Our Signature Journey through the Four Kings
Expedition Overview
The Raja Ampat Grand Expedition is our most comprehensive journey through this extraordinary archipelago, combining the celebrated reefs of Central Raja Ampat with the remote wilderness of Southern Raja Ampat and Misool.
Beginning in Sorong, WiSu carries you across to Waisai before the diving adventure begins the following morning. From the current-swept reefs of the Dampier Strait to Misool's spectacular soft coral gardens, manta cleaning stations and dramatic limestone islands, this expedition reveals the remarkable diversity of Raja Ampat.
Over ten nights, we explore legendary sites around Kri and Mansuar, venture south into Misool for several unforgettable days, then journey north again through Piaynemo, Yangeffo and Arborek before returning to Sorong.
This extended itinerary combines world-class diving, remote island landscapes, authentic encounters and the relaxed rhythm of life aboard WiSu.
