![]() ![]() Our snorkeling tour takes us along the west coast of Bird’s Head Peninsula where we will have the chance to snorkel the best reefs and habitats in Raja Ampat and Triton Bay. Lush tropical forests and quiet coves with perfect white sand beaches can be found throughout the rugged coastline and jungle-clad islands. This way-off-the-beaten-path destination is a throwback to the way people around New Guinea existed 50 years ago. Triton Bay is located off the southwestern tip of West Papua (Indonesia) and is part of the Bird’s Head Seascape, a protected region that comprises the coastal waters around the entire west coast of the island of New Guinea. Nearly three quarters of all known species of hard corals and half of the species of tropical marine fishes can be found in Raja Ampat. The 1500 scenic karst limestone and volcanic islands that reside just offshore from the tip of West Papua are surrounded by warm tropical seas that possess some of the highest levels of marine biodiversity on the planet. Raja Ampat needs little introduction these days. But every now and then, the universe aligns and offers a rare, if not once-in-a-lifetime chance to visit the world’s best snorkeling destinations and witness a total solar eclipse! X To the avid snorkeler and marine enthusiast, visiting these areas needs no other real incentive. Raja Ampat and Triton Bay possess some of the most diverse and healthiest reefs in the world.
