Kofiau Islands

I and my friends visited Kofiau islands early this week. We went there by speed boat from Misool islands. It was a nice adventure because we could get the opportunity to see a lot of tropical islands in the southern region of Raja Ampat.

In late September, strong wind from east and south covered the region. This generated big waves that were dangerous for small boats.

Kofiau Raja Ampat Festival

Kofiau islands are a small group of islands located in the southwest region of Raja Ampat. The landscape and seascape views of the archipelago are very beautiful with crystal clear sea water and pristine rainforest. There will be a festival in the islands from 24 to 29 October 2018. The event will be conducted by local guides in cooperation with the islanders of Kofiau, and the local government of Raja Ampat.

During the festival, visitors will be able to see traditional dances, enjoy swimming, snorkeling and freediving over colorful coral reef of Raja Ampat that is the natural habitat of a lot of species of fish and other marine creatures. 

Visitors who are interested in attending the festival need to be in Sorong city at least 2 days before the event so that transporation by boats can be organized.
