In recent years, it has become fashionable to ramp up destinations by calling them the \u2018Maldives of Vietnam\u2019 or the \u2018Maldives of Thailand.\u2019 Forget about the Maldives. This is Raja Ampat, and to embellish it as anything else would be insulting.<\/h3>\n

Islands east of Bali form a gradient between the known and unknown, fading into both impossible tropical beauty and complete obscurity due to their remoteness. Among islands on the far end of this spectrum, Raja Ampat, which in local language means \u2018Four Kings,\u2019 reigns supreme.<\/p>\n

Consisting of some 1,000 dramatic limestone islands off the coast of West Papua, Raja Ampat is an archipelago in the hinterlands of Indonesia\u2019s exotic far east. \u00a0For those with a passion for travel and a liking of unique destinations, here’s why Raja Ampat demands a dramatic rearrangement of bucket-list priorities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paradise Found<\/strong>\"RajaAmpat<\/p>\n

Part of Raja Ampat\u2019s mythic status is its famed remoteness. It has always been just far enough out of reach to ensure that only well-heeled explorers or divers could go there. But times are changing. After the introduction of the archipelago\u2019s first direct commercial flights in December 2016, it has become more convenient than ever to get there.<\/p>\n

What was once either a multi-pronged journey or multi-day liveaboard cruise can now be done quite painlessly. This puts Raja Ampat in a sort of \u2018Goldilocks zone\u2019 of tourism. Although it\u2019s still relatively unheard of, even the most casual of travellers can get there with a bit of help from us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u2018Rabbit Hole\u2019 of Tropical Wonders<\/strong>\"Raja<\/p>\n

In the iconic sci-fi thriller, The Matrix, a mysterious man named Morpheus offers the protagonist, Neo, an option: a blue pill which promises a return to normal or the red pill which promises to show him \u2018how deep the rabbit hole goes.\u2019<\/p>\n

For clients looking for a getaway in Indonesia, Raja Ampat is the red pill. It\u2019s a chance to visit a place that\u2019s so far beyond ordinary that it might as well be another world. It\u2019s an ultimate paradise destination whose only visitors were once an exclusive club of highly seasoned or well-off travellers.<\/p>\n

The shocking thing about Raja Ampat is that, despite having some of the world\u2019s most dramatic landscapes and beaches, these things are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the archipelago\u2019s real appeal. Its real claim to fame is below the surface.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The World\u2019s Best Diving and Snorkelling<\/strong>\"Raja<\/p>\n

Raja Ampat is the world\u2019s best diving<\/a> and snorkelling destination. Although there are numerous places around the world laying claim to this title, Raja Ampat is the only one with the verifiable proof to back it up.<\/p>\n

In 2006, scientific expeditions led by Conservation International<\/a> discovered some 1,200 species of fish along with dozens of previously undiscovered ones, and nearly 600 species of reef building coral \u2013accounting for almost 75% of the world\u2019s known species. This was sufficient to squarely qualify Raja Ampat for the world record of having the highest density of marine biodiversity on earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For perspective, an area the size of two football fields was surveyed and found to contain more than four times the number of coral species than the entire Caribbean Sea \u2013an area of more than 2.75 million square kilometres in size that also happens to be well-known for diving.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An Ecological Wonder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raja Ampat\u2019s biological wonders don\u2019t stop there. Above the seas, the islands boast incredibly high levels of endemism \u2013species that exist there and nowhere else on earth. In fact, fair comparisons can be made between Raja Ampat and the famed Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.<\/p>\n

In 1860, famed British naturalist, Sir Alfred Wallace visited Raja Ampat as part of his epic survey of biodiversity in the Indo-Pacific. The studies he conducted on rare birds of paradise, insects and mammals found there led him to develop the theory of evolution<\/a> in parallel with Charles Darwin.<\/p>\n

Ecologically, not much has changed since he visited the islands. The jungles and rainforests remain mostly untouched and full of exotic wildlife such as Alfred\u2019s bird of paradise, Waigeo cuscus, blue monitor lizards and giant coconut crabs.<\/p>\n

Anyone with an interest in wildlife and exotic animals will find in Raja Ampat a sort of \u2018lost world,\u2019 where the unique assemblage of creatures is well and truly unlike anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Cultural and Historical Treasure<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Indonesia-GOROKA-PAPUA-NEW-GUINEA-People-TribalPeople-Shutterstock_175827320\"<\/p>\n

The intense beauty and natural richness of Raja Ampat wasn\u2019t lost on our ancestors who have inhabited the islands since time immemorial. From Neolithic cave paintings<\/a> to relics from the Era of Four Kings for which the islands are named, Raja Ampat hosts a variety of archaeological attractions that can easily fill in gaps between island hopping, diving the world\u2019s most spectacular reefs, and exploring unexplored jungles.<\/p>\n

History buffs will rejoice in the somewhat turbulent recent history of the islands, as they played a critical role in the fight for control over the South Pacific during World War II. Consequently, the islands host a range of former Japanese and Dutch army bunkers, as well as wrecks and other war remnants that have been left behind.<\/p>\n

Culturally, the islands are as rich as the nature surrounds it. Locals, although a bit shy due to a lack of tourism, are famously hospitable. In the North and West of the largest island, Waigeo, it\u2019s possible to see traditional bamboo flute performances or war dances. For those looking for more hands-on experiences, it\u2019s possible to create a traditionally-styled wooden sculpture alongside a local Asmati artisan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Perfect Paradise<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Raja
\nThe combined effect of Raja Ampat\u2019s unique attributes is a one-off paradise that is quite literally beyond compare. Regardless of a traveller\u2019s affinities, whether they be natural or cultural, the islands offer superlative \u2018rabbit hole\u2019 experiences that all but ensure the trip of a lifetime for guests.<\/p>\n

In light of Raja Ampat\u2019s newfound accessibility, we\u2019ve created two tours that streamline the process of getting there while highlighting the island\u2019s incredible wonders. Our Stint in Raja Ampat<\/a> (4 days, 3 nights) is the perfect add-on to tours in Java or Bali while our Raja Ampat Expedition<\/a> is an immersive (7 days, 6 nights) journey by luxurious cruise boat through the island\u2019s most spectacular offerings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
