Raja Ampat, in the far eastern corner of Indonesia is a group of more than 1300 islands that are virtually undiscovered and under-populated, thankfully free of political turmoil and major natural disasters.
It is here that one finds the world’s richest reefs; an underwater spectacle that is beyond comprehension. Conservation International led expeditions to the area during 2006 where they discovered 52 new species of fish and reef-building coral as well as two new species of sharks!
The region is being hailed the 'epicenter of biodiversity' - the richest reefs on our planet.
13 and 20 day expedition to Raja Ampat departs 29th MAY 2008– book now to avoid disappointment!
