Route Description - Crossing Sorong – Ambon
Raja Ampat to Ambon Crossing
12 Days 11 Nights
Raja Ampat is a stunning archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands. These host thousands of species some of which are endemic to the region. With their sublime scenery of steep, jungle-covered islands, fine white-sand beaches, hidden lagoons, spooky caves, weird mushroom-shaped islets and pellucid turquoise waters, Raja Ampat is without question one of the most beautiful island chains in the world.
Ambon diving varies from island to island, and you will be able to see some great muck diving sites with droppings, great wall dives, some places that attract big pelagics, such as hammerhead sharks, and beautiful coral gardens. The diving sites have excellent conditions, great visibility, and mild to strong ocean currents. Not only that it offers an unforgettable diving experience, Banda Sea also has a rich and interesting history from their successful spice trades.
