Indonesia - Raja Ampat: on my way to Manyaifun (Day 1 of 14)

Raya Ampat Feb 2017:

 

Located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia's West Papua province, Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays, and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau. Raja Ampat archipelago is the part of Coral Triangle which contains the richest marine biodiversity on earth.

 

It was my second journey to Raja Ampat and this year I choose to visit the more remote north. After being picked up by the local people of the island from Waisai, we spend three and a half hour to reach my homestay. It was an amazing journey. The colors changed at sunset and the water flat and calm became like a mirror. Fish jumping and flying out of the water while the island Manyaifun was appearing on the horizon...
