Raja Ampat is one of the world’s last wild places where you can find a vast sprawl of tropical island jewels renowned as being the richest on our planet.

An ideal site of nursery and refuge for coral and rare fish species that are disappearing elsewhere in the region and surely the perfect place to get away from daily routines.

Located in Indonesia’s West Papua province, at the northwest tip of New Guinea, Raja Ampat is an archipelago comprising of around 1,500 small islands that surround the four major islands of the area: Misool, Batanta, Salawati and Waigeo.

With their breath-taking scenery of jungle-covered islands, white-sand beaches, exotic lagoons and crystal clear blue waters, Raja Ampat is without any doubt one of the most beautiful island chains in the world.

Due to its quantity and variety of marine life here, scientists describe Raja Ampat as a biological hot spot as well as the reef that is a part of reefs system throughout the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Translates literally as ‘the Four Kings’, referring to the four major islands, Raja Ampat has one of the greatest and healthiest coral reef and marine collection in the world with up to 1,200 species of fish and 550 species of coral.

Part of the “Coral Triangle”, around 70% of the world’s coral species is said to be found in the rich underwater world of Raja Ampat while new species are discovered regularly in these waters
