The main airport used to get to Raja Ampat is "Sorong" on the western tip of Papua, this area is extremely safe, is very well built up and set up for tourism. The best way to get to Sorong is:
- Jakarta to Sorong to Raja Ampat
You can fly from Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia to Sorong. As all internal flight to Sorong leave early morning we recommend you look for flights that arrive in Jakarta around late evening (7pm) the day before your expedition start date. This way you will spend less time in transit at Jakarta airport. Operators that fly to Sorong from Jakarta are: AirAsia, Lion Air, Batik Air, Sriwijaya and Garuda Air. (all have stopovers in either Makassar, Ambon or Manado, accept AirAsia and Batik Air which are the only airlines to currently fly direct). We recommend using flight search websites, and highly recommend arriving the day before your expedition start date if possible.
The meeting point on your expedition start date is the Fave hotel at 8am, which is 5 minutes from the airport. Here you can relax in the hotel lobby to be picked up at 8am, and taken to the 9am ferry to Waisai the capital of Raja Ampat. A Barefoot representative will collect you from the Fave Hotel at 08:00 to take you to the ferry port, where your catch the ferry (approx 2 hours) to Waisai. Our boat will meet you on arrival in Waisai and take you on the final 90 minute boat ride to your home for the duration of your expedition.
NOTE: If you are already travelling in Indonesia before your expedition or travelling in Singapore please contact us for alternative ways to get to Sorong if you do not wish to fly from Jakarta.
