From the port of Sorong we will need to catch a boat transfer to the amazing islands of Raja Ampat where we will arrive at our luxury dive resort. We will then have the following options with respect to diving:

The basic package above includes 14 dives at Raja Ampat.

The above basic package includes any equipment rental, accommodation and breakfast every morning. The cost of the above package will be in the region of £1,550.00. The trip is totally flexible and you may want to add additional days at Raja Ampat rather than returning to Jakarta for some sightseeing. If so you will have the additional options:

All the below are based on 2 people sharing but many of the group are likely to extend the package so paring people up should not be a problem.

Additional non diving day – £100.00 per diver.
Additional 2 dive day – £200.00 per diver
Additional 4 dive day – £300.00 per diver.

You also have the option of upgrading a 2 dive day to a 4 dive day for an additional £100.00 per diver.

Depending on whether you extend the dive package will depend on how many days you have after to spend in Jakarta before flying home to London. If you join up with the basic package you will then have the option of spending 3 days in Jakarta to include sightseeing (the City and the Thousand Islands).

Accommodation in Jakarta and 1 night in Sorong after the dive package will be in the region of £100.00 each.

As a result the overall package cost is likely to be in the region of £1,650.00 without flights.

Flights
The flights are not available for Nov 2022 yet but it is likely that we will have British Airway options at good prices and the prices are likely to be in the region of £490.00 for London to Jakarta (Return) and £250.00 Jakarta to Sorong (Return).

Considering the fact that Raja Ampat is a bucket list trip and is a very expensive destination we have been able to keep prices reasonable. It is more expensive than normal trips but Raja Ampat is one of the best dive locations in the world and it is normal for dive packages in this region to be in excess of £4,000.00.
