Raja Ampat
The territory within the islands of Raja Ampat (or the Four Kings) is enormous, covering 9.8 million acres of land and sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700 types of mollusks.
This makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and underwater biota. According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International, around 75 percent of the world's species live here.
This is simply paradise for divers.
However, many of the islands are uninhabited so it is also a perfect location to explore and discover the unique flora and fauna that exists here.
Find hidden ancient caves, waterfalls, secluded beaches and even lakes filled with non-stinging jellyfish.
