THE LAST EDEN ON EARTH. 10 to 14 DAYS>
Located off the Northwest tip of the Bird’s head peninsula in the indonesian west Papua province, Raja Ampat, or the Four King, is an archipelago comprising over 1500 small islands, cays, and shoals surrounding the four main island of Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau.
According to Conservation International, marine surveys suggest that the marine life diversity in the Raja Ampat area is the highest recorded on Earth. Diversity is considerably greater than any other area sampled in the Coral Triangle composed of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and East Timor. The Coral Triangle is the heart of the world’s coral reef biodiversity, making Raja Ampat quite possibly the richest coral reef ecosystems in the world.
1,508 fish species, 537 coral species ( 75% of all species that exist in the world), and 699 mollusk species, the variety of marine life is staggering. Some areas boast enormous schools of fish and regular sightings of sharks, such as wobbegongs.
Cruising and diving Raja Ampat, surrounding by its karst pinnacles, primary forest and white sand beaches, is a true unique experience.
From The famous Dampier Strait, to the islands of Penemu, the Aljui Bay, the stunning Wayag lagoon or the unbelievable Misool, The Lambo Liveaboard is bringing you in the best diving area.

DAY 5 : MISOOL- PENEMU ISLAND
More great examples of Raja Ampats diversity. The Penemu Islands very recently became an Marine Protected Area and we spend most of our time here in the M.P.A. Melissa’s Garden has probably the best complete coral coverage you will ever see and no visit to these islands is complete without seeing the Hidden Bay.
DAY 6 : PENEMU – ARBOREK
The morning dives are at Manta Sandy where we regularly see the Black / White and the all Black Manta Rays come to cleaned. This famous site now has a line of dead coral where guests line up and watch the show. Third dive is a beautiful coral / fish dive close to Arborek Island where guests can also have a sun set walk on the beach before the fourth / night dive at the village jetty.
DAY 7 : ARBOREK – DAMPIER STRAIT
Finishing off your great trip with two shallow dives in the Dampier Strait which has some great action packed fish dives, like Cape Kri and Blue Magic. After your busy diving schedule has come to a sad end we will have a lazy afternoon on Pulau Pasir (Sand Island) before returning to Sorong.
DAY 8 : DAMPIER – SORONG DEPARTURE
After breakfast the Cruise Director will escort the guests to either the airport / hotel and will assist with checking in. Sorry to say that your Seamore Papua Raja Ampat trip has come to an end and we look forward to welcoming you on board again. *Cruising itineraries and daily programs are subject to change due to weather / sea conditions and dive site / anchorage availability. Every effort will be made to complete the program as planned and the Cruise Director will update the guests at meal times
