Explore the beautiful islands and waters that comprise Raja Ampat
Off the northwest tip of New Guinea in West Papua, the archipelago of Raja Ampat is made up of over 1,500 tiny islands and cays. Lush forested islets, white sandy beaches and turquoise waters makes this one of Indonesia‘s most idyllic locations.
Raja Ampat translates as Four Kings, and while there are several variations on the tale that gave the archipelago its name, one of the most popular is that of a woman who found seven dragon eggs. Four of the eggs hatched and so were born kings of the four biggest islands in the archipelago.
All the islands are part of the Coral Triangle making the waters of Raja Ampat some of the richest and most diverse in the world. This is a real haven for divers and snorkellers.
Remote and largely uninhabited by humans, the best way to explore this beautiful region is by boat. We can arrange an exclusive private charter with an individual itinerary tailored to your requirements. The rugged, scenic beauty of Raja Ampat make sailing through them, lounging on a spacious deck between dives and enjoying al fresco dining, a rare and very privileged experience.
Highlights
Go snorkelling in the mangroves or kayaking across the azure waters of Mioskin Bay.
Hike the Wayag archipelago with its picturesque karst formations to achieve an awe-inspiring view of the islands.
Observe protected rare birds on their forested island sanctuaries.
For abundant marine-life and vibrant coral slopes, make sure to visit the famed Kri peninsula.
Visit Arborek Island for a trip to the village of Kampung Wisata to learn about local traditions and culture.

When to visit
Although it can be visited all year round, the best time to take a trip to Raja Ampat is between October and April, as it follows a different seasonality to the rest of Indonesia. January is one of the best months to visit Raja Ampat for exclusive yacht explorations, with little rain and balmy days. Calm conditions and low winds are perfect for water activities, both below and above the surface.

Jacada helped us plan the most amazing and seamless honeymoon around Indonesia.

My family and I went on a trip to Vietnam, South Korea and Indonesia. The experience was absolutely fantastic. The planning of the activities, hotels and times for rest was impeccable.
