Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , For sailing trips, the itinerary will be subject to change depending on weather conditions.

Not one sailing trip will be the same and time spent under sail will vary between each departure and may be limited due to weather conditions.

Day 1 - Sorong
Welcome to West Papua! Your adventure begins in the bustling port city of Sorong, the launch point to one of the most beautiful marine regions in the world. If you arrive early, maybe explore the city’s local markets and learn about the local fishing trade or visit a Buddhist temple with views of the town (Sapta Ratna Pagoda). Start with a welcome meeting at 6 pm where you’ll meet your trip leader and fellow travellers. Later this evening maybe find a place to eat dinner with your group – your leader will have the best local recommendations.
Day 2 - Sorong to Waisai
After boarding your sailboat in Sorong, you’ll cruise toward Waisai – a small town on Waigeo Island. If time allows, you’ll stop at Saonek Island where you can swim among the diverse sea creatures or maybe walk along the sandy shore and take in the views of islets scattered across the clear waters. Tonight, settle in, unpack and enjoy your first night onboard your traditional Phinisi-style boat as your onboard chef prepares an Indonesian feast for dinner.
Day 3 - Mioskon Island to Yenbuba Village
This morning you have the option to join a birdwatching tour and spot the rare birds of paradise. From there, you’ll head to Mioskon Island near the Dampier Strait. Known for its scenery and calm surrounding waters, Mioskon Island is the perfect place for snorkelling, with an abundance of marine life like reef sharks and turtles. In the afternoon, visit Yenbuba Village, where coral reefs lie just off the jetty. Just steps from the shore, you can spot colorful coral and schools of fish. Take some time to explore the village, learn about the local culture and enjoy a short walk around town.
Day 4 - Fam Islands to Piaynemo island
Spend the day exploring the Fam Island Group, known for its calm lagoons and rich marline biodiversity. Here you can snorkel, kayak or simply relax in the clear waters. Later today, hike up to Pianemo Viewpoint – one of Raja Ampat’s most iconic sights. Have your camera ready as you enjoy the panoramic views of limestone islets scattered across the sea.
Day 5 - Yanggefo island to Arborek Village
Start your day snorkeling at Yangefo – a hidden gem known for its dense mangrove forests, coral gardens and clear waters. It’s an ideal spot for both snorkeling and paddleboarding, with a good chance of spotting sea turtles, schools of fish and even stingrays. In the afternoon, visit Arborek Village, a small island community celebrated for its warm hospitality and traditional culture. The reef just beneath the jetty is full of marine life, including giant clams, sea fans and colourful reef fish. Take time to stroll through the village or shop for handmade crafts.
Day 6 - Sauwandarek Beach
Today you’ll explore the Sawandarek – a beach village with lush reefs, calm waters and white sandy shorelines. Learn about the villages’ conservation-focused community that is actively involved in marine protection efforts. Here you have the opportunity to snorkel, connect with locals or simply unwind surrounded by nature.
Day 7 - Blue River (kali Biru) to Sorong
Before cruising back to Sorong, you’ll make a stop at the Blue River (Kali Biru). Located within the dense rainforest of Waigeo Island, this sapphire-blue freshwater stream is a great spot for a refreshing dip or short jungle walk.
