Private Charter Raja Ampat
Arrive in Sorong, where you’ll be warmly greeted and transferred to your yacht. Sip a welcome drink as the crew introduces themselves and helps you settle into your cabin.
Awaken surrounded by Misool’s limestone islets. The adventure begins at Magic Mountain, a magnet for majestic manta rays and patrolling reef sharks. Continue exploring the photogenic swim-throughs of Boo Windows, a reef teeming with life. Spend the afternoon kayaking or paddleboarding through crystalline lagoons before dining alfresco beneath a canopy of stars. For night owls, an optional night dive reveals Misool’s nocturnal wonders.
Today’s dives feature Raja Ampat’s most famous underwater peaks — Four Kings, where towering pinnacles attract swirling schools of fish, and Nudi Rock, famous for its vivid soft corals and fascinating macro life. In the afternoon, take a tender ride to Goa Keramat, a hidden sea cave of myth and mystery. The day ends with a sunset beach BBQ and the soothing rhythm of waves against the shore.
Dive the cathedral-like Farondi Caves or the dramatic Dafalen Pinnacles before heading inland to Lenmakana Jellyfish Lake, where you can swim among thousands of stingless jellyfish in a surreal setting. Spend the afternoon at leisure—snorkeling, kayaking, or simply basking in paradise. As the sun sets, we begin our tranquil sail north toward Batanta.
A day of contrasts unfolds. Begin with colorful reefs at Happy Ending, home to turtles, reef sharks, and flourishing coral gardens. Then dive Batanta’s famous muck sites, searching for rare critters like mimic octopus and flamboyant cuttlefish. In the afternoon, take a short jungle trek to the island’s cascading Batanta Waterfalls, where you can enjoy a refreshing freshwater swim. Cocktails on deck accompany our northward cruise toward the Fam Islands.
Immerse yourself in Raja Ampat’s most iconic landscapes. Start with dives at Melissa’s Garden and My Reef, celebrated for their dense coral gardens and swirling fish life. Then hike to Piaynemo Viewpoint for a breathtaking panorama of karst islets and sapphire lagoons. Enjoy a beach picnic and free time to snorkel or paddleboard before an optional night dive.
Spend a relaxed morning at sea as we cruise north through turquoise waters. Stop along the way for a leisurely snorkel at Wofoh Reefs, or dive in Aljui Bay, known for its macro life and vibrant clams. Visit a local pearl farm (optional) to learn about sustainable pearl cultivation. As the sun sets, the yacht continues its serene voyage toward the mystical islands of Wayag.
Welcome to the crown jewel of Raja Ampat — Wayag. Begin with an early hike to the Wayag viewpoint, where jagged limestone peaks rise from emerald lagoons in a breathtaking panorama. Spend the day kayaking, snorkeling, or diving at Cathedral Rock or nearby reef sites. A beach picnic awaits on a pristine sandbank, followed by sunset cocktails and a fine dining experience under a canopy of stars.
Greet the day with a sunrise swim or snorkel amid Wayag’s tranquil lagoons. Explore one last northern reef—home to vibrant coral gardens and graceful reef sharks—before enjoying a leisurely afternoon of water sports or relaxation. As the yacht sets sail south toward Central Raja Ampat, reflect on your adventures with a peaceful evening on deck.
The famed Dampier Strait beckons with some of the richest marine biodiversity on Earth. Encounter gentle giants at Manta Sandy or Manta Ridge, dive the legendary Cape Kri, and marvel at the schooling fish of Sardine Reef. In the afternoon, visit Arborek Village to meet the friendly locals and explore their traditional crafts. Sunset dinner is served on board as the tropical sky glows in brilliant hues.
Dive into two of Raja Ampat’s signature sites — Blue Magic, a submerged pinnacle where pelagics abound, and Mike’s Point, famous for its dramatic coral walls and swirling fish schools. The afternoon is yours to enjoy— kayak, paddleboard, or simply relax on deck as the crew prepares a festive farewell dinner and cocktails to celebrate your incredible journey.
