Translated, Four Kings, Raja Ampat is located to the northwest of New Guinea and comprises over 1,500 small islands dotted over approximately 40,000 square kilometers. A vast majority of the area is still unexplored by man. The scientific community considers Raja Ampat possibly the most bio-diverse and healthiest coral reef ecosystems in the world. Get your cameras ready - simply put, Raja Ampat is a paradise for divers and underwater filmmakers and photographers.
Located in the Coral Triangle, the heart of the world’s coral reef biodiversity, the seas around the Raja Ampat islands hold what may be the richest variety of species in the world. Because of its unique proximity between the Indian and Pacific oceans, the Raja Ampat area enjoys the best of both those ecological systems.
Raja Ampat is now a popular eco-friendly marine tourism destination which is playing a role in its sustainability. The area features 1500 species of reef fish, 600 species of coral (75% of all known in the world), 57 species of mantis shrimp, 5 species of endangered sea turtles and, most impressive of all, scientists are still making discoveries of new species in and around the Raja Ampat area. A trip to the Four Kings makes for a truly unforgettable adventure.
