Indonesia: Raja Ampat & Sorong Charter Itinerary

Indonesia: Raja Ampat & Sorong Itinerary

Indonesia: Raja Ampat & Sorong Yacht Charter
A week deep in West Papua, from the port of Sorong into the heart of Raja Ampat, one of the most biodiverse marine regions on earth. This route seeks out hidden bays and uninhabited islands, cruising the fabled Dampier Strait and the karst channels beyond. Expect spectacular scenery and pristine reefs, secret lagoons and stilt-house villages, a true expedition through remote and beautiful waters.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Sorong

Step aboard at Sorong, a busy port at the northern tip of the Vogelkop and the gateway to Raja Ampat. Set sail into the archipelago and anchor off a first jungle-fringed island as the light fades.
