Bounded by the turquoise waters of West Papua, Gam Island is a slice of paradise idyllically arrayed with a lush hilly terrain, limestone cliffs, and a dense jungle brimming with birdlife. Bring your binoculars and observe the Red Birds of Paradise, Western Crowned Pigeons, Palm Cockatoos and the Maleo: a ground-dwelling bird that builds huge nest mounds on the forest floor. Opportunities for snorkelling and diving are excellent, and the southern coast is lined with traditional beachfront homestays nestled near lively local villages. Kayaking and dolphin watching are popular activities at Kabui Bay, with white sand beaches and clear waters on the south side, while the northern parts are lined with mangroves and filled with karst islands.
