    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Bag Island, out in the Wayag archipelago, feels truly remote. It’s not the easiest spot to reach, so you’ll often have Magic Rock to yourselves, which is a real treat. This enormous coral-covered boulder punches up from the deep, and when the currents are running, it’s just electric with fish. We’re talking fusiliers, snappers, and batfish so thick they can blot out the sun for a moment. It’s a site for those who appreciate some thrilling current and don't mind a bit of a journey for that proper Raja Ampat rush.
