About Misool | South Raja Ampat

Exceptional for wide-angle and macro, underwater life, mantas, lots of fish, soft corals and gorgonian fields. 

Raja Ampat also presents magnificent landscapes to explore—labyrinths of quartz islands, vast mangrove forests, deserted beaches, and lagoons. We offer our guests to go for a tour to small villages or in search of the famous birds of paradise…

Now you know why choosing one Raja Ampat diving zone out of the 3 would not make your diving liveaboard experience complete. As well located as the best Raja Ampat resort can be, as fast its speedboats are, a land-based trip even in the most luxurious Raja Ampat resort will push you to nothing else than planning another Raja Ampat adventure as soon as possible. But if you have time, at least 3 weeks in total, then after your Raja Ampat liveaboard luxury diving experience all over the place, chilling on the beach in Paradise will be appreciated.

Raja Ampat also presents magnificent landscapes to explore—labyrinths of quartz islands, vast mangrove forests, deserted beaches, and lagoons. We offer our guests to go for a tour to small villages or in search of the famous birds of paradise…

Now you know why choosing one Raja Ampat diving zone out of the 3 would not make your diving liveaboard experience complete. As well located as the best Raja Ampat resort can be, as fast its speedboats are, a land-based trip even in the most luxurious Raja Ampat resort will push you to nothing else than planning another Raja Ampat adventure as soon as possible. But if you have time, at least 3 weeks in total, then after your Raja Ampat liveaboard luxury diving experience all over the place, chilling on the beach in Paradise will be appreciated.
