Kawe Island

Kawe Island, up in the northern reaches of Raja Ampat, offers a real sense of remoteness. You won't find resorts here, just quiet dive boats and plenty of space. We've often found ourselves drifting along walls and ridges, watching schools of fusiliers so thick they almost block out the sun, with the occasional reef shark cruising by in the blue. The currents can pick up, no doubt about it, so it's a spot that really suits divers who are comfortable with a bit of a push, particularly if you’re hoping for those manta encounters. It’s a good choice for those who value solitude underwater.
