About this route

Prepare for a journey of contrasts, exploring two distinct underwater worlds within Raja Ampat. Your adventure begins with an overnight cruise to the southern wonderland of Misool. Here, you'll dive among a labyrinth of limestone islands draped in some of the planet’s most vibrant soft corals. Sites like Magic Mountain are a spectacle of schooling fish and cleaning mantas, while the Fiabacet chain offers dramatic topography with swim-throughs and packed walls. After several days immersed in Misool's rich biodiversity, you'll cross north to experience a different kind of intensity. This leg takes you through the famed landscapes of Penemu before plunging you into the powerful currents of the Dampier Strait. In place of soft corals, you’ll find staggering schools of pelagic fish, sharks, and the high-octane drift dives that first put Raja Ampat on the map. This is a comprehensive expedition for the dedicated diver.
