Trip Overview

Scientists have determined that the waters surrounding the Raja Ampat Archipelago in Indonesia’s West Papua province have the world’s greatest concentration of marine life for a region of its size. Imagine: More than 1,300 species of fish. Six of the world’s seven species of sea turtles. At least 450 species of reef-building coral. (The Caribbean, by compare, has fewer than 70.) Currents rush coral larvae across the Pacific Ocean to constantly replenish reef ecosystems. Some areas harbor large schools of fish. Others offer regular sightings of large species such as grouper and harmless sharks.

On this small-group, ship-based trip, spend your days snorkeling alongside an expert marine biologist and go ashore in search of the elusive bird of paradise.

Please note that this is a fairly rigorous program and is recommended for advanced snorkelers who are strong swimmers.
