How to Reach Raja Ampat
Your journey begins by flying into Domine Eduard Osok Airport (SOQ) in West Papua. From there, a sea transfer to Waisai is necessary, as many charters launch from Sorong. This route places you at the starting point to Raja Ampat’s pristine waters and diverse marine life.
The Importance of the Raja Ampat Marine Park Entry Permit

The Optimal Sailing Season
The best time to set out on your sailing adventure is between October and April. During this period, conditions are ideal for exploring the lively marine life, including manta rays from December to March and Cendrawasih whale sharks throughout the year.
