Wayang Island is one of the islands within the Raja Ampat
district in the province of West Papua. The island is known for its beautiful
atolls and amazing underwater life covering a total area of 155,000 hectares
(about 383,013.3 acres).
Here, you find pristine beaches with unique Karst islands
that look like mushrooms sprouting out from the sea. Along these beaches,
tourists can see fairy tale panorama, more captivating than Leonardo DiCaprio’s
getaway in “The Beach”. The crystal clear waters around Wayag Island appear
like unreal windows to various types of flora and fauna that live underwater.
Wayag Island never ceases to amaze. Divers, especially, have
been overwhelmed not only by the rich underwater displays, but also by the
panoramic beauty of the island as they climb up to its highest platform and
observe coves and atolls around. It is a dream come true, truly a dream
fulfilled.
The island is 10 km north of the equator. Liveaboards are
the best choice for travelers with a love for adventure and romance. Social
contacts with other travelers will only be a call away. Dive briefings are
enriching, so that just being there with other divers and the exotic looking
staff, you will feel as if you are already drawn into the depths of Wayag’s
surreal beauty.
