West Papua (Raja Ampat) Liveaboard Boats

Raja Ampat, or Four Kings, refers to the four main islands in this group: Batanta, Misool, Salawati, and Waigeo. The island group is off the Bird's Head Peninsula of New Guinea. The coastal town of Sorong is the gateway to the Four Kings. Except for one small resort, diving in these islands is possible only from liveaboards. They generally leave from Sorong and head north toward Waigeo or south toward Misool. Either way the diving is exceptional. The islands are sparsely populated. Destructive fishing methods aren't a major problem here so most reefs are thriving.
