The Raja Ampat, or “Four Kings” archipelago encompasses more than 9.8 million acres of land and sea off the northwestern tip of Indonesia's West Papua Province. Located in the Coral Triangle, the heart of the world's coral reef biodiversity, the seas around Raja Ampat hold the richest variety of species in the world with over 75% of all known coral species and over 1,500 species of fish.
Raja Ampat consists of the four large islands of Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati, and Misool, plus hundreds of smaller islands. In addition to incredible marine life, Raja Ampat offers you other cutting edge experiences such as mangroves, the bird of paradise and other exotic birds along with tropical plants and stunning sunsets.
Sea Safari Crew will meet you at the newly built Domine Eduard Osok Airport in Sorong, West Papua. We will transport you in comfort to our ship in Sorong Harbor. Welcome drinks will be served followed by a full safety briefing, cabin allocation and ship orientation before we set sail towards Misool. This stretch of water is a well known highway for Cetaceans. It's well worth relaxing out on deck and keeping your eyes open for Bryde's whales, sperm whales and pygmy sperm whales, short-finned pilot whales, orcas, false killer whales, pygmy killer whales, lots of different dolphins and even blue whales!

KabuiBay, located in the southern part Waigeo, you can witness the natural phenomenon which formed small islands beautiful and unique result of geological activity thousands of years ago. We snorkel in The Passage, probably the most unique 2 kilometer channel of water you will ever see. It separates Gam and Wagieo islands. Don't me mistaken, it looks like a fast flowing river during the tidal change. It is in fact sea water, bringing with it some unique animals to this habitat including Ghost Pipe Fish, Nudibranch, colorful soft corals that are normally found in much deeper waters. We spend most of the day in this area exploring much like Alfred Russel Wallace did way back in 1869 before he wrote his book The Malay Archipelago.
