Raja Ampat

Plan the ideal time to embark on your Raja Ampat cruise

Aqua Blu sails Raja Ampat from December through to February.

In the Far East of Indonesia where Raja Ampat is located, the monsoon season runs opposite to most of the country. This means that from October through to May, Ambon & Spice Islands in particular receives little rainfall.

Taking sea condition into consideration, the best month to sail Ambon & Spice Islands is from October through to March. This period also sees manta rays congregate at their cleaning stations, which makes for a truly marvellous sight.

Due to its equatorial location, Raja Ampat’s temperature remains fairly constant, with daytime maximums of 88 degrees Fahrenheit (31 degrees Celsius) and nighttime lows of 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius).

Rainfall in Raja Ampat from December to February remains constant at an average of 211mm per month.

The region of Raja Ampat is dominated by microclimates, which means weather can differ from island to island and hour by hour. It’s not uncommon for rain to fall for a short period (five to 50 minutes) only for bright sunshine and blue skies to return afterwards!
