The heart of the coral triangle, reefs on steroids, the best diving in the world, highest biodiversity in the world…. Only few lines that are used to describe the Diving in Raja Ampat.

Raja Ampat is an area in the far northeast of Indonesia and consists of 4 islands (Misool, Selawati, Batanta and Waigeo) and literally translates to the four kings.

The tour starts and ends in Sorong/Waisai.

Our itinerary covers the central part around the Dampier Strait and Batanta and the southern part of Misool to give you the opportunity to see all the best spots in Raja Ampat, the northern area including Wayag is only visited on special trips. More than 1.700 species of fish and 600 species of corals are found here. The Marine protected area with a no take zone in Misool ensures the health of corals and fish populations, a study in 2008 shows that the shark and fish population went up by 60-200% compared to ten years before.

Here, you can see Wobbegong Sharks, Reef and Oceanic Mantas, Pygmy Seahorses in all variations plus many endemic species from little Shrimp Gobies to the rare Walking Shark. The shear amount and variety of reef fish will leave you in awe, combined with pelagics and occasional whales and dolphins on the surface and even a muck diving spot in the south of Batanta rounds up this trip to a once in a lifetime diving experience.

Secluded dreamlike beaches, stunning limestone cliffs and islands and the famous bays and channels invite for a tour with the speedboat, viewpoint visits or sunsets with the toes in the sand.
