7 Days / 6 Nights Underwater Adventure in Raja Ampat: Explore the Diver's Paradise!
The archipelago of Raja Ampat is located west of the Bird's Head Peninsula, straddling the equator off the extreme north-western tip of Papua province in Indonesia. It composed 610-1500 island (counting rock islands and spurs) the name Raja Ampat literally means the 'Four Kings' and is considered the' last paradise on earth. The islands are Waigeo, Misool, Salawati and Batanta and, together, they form a huge marine park, Cenderawasih Bay, more than 40 thousand square kilometers. The islands are distinguished by the rugged and steep limestone coast, covered with virgin rain forest that extends to the edge of the water. The larger islands are lightly populated, but most are uninhabited and today Raja Ampat is world renowned as one of the most well-known ecological niches of the planet, on par with the Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos. Marine biologists have determined that Raja Ampat is home to 70 percent of the coral species known on the planet. Many of the fish, corals and shellfish living in these waters are found nowhere else on Earth. Yet, while the world below the surface resembles a living kaleidoscope, above the surface there are landscapes that are difficult to forget in tutt life. During this cruise, we will take you in an exploration of far-reaching than what is undoubtedly one of the least visited destinations for adventure, but most memorable of our planet. You need not be a professional diver to be able to live this global epicenter of marine diversity. Nor is it necessary to be an expert birdwatcher to see and appreciate the extraordinary birdlife that led Alfred Russel Wallace in this region more than a century ago. We hope to spot the curious bobbing, as well as the fabulous dance of the red bird of paradise, or hear the shouts of the crested cockatoos and strong wing beats hissing of hornbills in flight.
