After exploring the surprising spectacular Triton Bay and all its beautiful anchorages and underwater life, it was time to start chasing waterfalls. First stop was a 50nm sail away at Karawawi. It was quite a challenging hike through a swift running river, over slippery rocks and logs, and along rock ledges. We were ably helped by 18 villages who came along as guides.

Come Sail Raja Ampat with us
We are looking for some company to sail around Misool in Raja Ampat.


Anchoring there is deep and complicated so quite often we will need to run lines from the boat to shore. Whilst Dee and I have done this ourselves in places like Turkey, it is so much easier with a third.
But its ultra spectacular and every bit worth it. We expect to spend most of December there, up to just before Xmas when we will sail to Sorong where the airport is.
There’s a couple of options as to where you join us. You can make your way to Triton Bay by mid November to dive with the whales sharks, or later at Fak Fak to see some Birds of Paradise.
For Triton Bay, you would need to take a domestic flight to Kaimana (KNG). This often involves an overnight flight to cities like Sorong or Manokwari, followed by a short connecting flight to Kaimana.


For Fakfak, there is a short flight from Sorong. Sorong has flights from both Bali and Jakarta.

I know it’s a bit off the beaten track, but hey how often these days can you get off the path trodden by hordes of tourists.
