Tour Overview

A 4-day island escape into one of the most biodiverse marine regions on Earth. From Sorong, travel by public ferry and speedboat to Raja Ampat Dive Lodge on Mansuar Island, your base for exploring the towering karst islands of Kabui Bay and the postcard-famous viewpoint of Piaynemo, where turquoise lagoons wind between limestone peaks.

Highlights include Kabui Bay's Batu Pensil rock formation and the exotic sand dune of Pasir Timbul at low tide, the 325-step climb to Piaynemo's mind-blowing lookout, the star-shaped lagoon of Telaga Bintang, and a stop in the island village of Arborek to meet local craftspeople. This is a small-group tour and you may share the journey with other travelers.
