Your Itinerary

blank

DAY 1: BATANTA ISLAND

Arrive in Sorong airport from where it is a short 20-minute journey by private vehicle and tender to Lamima, your home for the next seven nights. Once aboard, set sail for Batanta Island where we will anchor for our first night. The smallest of Raja Ampat’s four main islands, Batanta is the perfect introduction to the beauty of the reef and rainforest.

DAY 2: FAM ISLANDS

In the morning, we will sail to the beautiful Fam Islands to enjoy hidden bays and sheltered blue lagoons. Explore the island by kayak or dive to see some of the most beautiful coral gardens in the region. In the early evening, we will take a sunset hike where you can reach the highest point on one of the islands and admire the panoramic views.

DAY 3: KAWE ISLAND

One of the closest islands to the Equator in Raja Ampat, Kawe Island offers spectacular white sand beaches and beautiful scenery including a lovely waterfall on the western side of the island. Fantastic opportunities for diving and snorkeling awaits, where you will find impressive coral formations teeming with schools of fish. You may even be lucky enough to swim with manta rays.

DAY 4: WAYAG ISLANDS

Arrive in the Wayag Archipelago, the jewel of Raja Ampat, and enjoy a day amongst the region’s most iconic scenery. It’s well worth making the effort to climb one of the many island peaks for breathtaking views of the stunning landscapes. You will also be able to dive or snorkel; experiencing the incredibly rich marine life, or paddle board along the shoreline of the dramatic limestone islands. In the evening we can enjoy a few cocktails and a barbecue on the beach.

DAY 5: WOFOH ISLAND

Wofoh Island is ideal for divers and non-divers alike. Multiple dive sites offer a mix of hard coral, barrel sponges, and soft corals teeming with colorful fish. The calm surrounding waters are ideal for kayaking and paddle-boarding while the islands’ gorgeous white sand beaches are the perfect location for sundowners and barbecue dinner.

DAY 6: KRI ISLAND

The waters of Kri Island offer some of the very best diving in all of Raja Ampat and its spectacular reef holds the world record for the number of fish species recorded in a single dive. As well as great schools of trevallies, tuna, and barracuda, this is one of the few locations where you can spot wobbegongs. A nearby long white sandbank is the perfect place to relax at the end of the day.

DAY 7: KABUI BAY

Rise early and head ashore for a 40-minute trek into the jungle to look for the magnificent Red Bird of Paradise. Afterward, using the tenders, explore ‘The Passage’, a narrow strait that runs between Gam and Waigeo, where the rainforest meets the reef in a labyrinth of limestone teeming with wildlife. Here you can also enjoy bird watching or perhaps partake in some paddle boarding or kayaking before an overnight cruise to Matan Island.

DAY 8: SORONG

Enjoy a final swim before cruising back to Sorong where our journey ends. A tender and private vehicle will transfer you to Sorong Airport for your journey home or onward travel.
