Trip Highlights

Uncover nature’s best kept secrets in Raja Ampat

Wayag Islands


The most iconic of the Raja Ampat islands with its surreal karst landscapes and atolls.

As you pull into Wayag, deep blue waters turn to turquoise and mushroom-shaped islets appear before your eyes. This is a protected cluster of islands on the edge of the Pacific where the mostly shallow waters are miraculously calm, as if Mother Nature has sculpted an elaborate landscape for creatures needing a respite from the harsh wilderness.Human explorers get the same gentle and welcoming treatment, and the stunningly clear and calm waters of Wayag are ideal for a range of activities including kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. For explorers who just want to kick back and relax, take a tour on one of Aqua Blu’s tenders to discover magnificent limestone formations at every turn and find a private beach to call your own. Just about anywhere you can put your face in the water is a snorkeling site, whereas divers can opt to explore majestic underwater cathedrals in the vicinity.

Another highlight of Wayag is climbing the stairs to Pindito summit to capture the unforgettable and iconic vista of the island cluster.

Cape Kri

A marine sweet spot with impressive biodiversity in the nutrient-rich Dampier Strait.

Incredibly nutrient-rich because of the currents it receives from the Indonesian Thoroughflow, Cape Kri in the Dampier Strait supports an amazing number of reef fish that form part of a massive marine food chain in full display. You may well witness nature in full motion in a single dive or snorkel, with pelagic species such as whales trying to feed on smaller fish.Cape Kri is also known for its manta ray cleaning stations, where these massive creatures queue up to get their skin, gills and teeth cleaned by parasitic copepods and a variety of small cleaner wrasse species — an amazing sight to behold.

With a massive elongated sandbar on the Eastern end, Cape Kri is also an ideal place to swim and simply walk on powdery fine sand while you soak in the tranquil surroundings. Explorers can also venture with a guide into the lush forest in search of elusive bird of paradise species.

Kabui Bay

An expansive inland sea with unique sights and experiences.

Sailing into Kabui Bay, explorers have the oppotunity to discover remote local villages that are adorned spectacular caves. Some of these caves are full of bats, others have been used for burials in ancient times, and some may feature ancient rock art.The western end of Kabui Bay is also known as ‘The Passage’. This shallow waterway winds for almost a mile, with jungle spilling onto its shores and giving the appearance of a tropical river. The Passage is a famous diving and snorkeling site where the odd banded archerfish can be seen stalking its prey just under the water surface. In the vicinity lies a maze of little islands which is a haven for kayaking.

Dayang & Birie Island

A rewarding and one-of-a-kind inner coastal waterway journey.

In this leg of the cruise, Aqua Blu charts a picturesque passage between the major island of Bantata and smaller clusters of islands between Dayang & Birie, stopping for a whole gamut of activities in the nature-rich area. Discover birds of paradise on inland forest walks, or dive to explore mangroves and a wreckage of World War II P47D fighter plane near Wai.

Arborek Island

Visit a Papuan village and get up-close with manta rays.

Home to a friendly and welcoming community of Papuan descent, the tiny Arborek Island (it takes just 10 minutes to walk around it) is also home to a significant manta ray reef complex. At low tide, a lot of the reef is exposed and it is in these shallow channels that the manta rays like to feed and get cleaned. All around Arborek Island are excellent snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding spots.
