The highlight of Raja Ampat
The sparsely populated Raja Ampat Islands comprise more than 1500 islands just off Sorong. With its sublime scenery of steep, jungle-covered islands, scorching white-sand beaches, hidden lagoons, spooky caves, weird mushroom-shaped islets, and pellucid turquoise waters, Raja Ampat has to be one of the most beautiful island chains in Southeast Asia.
Unadulterated beauty isn’t the only thing drawing people here, though. Raja Ampat also has abundant wildlife, with a couple of species of birds of paradise dancing in the trees and a diversity of marine life and coral reef systems that are a diver’s dream come true (and fantastic for snorkellers, too). So great is the quantity and variety of marine life here that scientists have described Raja Ampat as a biological hotspot and believe that the reef systems here restock reefs throughout the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.
