Hello, I went on a liveaboard however I plan to stay in Misool Island resort with my wife who is a non diver next time round. Have a look at their web page and you tube advertisement. Have a great time! Regards, Tim

Certo,io ero biodiversity eco resort ed ho fatto l'escursione a pianemo...dista circa 1/1.30 dipendete dalle condizioni del tempo e del mare. Non consiglio di soggiornare nelle guesthouse a pianemo perchè ..anche se sul posto.....sono terribili

It could take a day alone just to fly from Bali to Sorong, Raja Ampat. Then from Sorong, you'll need to take a ferry (2 hours if I remember correctly) to take you to Waisai. Keep in mind, there is no inter-islands public transports available at this point (Waisai). The best way is to make sure that you already arranged your homestay, the owner will pick you up to your homestay (the location of homestay are vary since there are a lot of small islands in Raja Ampat). If you arrive earlier (before noon-afternoon), you can do snorkeling if you pick a homestay that has a good spot for snorkeling. Then, in the morning (or depending on the wave) they can take you to this island. Of course, you can also do snorkeling at other spots outside your homestay. My snorkeling spot were Arborek Village. I stayed at a homestay in Sawinggrai Village. I saw a turtle once, but he disappeared really quick (shy animal). I never saw stingrays when I snorkeled there. Small fishes were the most common. There is nothing you can do at night, but I would recommend to chat with the locals, or watch the wives/girls cooking in their kitchen, or playing with the kiddos.

Hi....im sorry for slow respond. Yes, i would suggest do your trip on morning and come back to homestay at afternoon and laying down for sunset. Its better in morning since we cant predict about the wave. I stay at lil cosy homestay and include with trip about $600. Thank you
