Stay in Raja Ampat & go on Excursions

Discover Raja Ampat from a boutique guesthouse

6 days/5 nights ● from/to Sorong, West Papua ● Private Tour ● 5 nights in secret boutique hotel

You don’t have to go on a cruise to discover Raja Ampat. Stay in a charming stilt bungalow on a deserted island and take day trips to experience why Raja Ampat is called the last paradise on earth. There are many local guesthouses and resorts in Raja Ampat. Here we present one of our personal recommendations. Turquoise waters, pristine white sand beaches, lush green jungle walks – this is your daily routine this week. Plunge from the private terrace of your bungalow and encounter manta rays and turtles in a beautiful coral garden. During this week in paradise, you’ll alternate between relaxation and exploration. You’ll take snorkelling trips to famous underwater sites, hike to Batanta Waterfall, and discover the picturesque islands of Piaynemo.
