SEVEN NIGHTS IN NORTH RAJA AMPAT

This morning, we set sail for the breathtaking Fam Islands—an idyllic cluster of limestone islets known for their turquoise lagoons, secret bays, and rich marine life. Glide through the calm waters by kayak or dive into some of Raja Ampat’s most stunning coral gardens, teeming with vibrant fish and intricate reef formations. As the day winds down, take a scenic sunset hike to the highest point on one of the islands, where sweeping panoramic views of the archipelago offer a truly unforgettable moment.

Located near the Equator, Kawe Island is one of Raja Ampat’s most scenic gems, known for its powdery white sand beaches, lush jungle, and untouched natural charm. On the island’s western side, a picturesque waterfall flows directly into the sea—an ideal spot for a peaceful visit or a refreshing dip.

The surrounding waters offer exceptional diving and snorkeling, with vibrant coral reefs and swirling schools of tropical fish. With a little luck, you may even have the chance to swim alongside majestic manta rays. For non-divers, the calm bays are perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding along the forested shoreline, while beach lovers can simply unwind on the soft white sands, soaking in the beauty and serenity of this remote island paradise.

Wayag Island, often called the crown jewel of Raja Ampat, welcomes you with its dramatic limestone islets, turquoise lagoons, and pristine beaches. Spend the day exploring this iconic archipelago—climb one of the island peaks for panoramic views that define the magic of Raja Ampat. The surrounding waters are perfect for diving or snorkeling, offering encounters with vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life. Paddleboarding along the jagged shoreline reveals hidden coves and tranquil inlets. As the sun sets, unwind with beachside cocktails and a freshly prepared barbecue under the stars.

Kri Island is home to some of the most legendary marine sites in Raja Ampat, holding the world record for the highest number of fish species recorded in a single dive. Divers will be mesmerized by the vibrant reef life, with large schools of trevallies, tuna, and barracuda, as well as the rare opportunity to spot a wobbegong shark.

For non-divers, Kri offers an equally magical experience. Glide over coral gardens by snorkel, explore calm waters by paddleboard, or simply relax on the soft white sandbanks nearby. The island’s crystal-clear shallows are rich with marine life, making it perfect for casual exploration. End the day with a peaceful walk along the beach or a quiet moment soaking in the golden hues of sunset across the sea.

Begin the day with an early trek through the lush rainforest for a chance to witness the magnificent Red Bird of Paradise in its natural habitat—a rare and unforgettable sight. Afterward, board the tenders to explore “The Passage,” a narrow, jungle-lined strait between Gam and Waigeo. This magical waterway, where rainforest canopy meets vibrant reef, is rich with biodiversity and ideal for quiet birdwatching or a gentle paddle by kayak or paddleboard through its maze of limestone formations. With calm waters and immersive natural beauty, Kabui Bay is perfect for both adventure and relaxation before we cruise overnight to Matan Island.

Enjoy a final refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters before we begin our cruise back to Sorong. As your unforgettable journey through Raja Ampat comes to a close, take in the last views of the islands from the deck of Lamima. Upon arrival, a seamless transfer by tender and private vehicle will bring you to Sorong Airport for your onward travel or journey home—carrying with you the memories of a truly extraordinary adventure.
