Dive bases and accommodations in Raja Ampat and Komodo
After Raja Ampat, you fly over Jakarta, Bali, Manado or Makassar to Sorong. That is where the safari boats depart, and the resorts pick you up by boat. On Kri Island, Cape Kri is located directly in front of the Papua Diving resorts, while at Manta Sandy, mantas visit their cleaning station. For the marine park, you buy a pass from the park authorities, which is valid for one year. Komodo National Park, located between Sumbawa and Flores, was established in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragons. From Labuan Bajo, day boats travel to sites such as Batu Bolong, while you can reach Manta Alley in the south by safari boat. On Rinca and Komodo, rangers take you to see the dragons.
This booklet helps you choose a dive base and accommodation together. It compares the dive bases and the accommodation near them, showing which base and house reef belong to which accommodation and how far the walk to the boat is. For each accommodation, it indicates whether there is space to rinse and dry your equipment and whether an early breakfast is available. For non-diving days, the booklet lists restaurants and excursions, with a map link for each location.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print as a booklet at home.
