Charter release · 30% off
Raja Ampat, "the four kings", holds three quarters of the world's coral species and more than a thousand species of fish. Few places span the scale from oceanic manta to pygmy seahorse in a single dive.
The wobbegong shark, found only around Indonesia and Australia, is the local mascot. Above the surface, the emerald karst lagoons of Piaynemo and Wayag are a landscape you will not see anywhere else.
Water 27–31°C · visibility 15–30 m · 3 mm wetsuit · port of Sorong
Sorong to Sorong. The dive plan is set daily by the cruise director according to tide, current and weather.
