oasis reached through jungle and streams — a reminder that Raja Ampat is more than reefs.
6. Kri Island
Some of the best snorkeling in Dampier Strait without the need for tanks.
