Raja Ampat Aggressor Itinerary

Raja Ampat - Halmahera - Lembeh (Sorong - Bitung)

Day 1: Sorong

After picking you up at the airport, a refreshing welcome drink will be waiting for you on board. Time to get to know each other and prepare everything to start the adventure. Cruise towards Dampier Strait.

Days 2-3: Dampier Strait & Fam Islands

During these days, we will be in the Dampier Strait and Fam Islands, which are located between Waigeo and the Bird’s Head Peninsula. Along with Misool, the most famous area for diving in Raja Ampat. All of the dive sites around the Dampier Strait and Fam Islands are known for a huge amount of schooling fish and Coral Gardens where you get to see reef sharks and wobbegong sharks between others. Some of the best manta dives are also located in the Dampier Strait. And of course, we cannot forget the dive sites at some of the jetties in front of local villages, where the pillars are covered in soft corals and are home to small critters. Cruise overnight to Misool.

Days 4-6: Misool

Misool is the southernmost island in Raja Ampat and it is surrounded by several hundred small islands and rocks. Some of the most beautiful soft coral reefs in the world are located here. Many of the dive sites around Misool are just as fishy as the ones in the Dampier Strait, with some schools of barracudas, batfish, snappers, and fusiliers. Misool is also a great macro destination. Known as the kingdom of the pygmy seahorse. Cruise overnight to Pulau Pisang.

Day 7: Pulau Pisang

These two islands and two small rocks between Misool and Halmahera are the perfect spots to spend the day diving in sloping reefs full of soft and hard coral bommies. When the currents are running, the dive sites can be very fishy and it is possible to see dogtooth tuna passing by. Cruise overnight to the Strait of Patintie.

Days 8-9: Strait of Patinti

We will spend the next two days in the south of Halmahera. Here, two large pinnacles break the surface and are excellent dive sites due to the amount of schooling fish as well as the healthy state of the soft corals. Strong currents here will dictate when you will dive. We will cruise overnight to the Goraici Islands.

Day 10: Goraici Islands

The Goraici Islands have beautiful white sandy beaches with small villages, amazing reefs, and pinnacles. Colourful soft coral in the deeper parts and hard coral gardens in the shallows. Overnight Cruise to Tifore Island.

Day 11: Tidore Island

Pulau Tidore is a small island between Halmahera and Lembeh with a submerged reef, where the main attraction is definitely the schooling barracudas. Cruise overnight to Lembeh.

Day 12: Lembeh Strait

Time for some 5-star muck diving in Lembeh Strait renowned to be one of the favourite places for this particular kind of diving where finding hidden critters around the sandy bottoms will become the ultimate goal of this gorgeous and complete adventure.

Day 13: Bitung

Unfortunately is the last day of this incredible adventure and it is time to disembark after a good breakfast and a lot of hugs.
