Our first adventure will start before sunrise. We will go to Sawinggrai Village at Gam island for bird of paradise watching. We must be at the location on 6-7 in the morning, when the bird of paradise come out to dance. Please note, as this is wild-habitat for bird of paradise, they’re will be on the top of tree, sometimes easy to watch them but sometimes also difficult too.

My Reef has excellent fish life and is the perfect way to start your first full day of the expedition.

We will go to the Pianemo island, bring your camera and your walking shoes, the route is easy because we are walking along the stairs to the top of Pianemo. We will enjoy one of very special breathtaking view in Raja Ampat, a cluster of small coral islands surrounded by a “lovely” blue-sea and several green vegetation.
