About this route

A classic 8-night loop through the heart of Raja Ampat, taking in the high-voltage current dives of the Dampier Strait, the iconic Piaynemo viewpoint and the soft-coral cathedrals of Misool. Expect dense fish action at Blue Magic, Mioskon and Sardines, wobbegongs and pygmy seahorses at Melissa's Garden, and manta encounters when conditions align. Limestone islands, white-sand surface intervals and a final morning at Daram round out the route.
