- Welcome to another episode of Indowild in the most Biodiverse place on the planet. The amazing raja Ampat archipelago.
In this video I move from homestay to homestay and do island hopping from Kri, gam, fam, penyemo, arborek, waigeo, waisai, kri, mansuar and bantanta.
Snorkelling and scuba diving in some of the most famous sites in the dampier straight such as blue magic, mikes reef, chicken reef, manta sandy, bat island, cape kri, sardine reef, arborek wall, the jetty.
A few trips to different islands such as Penyemo and diving at Melissa garden,secret lagoons in Gam bay where the homestay owner know a spot for mandarin fish and picturesque dragonets along with many nudibranch.
I then head to batanta looking for secret water falls and walks through the mangroves looking for the raja ampat walking shark.
And finally got to see some thing really special! A dugong, which is like a big underwater cow.
Raja Ampat is a fantastic place with so much to do and see. This trip only scratches the surface.

No doubt. Indonesia is magical country. Every seen your you tube chanel each region in Indonesia that a amazing view. The volcano mountain, waterfalls, beach, ancient history/culture, the crowded road, the people, the nature...i realy enjoyed see your video.👍
Thank you so much for this comment. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thx for explore my country, Indonesia. Nice to meet you, from Harlie. I'm also Campervan & diving explore Indonesia
Still on my bucket list but hopefully 2024/2025. Need to save until then 😇 amazing video as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing ❤❤😊😊😊..I love Papua
Thank you! 😃
Great shots of the underwater sea creatures👏👏👏. Amazing marine wildlife footage👍👍👍. Cool drone shots of the Raja Ampat island.
Many thanks
such a wonderful trip...
Thanks.. I am currently in Sulawesi. More videos coming soon
Your macro footage is unbelievable! SUPERB! Loved this whole video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Video-nya keren2..
Amazing
It's beautiful. Which one do you prefer, north Sulawesi under water or in Papua?
I would have to say Papua, the diversity is second to none in papua. And much less dynamite fished (smashed bombed out coral) - honestly in North Sulawesi there is a LOT of broken reefs thanks to a few people who don’t care about the oceans.
@@IndoWild terima kasih for your opinion. It's sad to see that in my country, some people just don't really care about environment. How beautiful they are, but they make damage of their environment. I think we really have serious problems towards our environment. We need a huge change to our mindset how to treat environment and animals.
Amazing didn't know there is Duogong in Raja ampat. Can you please tell who the white animal ( in bungalow) is? never seen such an animal.
I think you are referring to the Cuscus - it’s like a marsupial bear. Only found east of the Wallace line
Amazing video. May I know where you encountered the dugong?
This was in Batanta
beautiful!
Thank you 🙏🏼 Raja Ampat is really one of the most stunning places in this planet
Wow Sam, truly amazing! Which camera setup for underwater??? Thanks, Morten
I used a Sony Rx100 mark 4 for most of this footage
Great! How long did you stay?
I was there around 3 months in total.
Amazing footage and trip. Do you have a blog or info on all your home stays? Would like to understand a bit more about your logistics. Currently plan a trip for Sept/Oct.
Did you just book local boat each time to get from island to island or did you have one guy/group take you from place to place?
No blog yet. Coming soon. However you can follow me on IG where I am more active @sam_indowild
Great shots!
How deep u dive there?
30-40 is the max at blue magic or cape Kri. Raja isn’t really very deep. Particularly where the action is
This video is amazing! May I ask what camera gear you use?
Hi .. I have a Sony RX100 VII, GoPro hero 7 and a DJI drone
You can see my instagram for latest adventure. Takes me a while to edit a RUclips video instagram.com/sam_indowild
@@IndoWild Thanks for the info and for sharing your incredible videos!!
Nice movie
Thank you
Thank you
Great video sir, would you mind to share about your itenerary and budget for this raja ampat trip?
I went from Waisai, kri, Mansuar, Gam, Fam, batanta then back to Waisai. Budget was around Rp1,000,000 IDR per day. Some days diving some days not.
where exactly did u spot the dugong ? in what island
Batanta. Can’t remember what place or beach exactly but was somewhere between the main village and Papua paradise dive resort
would you mind sharing names of honestays that you chose
great trip btw!
The main place I used as a base was yenkorano. Then went to one on arborek. Nudi branc home stay. Dugong homestay and another I forget the name now
What time of the year did you go?
From November until January
Hi Great videos expecially the seacow... Can you please give a detailed explaination of how you booked your stay and duration, cost?
Hi Susan. I used stay raja Ampat website and Facebook group to find all the homestay and also a bit of following others I met along the way which is important to share the cost of the transfer between each homestay. You’ll likely arrive at the ferry port in waisai and from there you’ll get picked up to go to your first homestay. I first stayed at Kri island but Gam, mansuar and wigeo (wasai) all have excellent homestay and it’s close so not too expensive. You could also just arrive at the ferry port and tag along with another boat. There are always boats coming and going. I hopped on one transporting vegetables and other goods and they were happy to take some money to make their trip cheaper for them. After you have stayed around that area you could go further to batanta, arborek or fam islands. Good luck and enjoy. Part of the adventure is just not booking things too detailed and going with the flow a little bit once you arrive. There are plenty of options. Check the website I sent
@@IndoWild thanks a million, may I please also know the price of dives and how much did ur raja ampat trip after reaching waisai cost?
I can’t remember exactly now. But 1,000,000 per day should be budgeted for transport and accommodation and other trips. For dives expect to pay anywhere from 400-600 per dive. I spent a lot more coz me and a group chartered the boat to go to some far away places such as the passage. You can’t dive that place now due to a croc living there. But you get the idea. Raja Ampat is not cheap. But there is really no need to dive everyday. Try to
Dive only the famous sites, cape Kri, blue magic, sawandarek etc etc. most of the snorkelling is incredible frankly.
@@IndoWild Sorry for the trouble!!.............Just to be on the same page thats in IDR so that comes around 660 US$ per day right? TIA
No. Much less. 1,000,000 IDR is around 60 USD
Saya harap Bapak Presiden Jokowi membangun 7 Jembatan Raja Ampat Papua Sambung-menyambung menghubungkan Sorong Daratan Papua Barat Daya dg Pulau Salawati>Pulau Batanta>Pulau Mansuar>Pulau Gam>Pulau Waigeo Meos Mensar>Pulau Waigeo Waigeo Selatan>Pulau Waigeo Waisai>Waigeo Selatan, Design Jembatan meniru 🇨🇳 Danyang Kunshan Grand Bridge. Kota Waisai di tata sbg Metropolitan di bangun Mall, Hotel & Perumahan, kemudian Waigeo Kec. Tiplol Mayalibit jadikan sbg pusat Sepakbola Bangun Stadion Megah utk Homebase Perairam Raja Ampat bangun juga Stadion Latihan & Fasilitas Fitnes meniru Bayern Munchen. Dengan demikian Kab. Raja Ampat akan lebih spektakuler dg Wisata Pantai, Snorkeling, Metropolitan, Hutan Wisata & Wisata Sepakbola
I really really hope that never ever happens.. if it ever does then the marine life which makes raja Ampat so incredible will be gone forever..
Merusak itu semua. Ini kawasan konservasi
