Activities
Raja Ampat Diva Homestay has a great location on the outskirts of Yenbeser village and is backed by dense jungle full of bird and animal life.
The sandy beach provides easy access to the ocean and the house reef has great snorkelling. Bring your own snorkelling gear. Diving and sightseeing tours are also available. Sport fishing trips can also be arranged.
Village visits are easily made – it’s only a few minutes walk to Yenbeser, either along the beach or via a path that winds through the village cemetery.
There’s good snorkelling from the Yenbeser jetty and the Dore Atri lagoon at the very northern end of the village is very pretty and inhabited by a host of juvenile fish and other creatures fond of seagrass habitats. (You have to follow a path from the back of the village around a headland to reach the northern half of Yenbeser and Dore Atri.)
Longer hikes can be arranged and Raja Ampat Diva Homestay can also provide traditional canoes for daily hire.
