Reserve Dates View Day-by-Day

For travelers whose calendar is meticulously curated, a 3-day Raja Ampat liveaboard offers a potent distillation of the archipelago. Three days of premium dive sites, breathtaking viewpoints, and moments of profound tranquility — centered around the Dampier Strait where over 75% of the world's hard coral species thrive.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Each day is meticulously orchestrated — embark from Sorong (SOQ), unwind on board, dive twice daily, and finish with a culinary moment under the stars.

Day 1

Embarkation & Northern Wonders

Arrive Sorong (SOQ) — direct transfer to your private phinisi. Welcome briefing, cabin orientation, and the first dive at Friwen Wall or Mioskon Island. Visibility frequently exceeds 25m. Watch for wobbegong sharks and pygmy seahorses on the gorgonian fans.
