Raja Ampat Cruises
Wayag Raja Ampat

Wayag,
far north.

The most dramatic skyline in Raja Ampat: limestone peaks, glassy lagoons, white sand pockets, and a lookout that feels like the edge of the map.

— Why Wayag

The iconic
northern view.

Wayag is remote even by Raja Ampat standards, usually visited by private cruise or liveaboard. The reward is a maze of karst islands and a short but steep hike to one of Indonesia's most unforgettable viewpoints.
