Those who experience this sight with its dramatic landscapes, secret lagoons, bays and beaches for the first time feel like an enthusiastic, overwhelmed explorer. Travelling in Raja Ampat gives you the opportunity to explore new territory and marvel at the world's most biodiverse areas. In short, every day of your journey is like an award-winning National Geographic report, only right before your eyes and within your reach.<\/p>\n<p>Raja Ampat's world-class wildlife excursions take place both on the ground and underwater. It was here that the famous 19th century naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace came across species of Bird of Paradise that only exist in this region of the world. Witnessing the breathtaking beauty of the Wilson's bird of paradise and the red bird of paradise and their mesmerising behaviour in the wild is arguably one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences of a lifetime. These winged wonders live here alongside 350 other bird species, including forest kingfishers and king parrots. Animal life also pulsates on the beach. Raja Ampat's many beaches are often nesting grounds for turtle species, including the Pacific leatherback, the largest of all living turtle species on earth, while the world's largest network of mangrove forests harbours populations of dugong and juvenile fish. Raja Ampat is also a Marine Protected Area (MPA) designated by the Indonesian government.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 8-day and 13-day cruise expeditions to the Raja Ampat area are visual spectacles of unrivalled marine diversity, taking you to some of the best diving and snorkelling sites on earth.
