Indonesia | Raja Ampat - The Last Paradise

Available for hire
🏝️There is a Last Paradise on earth, or at least that's what Raja Ampat in Indonesia is nicknamed. From experience I can tell that this archipelago is truly a paradise. White sand beaches lined with palm trees, sipping coconuts on your overwater bungalow where you fall asleep to the soothing sound of the waves, an exceptional jungle wildlife that includes the bird of paradise and the spotted cuscus and a view that's so iconic it made it on the nation's 100.000 Rupiah bill.
🐠Raja Ampat is part of the Coral Triangle and awaits you with the highest marine biodiversity in the world, where about 75 % of the world's species live, making this stunning underwater world every snorkeler's and diver's dream.
Don't miss out on an escape to paradise before it's too late!
As Raja Ampat is such a remote place, there are quite a few things you need to organize in advance and be aware of.
I spent lots of hours doing research, finding the best spots, gathering contacts and bringing together all the necessary information to have a great time in Raja Ampat and to be prepared perfectly. I had an amazing time!
Safe yourself all this hassle and get my detailed and complete guide here to set you up for an unforgettable experience in the Last Paradise. Are you ready to go?
📖My comprehensive guide includes everything you need to know from important information on how to prepare, how to get there, accommodation recommendations with contacts to money saving tips, a cost overview of how much I excatly spent in 3,5 weeks and much more.
📸I also included my own pictures for you to get a better understanding of the place.
📍And if you like, you can even use this guide as an exact travel route, deciding individually how many days you want to spend on each island.

Hi everyone 👋🏻
I'm Sarah from Germany and my biggest passion is everything related to travel. I not only LOVE to organize my own travels but also help others make travelling and especially planning easier. Below you can find some facts about me to get to know me a little better 😊
🌏 I'm backpacking solo around the world since 2017, exploring new places and cultures. I love to travel off the beaten path as I think this is the best way to experience local life and discover places away from mass tourism.
🗻 I've lived in New Zealand for 2,5 years, exploring this beautiful country in my van and I've also lived in Australia and Uruguay for one year each.
🥥 I always try to spend as much time as possible in one country to be able to explore it thoroughly. The first thing I usually do is wandering the streets to get a feel for the place, visiting local markets and also trying all the food.
🏞️🏝️ I love the outdoors, hiking, chasing waterfalls, driving around with the scooter, scuba diving and snorkeling.
