Day 2: Mion Kon Island
The locals often call this one the Bat Island. As the name suggests, tons of bats live in that island. For those who want to see the bats, there are some caves to explore. Some of them also live in the tree. They sleep at noon and go for hunting at night. Apart from bats, many birds are also seen there. Witnessing those creatures is indeed a prime activity to do in the island. Despite the secluded location, the island holds tons of beauty, especially the nautical views. The serene beach is mesmerizing and the sand has soft texture and stunning color. When it comes to the sea, it is clear and calm. The color is beautiful and it becomes the home of lots of fish species. Some majestic corals are also scattered underwater.
Day 3: Paiynemo Island
Piaynemo is a small cluster of islands that are the absolute epitome of paradise. The views are spectacular and you’ll be astounded with the clarity of the water, the stunningly lush islands dotted around, and the marine and bird life that live here. It contains some of the most beautiful coral reefs in Raja Ampat, these remote reefs are bursting with colour and life. This is also a good opportunity to trek to one of the most famous lookouts in the region. The island offers a mesmerizing view of hills cluster from the top. From the viewpoint, you’ll see small islands rising up out of crystal-clear water. Snorkelling in this area offers a fantastic coral and a huge amount of fish underneath the stunning turquoise coloured waters.
Day 4: Arborek
On day three, we will cruise to Arborek where you can snorkel at the jetty which is famous for the huge schools of fish that shelter beneath it, and also for the colourful soft corals that cover its piles. There’s good snorkelling from almost anywhere on the island, but the reefs around the island’s eastern end are particularly rich. After snorkelling, we will have a vilage tour around the Arborek village where there are only around 40 families (198 people). The community of the villagers are well-known for the traditional handicraft industry of hats and ‘Noken’ string bags.
