Ecotourism focuses on socially responsible travel, personal growth, and environmental sustainability.

Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions.

The name of Raja Ampat comes from local mythology that tells of a woman who finds seven eggs.

Four of the seven hatch and become kings who occupy four of Raja Ampat biggest islands whilst the other three become a ghost, a woman, and a stone.

The Coral Triangle is the heart of the World‘s coral reef biodiversity, making Raja Ampat quite possibly the richest coral reef ecosystems in the World.
