This private live-aboard retreat is suitable for adventurous travellers and avid snorkelers. The voyage offers much more than just a luxury cruise experience of North and Central Raja Ampat, it is an unparalleled expedition that sails around the Dampier Strait up to the stunning Wayag Islands over 8 days and 7 nights.
Crossed by the equator, the unique archipelago of Raja Ampat is known as the Amazon of the Oceans, and has earned the prized Crown Jewel of Indonesia award as a global center of marine biodiversity and one of the most noteworthy ecological niches on the planet, on a par with the Great Barrier Reef and the Galápagos.
Home to the world’s largest manta ray sanctuary and known for one of the richest coral reef ecosystems in the world, Raja Ampat is home to oceanic manta rays and reef manta rays, and 75% of all hard coral species worldwide. There are also dugongs, black tip reef sharks, wobbegongs, the ‘walking’ shark, mobula rays, stingrays, hawksbill turtles, green sea turtles, pygmy seahorses, and a staggering 1,400 species of fishes. You may also encounter the indo-pacific dolphin and bottlenose dolphin.
