Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat, in West Papua, consists of over 1,500 islands, islets, and cays, offering rich marine ecosystems, hidden lagoons, and untouched beaches. The waters hold 75% of the world’s coral species, along with manta rays, whale sharks, and colorful fish. Apart from diving, visitors can explore traditional Papuan villages, trek to Pianemo for breathtaking views, and relax in remote island resorts.
