Description
This 8-night itinerary through Raja Ampat expands the exploration of the archipelago to combine the dynamic Dampier Strait with areas like the Fam and Penemu Islands. In the center, Cape Kri—a location holding the world record for 374 species of fish in a single dive, recorded by Dr. Gerald Allen in April 2012—along with Blue Magic and Sardine Reef, offer drift dives with large schools of fish, reef sharks, and manta rays.
To the north, the hard coral gardens of Melissa's Garden and the karst viewpoints of Penemu add unique landscapes above and below the water. The fauna includes wobbegong sharks or carpet sharks, pygmy seahorses, and the rich biodiversity that defines the Coral Triangle, where more than 550 species of coral have been documented.
The journey takes place over pristine reefs and combines high-energy diving with more tranquil stops in lagoons and villages.
