5.0 Pulau Wayag (137 reviews)
- Spectacularly Amazing!
Nature & Wildlife Areas

Wayag Island is one of incredible place i ever seen in Indonesia. Must go hiking to view a spectacular real picture of Raja Ampat, its 30 minutes trekking of 45 degrees slope, for sure you'll get tanning when you reach the top, its a worth experience indeed. Make sure you wear hiking foot wear and glove is recommended. Stay overnight at Concervation International (CI) as a base camp. You can just jump into a clear blue water where you can snorkle with fishes & 3 sharks that didn't give any attention with your presence around them, then a stunning sunset awaits you in the afternoon. The next morning do islands hopping and take a beautiful unspoiled pictures, the water is so calm so you can see its mirroring the reefs. Beautiful!! Best month to visit Raja Ampat is on Sept - Dec See more..

5.0 Sea Sanctuaries Trust (7 reviews)
- Penemu, a true adventure
Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas

I can honestly say my Trip with www.seasanctuaries.org was one of the most memorable of my life. We set sail from Sarong and spent a couple of weeks exploring some of the most unique dive spots in Raja Ampat. The adventure also included working with the local villages of Saukabu, Saupapir and Fam which made the whole experience feel so much more real than simply being on a Dive holiday. We busied ourselves each day with diving and conservation work which involved fish id and transecting. Steve did an excellent job of co-ordinating the volunteers and both Simon and Whitney really helped us understand the importance of what SS is doing in Raja Ampat. Aswell as conservation work we relaxed under the stars on the top of the boat or had beach bbq's on the local sands. This is a unique experience and one i cant recommend highly enough - incredible diving, great people and you come away feeling you've done something truly altruistic, amazing. See more..
5.0 Atlas Pearls Farm (1 review)
- Wonderful visit to the Pearl Farm
Spent < 1 hour Farms

Atlas Pearls' Raja Ampat pearl farm at Alyui Bay is a remote yet pristine location where some of the world’s best South Sea pearls come from. The farm tour is as rustic as the location yet we also have some of our most prized loose pearls and classic strands and fine jewellery available. An Atlas South Sea pearl, the very best souvenir from Indonesia’s most remote corner, Raja Ampat. See more..
4.5 Pasir Timbul Beach (62 reviews)

Spent More than 3 hours Beaches

4.5 Manta Sandy (14 reviews)
- Fantastic
Spent 2-3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas

One of the easiest cleaning stations I've dived at. Have a nice sandy area to wait for the mantas to arrive with coral behind you to keep you interested till they do. Sitting at 16meter you can send your hour there easily. About an 30min boat ride from Biodiversity nature resort. Which have excellent dive guides that really have a great knowledge of mantas and how to respect with them. But getting you up close to them in the correct manner, and no harrassment of mantas. Really great place to dive See more..
4.5 Kabui Bay (9 reviews)
- Beautiful Karst Stones islands
Bodies of Water

Beautiful areas of Teluk Kabui with Batu Pensil and Face Rock as Icon to entrance to Raja Ampat, near Waisai. Good picture taking. See more..
4.5 Telaga Bintang (8 reviews)
- It does look like a star
Bodies of Water • Lookouts

We went there on peak season so we waited for a while before climbing up. Expect it to be long since the terrain is uneven rocks. Climbing up were a struggle and going down also has its own struggle trying to balance your self holding a camera bag, but it was worth it. See more..

4.0 Air Terjun Malol (1 review)
- The magnificent of Malol Waterfall!
Waterfalls
It was 2 years ago when my family and I visited Malol Waterfall. That was my first time visited it and it made me amazed by its beauty. This magnificent waterfall is located in Gamta Village, West Misool District, Raja Ampat. From Gamta, it took us 1 hour to navigate Gamta river to the speedboat parking area and from the speedboat parking area we had to walk around 1 hour through the forest to find the waterfall. Along the way, we could hear the sound of the birds and enjoyed the forest. Also, through the Gamta river we could see the native people who live in the forest and we could see them making Sago (traditional food of Papua). The waterfall has 5 stages, the best stages is in the fifth stages as the stage is the biggest waterfall. I really enjoyed the view, air and the cold water. This place is suitable for those of you who like adventure and nature as this place is still virgin. FYI there is no tourism facilities there so you need to prepare your meal and tracking equipments because the track was very challenging. See more..
