Holiday to Raja Ampat It's expensive, but you Will Not Regret

JALANJALAN YUUK

Marching quickly thousands of

people in the Soekarno-Hatta 

International Airport to accompany 

the motion of the moon is right in 

the crown.

From the display device, time show 

at 24.00 pm.Drowsiness fighting for 

a place with adrenaline mounting 

ahead of my departure to Raja Ampat,West Papua. 

Yes, Raja Ampat, maritime areas that many people dream to visit.I was

lucky because my job duties to the county to deliver a thousand islands

last week.

Around 01:00 pm, I rushed to the 

aircraft. Itineraries I want to take

the Jakarta-Manado and 

Manado-Raja Ampat.From 

Soekarno-Hatta, 

I use the carrier Batik Air flight to Manado, North Sulawesi. 

The journey to Manado takes about three hours. After a short break in

Sam Ratulangi Airport in Manado, proceed with using the airline

Wings Air.

These Manado flight-Raja Ampat 

was opened in early 2017 to cut 

the travel time for travelers. 

Manado-Raja Ampat be reached 

witha journey time of about 

2 hours.

If you view the travel cost air lines,

the Jakarta-Manado suck Batik Air pocket around Rp 1.3 million.

While Manado-Raja Ampat priced around USD 800,000. Price is of course 

can change at any given time.

Feeling tired during the trip paid off when the Wings Air plane was about

to land at the airport Marinda, Raja Ampat. The cluster of small islands 

paved the eyes of the shadow of sleepiness.

Shades of blue and green which indicates the difference depths of

the ocean to be a sign the territorial waters of Raja Ampat still 'virgin' 

and away from excessive exploration.

Marinda of service, I was picked up by Udin, 30 years old man who works

as a driver for a car rental. Lack of public transportation in Raja Ampat 

is indeed open up business opportunities for entrepreneurs rental vehicle.

Udin greeted with a friendly smile broke. Men born in Lampung was 

rushed to carry luggage.

He led me and the entourage 

headed Risen Maris Hotel is located 

in the center of the activities of 

the Raja Ampat, Waisai.

Raja Ampat travel spawned 

the development of a wide selection

of places to stay for tourists. 

The price also varied.

Hotel Maris Resen comfortable enough facilities occupied by two beds 

and a bathroom. Per night valued around Rp 450,000.

The next day I changed specialty 

and his entourage in Cockatoo 

Hostel. 

This hostel is pretty fitting 

accommodation for tourists

backpackers because the price 

is relatively cheaper. Price 

per night pegged around

Rp 300,000.

One room is filled by the four bed terraced types. 

The condition is suitable for travelers who came with the group. 

Facilities washing machine and wifi so give the impression the place is 

like home.

"Vacation to Raja Ampat is

expensive, but you will not 

regret it," said Husein (35). 

Hussein is a local resident who 

works as a skipper of 

a boat tour in Raja Ampat.

Questions about the cost of a trip to Raja Ampat is making travelers 

to wince. Hussein did not dismiss it.

One who made the trip to Raja Ampat expensive is the cost of transport 

to reach the point of tourist destinations there.

Each boat valued around Rp 5 million for 8-10 people. Therefore,

to reduce the cost of travel travelers are advised to come in groups.

"Indeed, the cost of transportation is expensive.

But if calculated so rational. The price of gasoline here is quite 

expensiveas well. Not to mention the trip to each of the islands which 

takes a long time," said Husein.

Raja Ampat is an area with a total of 1,864 islands. Of that amount,

only about 125 tourist sites open to the public.

Therefore, Husein said holidaymakers ideally a minimum of five days

to explore a number of interesting tourist destinations in Raja Ampat.

"Five days is already minimal.

If you want access to all the tourist attractions here, could probably 

spend about two months. 

There are many places that not many people know here," he said.

Hussein also warned that tourists do not 'trapped' by the cheap travel 

packages to Raja Ampat. Because many stories about tourists who are 

disappointed because of lack of experience maximum travel in 

Raja Ampat.

"As I said earlier, on holiday to Raja Ampat was expensive, 

but you will not regret it. That is, if you get the reference holiday 

to Raja Ampat is good and right," said Husein.
