Travel Fun in Raja Ampat
Who said to Raja Ampat in West Papua to be expensive? The proof, by minimizing the cost of lodging and more, you do not need to spend tens of millions of rupiah. This is the story of saving a trip to Raja Ampat.
Raja Ampat is a desirable tourist destination to visit foreign tourists and local tourists. However, factors distant locations in the eastern part of Indonesia, as well as cost constraints in the value so expensive, to be one of the factors limiting the interest for traveling there.
Generally, the travel agents serve destinations around the Raja Ampat peg rates start from US $ 5.5 million (for a minimum of 20 people) to USD 14.5 million (for a minimum of 2 people), for a 4 day 3 night. Activities that will be used to do is look at the views of the rock, snorkeling, bird watching and visiting the tourist village, the cost is already included.
However, these costs beyond the cost of a ticket to get to Sorong and pin entry fee Raja Ampat region of Rp 250,000 per person. One factor the high cost of travel to Raja Ampat is a result of high fuel prices, which reached Rp 10,000 liters.
Raja Ampat region consists of four major islands, namely Waigeo, Missool, Batanta and Salawati, as well as more than 600 small islands. Therefore, high transport costs required to visit each island.
Additionally, some well-known resort in Raja Ampat is generally put up overnight rates high enough to pay the dolar. most tourists who come to stay are from Europe, so it is natural that they put high tariffs.
However, we also can save money for traveling in Raja Ampat by choosing lodging. That is, do not have to stay in resorts belonging to foreign nationals, but it helps you stay at home resident or a homestay. Tourist villages like Yenbuba, Sawinggrai, Arborek and others, have a homestay for the visitors.
At that time, I came with my wife for saving traveling for 4 days and 3 nights in Raja Ampat. When traveling to the Raja Ampat, we chose to stay directly on the island of Small Mansuar or better known by the name of Kri Island.
We stay at Koranu Fyak Home stay family-run Ruben Sauyai. Family Ruben provides 5 simple hut made of palm leaves and pandan with the size of the cottage 4m x 5m. In each cottage available wooden bed, thin mattress, and pillows as well as mosquito nets, each of which can accommodate two people.
Each cottage is about 5 meters apart from each other. While in front of the cottage, within 15 meters, lies a white sandy beach with sea view towards the island of Gam hilly greens.
Kri Island Waisai short distance from the town, the capital of Raja Ampat, about 30 minutes by speedboat. Kri Island also has easy access to the surrounding islands. Fun again, this island has no human settlement, making it very comfortable and quiet.
Along the north side of the island, there Kri Eco Resort and Sarido Beach Resort belongs to a Dutch citizen. Also there Yenkoranu Home stay, Koranu Fyak Home stay, as well as Mangkur Kudun Home Stay belonging to local residents.
Koranu Fyak wearing Homestay overnight rates Rp 250,000 per person per night, including three meals and coffee or tea is available for 24 hours.

Activities which we did for 4 days and 3 nights was walking along the sand beach, snorkeling at Manta Point, Arborek and Sawing Rai, see the sights of the island chain of coral in Gam Lagoon, see birds of paradise, an adventure in the jungle orchids, visit the Tourism Village Arborek, Yenbuba and Sawing Rai. As well, diving twice in Mansuar Pulau Besar.
As for the cost that we have to spend for accommodation around Rp 2,750,000. The fee includes room rental at Rp 750,000 (3 nights) and shuttle fee Rp 350,000 per person (PP).
Later, other costs charged related to activities performed on the next day. The first day arrived at the scene at 5 pm, the activities undertaken just to enjoy the beaches of the island of Kri all menyonsong Sunset.
While the second day of the tour (starting in the morning hours of 08:00 to 16:00 pm) includes snorkeling to Manta Point and the village pier and dock Arborek Sawing Rai, charged Rp. 300,000. To see the birds of paradise and explore the forest of orchids around Rp 150 thousand. While travel to villages and to Gam Lagoon also charged Rp 300,000.
Furthermore, on the third day (start early morning hours 8:00 to 17:00 pm) diving on the second point dive around Mansuar Pulau Besar. It costs around Rp 900 thousand for the second time diving and snorkeling.
We snorkel as much in front of the homestay Koranu Fyak Home Stay, as well as activities around Kri Island. And the fourth day, early in the morning we enjoyed the sunrise and midmorning taken home to Waisai.
When traveling activity does not include diving activities, then the costs will be cut to Rp 1,850,000. The good can be replaced with a snorkel diving as much in front of Kurano Fyak Home stay, because in that area we can see a variety of marine life, coral reefs and colorful fish.
You can also do activities trekking around the woods along the coast. You can see a variety of birds and wild orchids clinging on cliffs and trees. To note, that Kri island is deserted island, there is no settlement on the island, also no available stalls to sell daily necessities.
To be traveling comfortably, we recommend to bring additional supplies such as coffee or chocolate, bread or pastries for kicks, 2-3 bottles of mineral water (when empty can be filled from the kitchen home stay). Also, do not forget to bring a small flashlight for flame generator only from 18:00 to 22:00 CET, anti-mosquito lotion, toiletries, towels, hats, and sunglasses UV.
