Raja Ampat

Diver's paradise — the last true paradise on Earth, from $600 per person.

Overview

The Richest Reefs on Earth

Four kings, 1,500 islands, and more marine species than anywhere else on the planet. Raja Ampat is where manta rays school, wobbegong sharks nap under coral heads, and lagoons glow an impossible turquoise.

We run small-group liveaboards and island-hop stays with Papuan dive masters — plus snorkeler-friendly routes, because you don't need a tank to meet a turtle here.
