Indonesia Dive Packages
Located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea , Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, a fast archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays and shoals surrounding the four main islands Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo. It is a part of the recently renamed Papua province of Indonesia, formerly known as Irian Jaya.
Raja Ampat's pristine beauty, both above the water and below the water, is truly unrivalled. Its remote location and lack of infrastructure have inhibited the growth of tourism. This area's staggering abundance of marine life is due in part to its incredibly low human population density.
Beneath the dense jungle canopy, the islands are primarily karst limestone, which are dry, inhospitable, and overwhelmingly vertical. The few resident Papuans are mainly a subsistence society, exploiting a variety of resources to meet their basic needs. Fishing is only one of these resources, and they continue to employ traditional, low-impact fishing techniques, using a hook and line from dug-out canoes.
Kri Eco Resort is one of 2 Dutch owned and managed resorts located on the island of Kri in the northern part of the Raja Ampat Archipelago. Opened in 1994, this is the back to nature option for people who enjoy simple living in a stunning environment... and amazing diving.
Packages are offered on a Sunday to Sunday basis with a complimentary boat transfer from the nearest connected city of Sorong 75 km away. Guests wishing to arrive or depart on any other day will need to charter a private boat transfer at a cost of EUR350 per boat... so best to try to stick to the weekly schedule!
