Raja Ampat Tourism offers an unforgettable vacation experience. The Raja Ampat Islands are a group of islands located in Papua, whose natural beauty is so famous throughout the world that it is dubbed the Amazon of the world's oceans. But what makes Raja Ampat so special in the eyes of the world that it is said that one of the best diving spots in the world is here? Apparently, one of the reasons is the large population of marine life scattered here. A number of studies indicate that more than 75% of the world's fish species, or at least 1500 fish species, can be found here. Not to mention the species of coral reefs, whose types reach 537 corals and 699 invertebrates that add to the exoticism of the underwater paradise of Raja Ampat.

I'm sure there's not much you can say if you've never been to Raja Ampat. With a very strategic marine wealth, the government does not remain silent, Raja Ampat Tourism is also given protected status by law. The government hopes that no party intends to damage the marine ecosystem here solely to pursue their business profits. This is not without reason. Currently, the attention of all parties is focused on marine tourism in Raja Ampat.

Not surprisingly, with all the features that exist, tourism in Raja Ampat is increasingly in demand by many tourists. The most popular tourist activities here are diving and snorkelling to enjoy the enchanting underwater beauty. Here, various types of fish live naturally on coral reefs. When diving, you will be accompanied by a professional diver with complete diving equipment. Even if you have dived in other places, when you see the underwater paradise of Raja Ampat, everything looks different. The coral reefs here are still very natural and inhabited by fish species and other marine animals.

Many people think that the underwater beauty of Raja Ampat tourism is hard to match. But from the results of underwater exploration, it is said that weh island tourism in Sabang may be slightly comparable to the wealth of marine life in Raja Ampat. So if you have time to vacation in Raja Ampat, we recommend you to visit Wayag Island, Waivo Island, Karang Island, Gam Island and Arborek Island. These islands are the most frequently visited. See the beauty of Papua's endemic animal, the Bird of Paradise, on Gam Island. In the Gam Islands, there are four types of Cendrawasih, namely Cenderawasih split rattan, Cenderawasih small, Cendrawasih large and Cendrawasih red.


If you are a rock climbing connoisseur, just go to Coral Island; there are rows of rocks with a slope of up to 90 degrees. Your struggle to reach the top will pay off once you see the beautiful panorama of the Raja Ampat sea. Right on top of the reef lies a green island completely surrounded by a blue sea.
