1919 “After 17 years with Coral Expeditions, I can honestly say this was one of the best trips I have ever done. The Spice Islands and Raja Ampat is a region of bucket list experiences, and this expedition did not disappoint. Exploring through Raja Ampat with my family was very special and created lasting family memories. Of course, swimming with the whale sharks at Cenderawasih Bay, climbing the limestone tracks of Wayag and dining with the King of Sapurua on Christmas Day were highlights, but, in actual fact, the entire voyage with its cultural interactions, wildlife diversity, geological formations and aquatic adventures exceeded all expectations.” MARK FIFIELD, GENERAL MANAGER RAJA AMPAT & SPICE ISLANDS > 2020
