E-book preview
When to go?
The best time to visit Raja Ampat is between October and May. It’s the ideal season both for weather and for diving.
Avoid June to September, as it’s the windy season: the sea can be rough, with strong currents that sometimes make navigation and diving impossible.
How much it costs?
Raja Ampat is more expensive than other parts of Indonesia, mostly due to boat transfers and excursions.
Here’s an example budget for 2 people over 2 weeks:
- Return flight from Bali: €600
- Entry fee to Raja Ampat: €100
- 13 nights in a homestay: €735
- 7 excursions (snorkeling/visits): €223
- Wayag trip (2 days / 1 night): €915
- 4 dives: €268
- Transport: €304
Total: €3,145 for 2 people (2 weeks)

Comfort and hospitality can vary a lot from one place to another, so choosing the right one really matters.

hey !
We are Mélanie and Stephen
A nomadic travel couple exploring the world for the past five years.
After experiencing every possible travel struggle like cancelled flights, sketchy accommodations, scams and poorly planned routes, we learned how to organize perfect trips without stress or wasted time.
It all started three years ago when we shared our trip to Egypt on Instagram and received an avalanche of questions about organization, safety and local guides. That is when we decided to gather all our best recommendations in one super complete file so you can save time and travel peacefully without stress or bad surprises.
Hello! We are Mélanie & Stephen

Guides created by travelers, for travelers.
Today, our guides are the result of several years of experience and continuous improvement. Thanks to the feedback of thousands of travelers, we have made them even more practical, detailed and optimized 👌
Practical information
You can pay safely by bank card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Google Pay, Apple Pay and iDEAL. All payments are secure and protected
We only recommend places we REALLY loved (collaboration or not!) and we also also recommend places based on all our research (best locations, value for money, ratings on google/booking) so you really don't have to do anything (well yes, just choose according to your available budget!).
Personally, I have always had to read dozens of different blogs to organize an entire trip. Most bloggers only trace what they did and you need to do more research for the rest. Our guides are designed to save you this research time, and have everything in one place, from preparing (visa, business to bring, cash, sim card...) to visualizing your complete itinerary.
In addition, if you follow me on Instagram you know that we are always looking for little-known paradisiacal places, to find ourselves alone. And it's these gems that I keep very dear for my guides, I no longer share precise locations publicly! Not to mention the exclusive discounts that I negotiate and that you won't find anywhere else.
As soon as a guide is purchased, you get all of its updates for free! They will be sent to you by email to the address provided during your purchase.
