    Raja Ampat

    In Bahasa Indonesia, Raja Ampat means "Four Kings", i.e. four kings who ruled four
    kingdoms in the region, namely Waigeo, Misool, Salawati, and Batanta. The name of Raja
    Ampat is taken from the folklore that exist in the region. In the folklore is said that in ancient
    times there was a husband and wife who accidentally found 6 dragon eggs on the banks of the
    Waikeo River. Because they are hungry, they intend to cook the six eggs. When about to be
    cooked, five of the six eggs hatch and out 5 human babies. Four men and one woman. They were
    later named War, Betani, Dohar, and Muhammad. While the women are named Pintolee.

    The beauty of Raja Ampat began to be known throughout the world in 1990. At that time,
    a Dutch diver named Max Ammer visited the area. The initial goal was to track the whereabouts
    of planes and ships used in World War II that were supposed to have been sunk in inspections. It
    turned out that Max Ammer was fascinated by the diversity of biota in Raja Ampat. So in 1998
    he invited Gerry Allen, an Australian fishery expert, to conduct a survey in this place.

    Raja Ampat or The Four Kings is a famous island located on the northwestern tip of the
    Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of Papua, in the province of West Papua, Indonesia. This is
    known as a diving paradise for people throughout the world. Raja ampat Regency was formed
    based on constitution number 26 of 2002, a development of Sorong Regency on April 12, 2003.
    This area has 46,000 km2. However, 85% of this area is archipelago. There are 610 islands in
    this area. But most of them are uninhabited. Geographically, this area has a strategic location.
    The limits are:

    North side: Pacific Ocean

    West Side: North Maluku

    South side: Maluku Sea

    East Side: Sorong Regency

    Raja Ampat covers 9.8 million hectares of land and sea, home to 540 species of coral,
    1,000 species of reef fish, and 700 types of mollusks. That makes Raja Ampat the most diverse
    living library for coral reefs and underwater biota in the world. In addition, Raja Ampat has
    beautiful views, especially from underwater corals and beaches. Under the water of Raja Ampat
    Island, we can see many natural coral reefs that have never been touched by humans. We can
    also see many fish that have many colors and types. They usually hide between coral reefs to rest
    or incubate their eggs. Not only that, we can see a lot of war planes and ships that sank in World
    War II.

    Because of the beautiful underwater scenery, many tourists come to Raja Ampat island.
    They come from Indonesia or from other countries. They come to Raja Ampat by plane or boat,
    but most tourists go to Raja Ampat by plane to shorten their travel time.

    There are many things you can see besides the underwater scenery. You can meet many
    fishermen around the coast, some of whom become tour guides for foreign tourists. The
    fishermen are very friendly and they will offer you "Pinang" (betel) or sweet candy. For the flora
    sector, Raja Ampat has many types of orchids, coconut Waigeo, iron or black wood, 'keruing'
    wood, 'ulin wood', etc.
