Raja Ampat Itinerary
The following itinerary is for example purposes only.
Your actual itinerary may vary due to weather or other environmental conditions and at the Captain's discretion in order to seek out the best available diving during your cruise.

Day 1 (Embarkation)
Bali Gateway: Fly from Ujung Padang to Sorong.
Manado Gateway: Fly from Manado to Sorong.
Jakarta Gateway: Fly from Jakarta to Sorong.

Transfer from airport to Dewi Nusantara and embarkation
You'll be picked up at the airport of Sorong and taken to the yacht by private transfer.
Once all the guests are onboard, the boat will leave the harbor and head for the breathtaking region of Misool.

Day 2
Misool
You will do your check out dive at a calm site chosen to familiarize you with the region. The dive site, Vrenelies Gaertli is very large and diverse, easily affording several dives here. Dive-throughs, drop-offs and over hangs, all covered in beautiful corals makes Vrenelies Gaertli a special site.
There is time in the afternoon to explore the incredible landscape by zodiac. Above the water, Misool is a breathtaking region with caves, caverns and huge rocks covering the landscape. Underwater, it's a wonderful combination of various species of fish, hard and soft corals, sponges, nudibranches plus all kinds of non-vertebrates like cuttlefish and octopus. There are also epaulet sharks here, only found in Raja Ampat.

Day 3
Misool
Day three is a special day on which we will combine more great diving around Misool with an excursion into the fabulous island labyrinth. You will go by zodiac through channels and valleys. Enjoy a walk to a cave on land and a visit to see native tombstones.

Day 4
Mansuar
You will head north away from Misool to Mansuar, an Island that could easily be re-named Manta Island. Not much more you can say about the diving here.

Day 5
Jef Fam
From Mansuar You will head a little northwest to Jef Fam, a group of islands featuring sites where you'll once again have the opportunity to see the wobbegong and epaulet sharks, unique to the region. You'll dive the region of Batu Burung where the dive sites are covered in colorful hard corals. A couple of other notable sites are Dinding Mera, a spectacular red wall full of soft corals and nudibranches and Warna Banyak, a relaxing drift dive through a coral-filled channel.

Day 6
Kawe
Kawe is our next destination and will take us to the top of the equator. Here you'll visit Jurang Dalam, sometimes called 'deep valley' though it is only 25 feet in depth. For some reason it attracts sweetlips, Barsche, Glasfische, batfish and napoleons. Other sites you might visit include Batu Kiri and Hutam Hitam. There's also Berbados Cadas with its split rocks and dive-through which offers a topographical change to the scenery of this region.

Day 7
Wajag
You will move a little more north to Wajag where you'll enjoy topside and underwater adventure. Zodiac excursions through the labyrinth will provide breathtaking images that will last a lifetime. Underwater, the landscape is quite different with Jamur Selatan, Jamur Tengan Utara rising up in the sea like mushrooms.
With an agreeable current, you can easily dive around them. At times, the currents from the Antarctic bring cool water and huge schools of jackfish, tuna, rays and even blue marlins!

Day 8
Uranie
Today, You will arrive at Uranie where there's a large cavern waiting to be explored! This cavern is huge with ample light coming in so you need not worry about claustrophobia. The atmosphere in the cavern is mystical and calm, offering a fascinating light show. Below on the cavern's bottom you'll see sleeping sharks that seem unreal.
From here You will most likely move to Batu Coquille where huge rocks rise up from the ground and water. The current here draws manta rays and barracudas.

Day 9
Waigeo/Eagle Rock
You will make your way to the area of Waigeo where You will visit Eagle Rock, just around the corner. Eagle Rock is unlike anything you've seen so far. The protruding rocks in the middle of the sea are quite spectacular. On dives here you'll find white beaches with black coral gardens, great visibility, sweetlips, batfish and a variety of rays.
In the afternoon You will visit Sel Pele Bay where topside and underwater delights await.

Day 10
Wafak
Wafak is the so called black forest of Indonesia. At about 90 feet there's a black coral garden to enjoy at your leisure.
You will stay here for a sunset dive and hope to see Mandarin fish and mimic octopus.

Day 11
Kri
You will be in Kri today where world records in counting different species have been broken.
You'll be able to get some great pictures here where famous underwater photographers have shot some of their best work. You will head back to Sorong for departure while we enjoy our final night celebration onboard with a special traditional song and dance presentation.

Day 12
Disembarkation in Sorong.
You'll be taken to the airport by our private transfer to the airport.
All domestic flights back to your Indonesia Gateway city complete their journey on this day.

Post Disembarkation Day
Board International flights for home or begin your land extension to visit other magical Indonesian destinations - how to get to Raja Ampat.

How to get to Raja Ampat

Sorong is the harbour town in West Papua and the normal departure point to dive Raja Ampat.
If you are unsure of how to get to Sorong to start your trip it will depend on where your international flight into Indonesia is landing.
We recommend flying to Jakarta or Bali to make your entry point into Indonesia and each has it's pros and cons as explained below.

From Jakarta to Sorong with Garuda air is an over night flight arriving in the morning perfect for a pick up by your liveaboard crew at the airport.
The downside of this is that you may be awake most of the night before your board the liveaboard depending on if you sleep on flights but most boats cruise only on the first day so you can catch up on your sleep during the day.
Garuda currenlty also offers a 23K sports bag allowance which includes diving equipment on top of the usual 20 Kilos and bearing in mind it is Indonesia's most reliable airline this is the one we recommend as you can also purchase the tickets yourself but there other airlines and options but generally Garuda is the most reliable being the national carrier airline.
(most other Indonesian airlines won't let you purchase tickets without an Indonesia creit card).
Garuda JAKARTA - SORONG GA682 etd 00.30am eta 06.35am direct.

Flights from Bali to Sorong are not quite so simple and can be done in one day but you will need a stop over on the way or to spend a night in Sorong before the trip as the flights arrive too late in the day to join a Liveaboard the same day if you do it in one day from Bali to Sorong.
You will need to fly from DPS (Bali) to UPG (Makassar) the day before your liveaboard and stay over night in Makassar in a hotel or guesthouse and then continue on with the UPG (Makassar) to SOQ (Sorong) flight early the following morning, arriving the day of your liveaboard departure early enough to go straight onto the boat.
This ends up being perfect timing to be picked up on your arrival in Sorong at the airport to then be taken to the boat.
The other option is going through UPG again in the same day and arriving after lunch in Sorong and then spending the night in Sorong before being picked up the next morning for your liveaboard.
This takes longer but you might arrive more refreshed than the Jakarta route and of course you could always factor in a stay in Bali before or after your trip, this flight is also by Garuda airlines.
Please ask us if you need advice on a local flight agent, we only advise but do not book the actual flights for you.

Recently Garuda, our recommended airline, has made it possible to purchase their tickets online and we recommend you take this approach if it is possible.
Other airlines are cheaper but are not so trustworthy or have such good luggage allowances.
Dive insurance is mandatory but as well as the Mandatory Dive Insurance we HIGHLY recommend Trip and Travel Insurance on the off chance of missed or cancelled flights / lost baggage / documents / money / passport or Covid issues or any other unforeseen problems that could possibly occur. Dive Assure Insurance offers cover for all these eventualities as well as complete Dive Insurance all in one package.

It is also possible to come throught Kuala Lumpur (KUL) in Malaysia to Denpasar (DPS) in Bali or Jakarta (JKT) with Malaysian Airlines and then join one of the above 2 options above to get to Sorong.
Please note: Flight times may vary and should always be double checked.
