Mansuar, a long, strip-like Indonesian island off the north-western coast of West Papua, is part of the Raja Ampat Islands group. Boasting easy accessibility, gorgeous beaches, and fantastic snorkelling opportunities, this is a wonderful choice for a holiday destination. At Sauwandarek Village, a picturesque jetty and jaw-dropping coral reef home to abundant sea life make this a top choice for diving and snorkelling, offering the chance to see thousands of colourful fish as well as huge turtles, giant clams, and octopuses. On the opposite side of the island, Cape Kri provides another phenomenal diving spot where up to 374 fish species have been spotted, along with rays and sharks. Characterised by a virgin forest-covered limestone ridge, and home to an inland lake, the island is also great for hiking, photography, and birdwatching.
