SNORKELING IN RAJA AMPAT

The Raja Ampat islands may be considered one of the best diving places left in the world, but it is also one the best snorkelling destinations in Indonesia and possibly has the best snorkelling in the world!

Surrounded by the clear waters of the Dampier Strait, with access to the most active reefs, we can curate for you unforgettable snorkelling experiences! Corals love the sunlight, and most of the action is at the shallow water! Both Coral reefs and marine life sit 15m and shallower, making this true gold for snorkelers.

At Raja Ampat Biodiversity Nature Resort we have a spectacular house reef a foot step from your cottage.

The coral garden in the resort is full of richness and has an abundance of biodiversity, a common sight is the Epaulette Shark, which is endemic to the area, Hawksbill Turtles, Black Tip Sharks, and quite occasionally leaping dolphins!
