The Charm of the Easterly Paradise, Raja Ampat

“A hidden Garden of Eden” is perhaps the right expression to describe the beauty of Raja Ampat, a series of virgin coral islands untouched by modernity, rich in the splendors of marine life as a result of it being at the Asia Pacific Coral Triangle.   

Diving and snorkeling become the core activities in these islands. Where else can hundreds of schooling fish dance around you, greeting your presence into their tiny world or see the friendly wobbegong shark welcome you as it feeds from the seabed?  

Exploring the small islets, marveling at the landscape over at the horizon, entering the serenity of The Passage, a tiny waterway enclosed by two sheer cliff walls are like walking into a fairytale world adorned with the colors of the marine life under the surface of the water. The wind gently sways the tobacco leaves and creating smooth ripples on the pristine water, which reflects the blueness of the sky above. You will fell blessed to have the opportunity to see the hidden paradise.   

Welcoming the sunrise on top of the rocky island of Wayag, you will be mesmerized by the beauty of the white chain of coral islets, crowned with green trees emerging from the darkness of the night. The sea turns turquoise blue infested with the dancing salt water fishes clearly visible from afar even from the top of the mountain.  

As far as they eye can see, whichever way you look, the stunning beauty will leave you at awe. Swimming with the fishes, basking in the warmth of the sun, accompanied by the white coral rocks, these are what Raja Ampat has to offer. Spend your days mingling with the fishermen of Tanjung Besi, trading stories under a starry night in front of a warm bonfire.

Cendrawasih

Have your cameras ready to capture this gorgeous bird of paradise, known locally as cendrawasih in the morning. Why morning? Because you will have greater chance to capture the unique and colorful bird in the morning than later in the afternoon. 

Bat Cave

You will be taken to a special place called the Bat Cave, but we are not talking about Bruce Wayne's secret lair. The bat infested cave is unlike any other of its kind for it sits on an open sea, so it takes a boat to get there. 

Hidden Lagoon

After you roam and explore the Bat Cave, you will go to the equally impressive Hidden Lagoon where you can relax and take a dip. But to enter the secluded lagoon you must first snorkel through the cave's stunning stalactite and stalagmite. How's that for an adventure?
