Sea Safari 8 Itinerary

Raja Ampat (SOQ) 4N

Day 1: Sorong

Welcome to Sorong! Our representative will pick you up at the airport and drive you to the harbor to board the Sea Safari Cruises vessel. A welcome drink will be served to welcome you on board and introduction and safety procedure briefing will take place while we sail on the way to our first destination, Mios Kon Island. The journey will take place for a whole day and we will be arriving the next day, so unwind and relax and get yourself ready for a splendid journey tomorrow.

Day 2: Mion Kon Island

The locals often call this one the Bat Island. As the name suggests, tons of bats live on that island. For those who want to see the bats, there are some caves to explore. Some of them also live in the trees. They sleep at noon and go hunting at night. Apart from bats, many birds are also seen there. Witnessing those creatures is indeed a prime activity to do in the island. Despite the secluded location, the island holds tons of beauty, especially the nautical views. The serene beach is mesmerising and the sand has soft texture and stunning colour. When it comes to the sea, it is clear and calm. The colour is beautiful and it becomes the home of lots of fish species. Some majestic corals are also scattered underwater.

Day 3: Paiynemo Island

Piaynemo is a small cluster of islands that are the absolute epitome of paradise. The views are spectacular and you’ll be astounded with the clarity of the water, the stunningly lush islands dotted around, and the marine and bird life that live here. It contains some of the most beautiful coral reefs in Raja Ampat, these remote reefs are bursting with colour and life. This is also a good opportunity to trek to one of the most famous lookouts in the region. The island offers a mesmerising view of hills clustered from the top. From the viewpoint, you’ll see small islands rising up out of crystal-clear water. Snorkelling in this area offers a fantastic coral and a huge amount of fish underneath the stunning turquoise coloured waters.

Day 4: Arborek

On day three, we will cruise to Arborek where you can snorkel at the jetty which is famous for the huge schools of fish that shelter beneath it, and also for the colourful soft corals that cover its piles. There’s good snorkelling from almost anywhere on the island, but the reefs around the island’s eastern end are particularly rich. After snorkelling, we will have a vilage tour around the Arborek village where there are only around 40 families (198 people). The community of the villagers are well-known for the traditional handicraft industry of hats and ‘Noken’ string bags.

Day 5: Sorong

After breakfast, it is time to say farewell and get ready to disembark the boat. Our crew will drive you back to Sorong airport to continue your journey home. We look forward to welcoming you on board again.
