Who said to Raja Ampat in West Papua to
be expensive? The proof, by minimizing the cost of lodging and the other, you
do not need to spend tens of millions of dollars. This is the story of saving a
trip to Raja Ampat.
Raja Ampat is a popular tourist destination to visit foreign tourists and local tourists. However, the remote location factors in the eastern part of Indonesia, as well as constraints on the value of the cost is so expensive, is one factor that limits interest to traveling there.
Generally, the travel agents who serve destinations around the Raja Ampat set rates ranging from U.S. $ 55,000 (for a minimum of 20 people) to $ 145,000 (for a minimum of 2 people), for 4 days 3 nights trip. Activities that will be used to do is look at the rock scenery, snorkeling, bird watching, and visiting tourist villages, such costs are included.
But, beyond the cost of the ticket cost to get to Sorong and the Raja Ampat entrance fees are $ 25 per person. One factor the high cost of travel to Raja Ampat is a result of high fuel prices.
The Raja Ampat consists of four major islands, namely Waigeo, Missool, Batanta and Salawati, as well as more than 600 small islands. Therefore, high transport costs required to visit each island.
In addition, some well-known resort in Raja Ampat is generally put up rates stay high enough to pay in dollars. most of the tourists who come to stay are from Europe, so it's natural that they put high tariffs.
However, we also can save money for traveling in Raja Ampat by selecting lodging. That is, do not have to stay at the resorts owned by foreign nationals, but it helps you stay in houses or homestays. Villages like Yenbuba, Sawinggrai, Arborek and others, have a homestay for the visitors.
At that time, I came with my wife for saving traveling for 4 days and 3 nights in Raja Ampat. When traveling to the Raja Ampat, we chose to stay directly on small Mansuar Island, better known by the name of Kri Island.
We stayed at KoranuFyak Home stay family owned Ruben Sauyai. Family Ruben provides 5 simple hut made of palm leaves and pandan with size 4m x 5m cabin. In each cottage available wooden bed, a thin mattress and pillows and mosquito nets, each of which can accommodate 2 people.
