Trevallies, barracudas, bump-head parrotfish, spadefish, surgeonfish, fusiliers often form big schools on the reefs. Mantas rays are generally present on at least two dive sites, and encounters with bigger fishes as tunas, Spanish mackerels, reef sharks and the “carpet shark” – Wobbegong – are frequent.

Our Raja Ampat ultimate liveaboard cruise is one of the very few that visit all the park – down from Misool, up to Wayag on the North –  with a great selection of the very best scuba dive sites of all the area.

 

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

The main highlight of the area is the gorgeous abundance of life, both the fixed fauna such as corals and gorgonians and the stunning abundance of fish. Trevallies, barracudas, bump-head parrotfish, spadefish, surgeonfish, fusiliers often form big schools on the reefs. Mantas rays are generally present on at least two dive sites, and encounters with bigger fishes as tunas, Spanish mackerels, reef sharks and the “carpet shark” – Wobbegong – are frequent.

 

WHAT MAKES THIS TRIP SPECIAL

That’s all-in-1: Misool & Dampier Strait: Excellent wide-angle, amazing biodiversity with mantas and lots of fish. Colorful soft corals and macro. Batanta in this area is known for the macro dives.

The North: the amazing landscape of the small islands. Great underwater life although less spectacular than the South.
