If i were a tour guide

If I were a tour guide, I would take you to the stunning Raja Ampat Islands, it has only really been discovered by tourism in the last decade or so. These days however, they are probably the country's most-wanted diving and cruising destination, the stunning scenery Probably the most publicized image of Raja Ampat is that of the lagoon in Wayag, a spectacular group of rock islands in the extreme northwest of the region.

 Around Southeast Misool, at the archipelago's opposite end, the scenery is if anything, even more spectacular. breathtaking scenery can still be found there, too. Such as Kabui Bay and the Mayalibit Bay of Waigeo, the "hidden bays" of Gam and Penemu offer similar rock formations, with each one having its own, unique charm.

These are some activities we have in raja ampat, such as:

1.      Diving & Snorkeling, This is what most people come to Raja Ampat for! Several surveys by marine biologists have found that these islands, sitting right at the heart of the "Coral Triangle", have the very highest marine biodiversity in the World, with a profusion of coral and fish unmatched anywhere else. There are now about half a dozen dive resorts scattered in the islands, and most cruises also offer diving. Snorkelers, who should bring their own gear, have it even better, as they can explore reefs pretty much anywhere, unlimited by the existance of facilities.

2.      The mostly still pristine rainforests of Raja Ampat teem with exotic birdlife. The most visible species are various noisy cockatoos and colorful parrots, many of which are widespread in the rest of Papua and Maluku as well These include 2 beautiful species of birds of paradise, Wilson's and Red, a set of newly discovered species on Kofiau.

Most people you will meet in the islands' villages are Biakese, descended from early migrants from the island of Biak in the Cendrawasih Bay off northern Papua. They now outnumber the various smaller ethnic groups native to these islands, who live scattered mostly on the larger islands of Waigeo, Misool, Batanta, Salawati and Kofiau. Traditionally, these islands have also had close links with Maluku, and mixing with people from there is very obvious in the features of the coastal people of Misool and Kofiau in particular.
