Welcome to your magical escape in Gam Island

WHERE IS RAJA AMPAT

The Raja Ampat Regency and islands (meaning ampat=four raja=kings in Bahasa Indonesia), is situated off the northwest tip of West Papua Province (Indonesia), with Sorong airport as the entry point. It is an archipelago compromising over 1500 small islands surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo (which are the four king-islands).

It is central to a vast area of the equatorial Pacific Ocean known as the Coral Triangle (an area that also contains parts of Malaysia, The Philippines, eastern Indonesia, Kalimantan/Borneo, and the territory east of the Solomon Islands). It holds the title for hosting the world’s greatest coral reef biodiversity. And is a major epicentre for marine biodiversity with over 550 different species of corals, 700 types of mollusks and 1427 species of fish. The seas around the Raja Ampat Islands are home to some of the richest variety of species in the world, including 75 percent of all known coral species.

“The Raja Ampat islands retains its number one ranking in terms of underwater biodiversity as the oceanic natural resources are significant. According to Conservation International, marine surveys suggest that the marine life diversity in the Raja Ampat area is the highest recorded on Earth and the diversity is the greatest within the Coral Triangle.”

It has the best islands of Indonesia and the best beaches of Indonesia, making it the perfect holiday destination to visit in Indonesia.
