Raja Ampat

Adventurous diving trips in the mystical and virtually unexplored areas of Raja Ampat and Manokwari, Papua Irian Jaya (the western half of the island of New Guinea).

We offer an opportunity for adventurous divers to experience some of the world's most exiting and varied diving. We specializes in two or three week adventurous diving trips in the mystical and virtually unexplored areas of Raja Ampat and Manokwari.

Two different dive trips are offered, one (a nature, reef diving orientated trip) in the Raja Ampat Islands area, starting from Sorong's Jefman Island airfield. The other (a partly nature, partly wreck diving orientated trip) starting from Manokwari airfield and continuing to the islands area after the first week.

Besides the dive we will ensure possibilities to also explore the area above water, visiting villages to meet the local people, jungle walking to see waterfalls and caves or just climb a hill to admire the view.

Dr. Allen counted and documented during the dive, 273 different fish species while making a one-hour dive on one of the new favorite dive sites. On his first visit, Dr. Allen stated in a report for Conservation International, that the reefs were among the best he had ever seen and that he had never seen so many big fish during any of his previous visits in Indonesia!

Kri Island Resort in Papua Sitting on the edge of mountainous Kri Island the dive resort is shaded by palm trees that run along a long fine white sand beach.

Wild birds awaken our guests each morning at sunrise so they will be on time for breakfast and the morning dive. We see Eclectis Parrots, Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, Hornbills, Great Billed Parrots, Brush Turkeys, Lorikeets, Kingfishers and others during the day.

An jetty built over the large shallow lagoon in front of the eco-resort also leads to five of the guest houses. As a bonus, since accommodations are over the water, we often see sharks, rays and schools of fish in our "garden".

The compressor, storage, toilets, baths and staff quarters are located on the island. Our dining and kitchen house is alongside the beach over the water! You can almost cool your toes while having dinner at high tide.

Inland from the beach are two Indonesian style baths, walled for privacy.

Kri Island Resort in Papua The well, also located behind the resort's buildings contains a more than adequate supply of rain water for our needs. It provides guests and staff with bathing, toilet, camera rinse and cooking water.

Water on Kri was hauled from the well by bucket and carried by hand, but now Kri has a pump and running water to the kitchen, western style toilets and for filling the bath containers. Drinking water is obtained from a neighboring island.

Meals are served in the large over-water kitchen/dining house on long tables sheltered by a palm frond roof. In the kitchen, coffee, tea and flavored drinks are always available for our guests.

The kitchen is always busy with our staff cooking over the gas burners in large woks or stew pots and an oven where Yolanda bakes fresh bread and occasionally pizza! There are no electrical appliances, everything is made my hand. In back of the kitchen, the staff slice fresh vegetables and fruits in the open air under the shade of the trees. Each meal is prepared fresh. Ice boxes, supplied weekly from Sorong, contain fresh meats and can chill a beer when required.

Kri Eco Resort currently has 6 over-water guest bungalows. Most of the buildings contain two rooms and at least one sitting area. Rooms are divided by partitions with doors and window coverings that can be closed for privacy. Each room has a mattress, pillow and mosquito net for bedding. Furnishings are hand-made benches or lounge chairs and tables where guests can relax, work on camera gear, talk and read.

One small over-water bungalow, located just a bit down the beach for a bit more privacy, contains only one room.

Two Western-style flush toilets, are located on the island near the end of the jetty and are shared by all the guests.

Kri Eco Resort is a simple but comfortable dive resort. Many of our guests like it for its peaceful location, natural surroundings and tropical island beauty.
