Reiserute
The area known as Raja Ampat is an archipelago consisting in 4 main
islands surrounded by over 1500 smaller islands and cays. This area is
part of the West Papua province of Indonesia.
It is certainly the
world’s most biodiverse marine region with more recorded fish, coral and
mollusks species than anywhere else on the planet. Some areas boost
enormous schools of fishes ; there are spots with large groups of manta
rays, other with schools of barracudas, trevallies, bump head parrot
fish, large groupers, and of course always a great variety of critters.
The reefs are varied as their inhabitants, with vertical walls,
seamounts, pinnacles, slopes, caves, lagoons, some more covered with
hard corals and other displaying colorful soft corals. Everywhere you
will find a lot of gorgonians with their resident pygmy seahorses.
Everywhere you will find a profusion of colors and life.
Above the
sea you’ll discover incredibly beautiful landscapes : quartz islands
labyrinths, extensive mangrove forests, deserted beaches and tiny
villages, that are as many opportunities for a visit to shore. During
the trip we will organize some shore visits in villages and in wonderful
lagoon. We will climb the montain to reach a fantastic view point in
Wayag and last but not least we will discover the beauty of the bird of
paradise parade.
