Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat, translated to the “Four Kings“, is located off the tip of Bird‘s Head Peninsula in remote New Guinea, Indonesia‘s West Papua province. Best known for its diverse underwater
landscapes on the planet, the Raja Ampat archipelago consists of four main islands Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo, surrounded by 1,500 smaller islands. Situated in the center of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat is a prized crown jewel of Indonesia‘s famed waters and a global center of marine biodiversity. An epicenter for underwater adventure, the Raja Ampat archipelago is one of Indonesia‘s largest protected marine areas and is the world‘s richest coral reef ecosystem. Its vibrant waters are home to over 75% of the world‘s hard coral species, with new species discovered regularly.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.
