Electricity for lighting and charging devices is provided at night only via generator.Basic supplies can be purchased at Saporkren village, which is only a few minutes away by boat. Its also possible to walk to Saporkren via a jungle path (about 30 minutes.) Like everywhere else in Raja Ampat, there’s no safe way to dispose of inorganic waste at Yengkawe, so it’s best to take all yours away with you when you leave to avoid the possibility of further rubbishing paradise.Some Yengkawe staff can speak basic English, but it would be a good idea to bring a phrasebook if you don’t speak Bahasa Indonesia.Transport / Getting thereWasai transfers are by speedboat and cost IDR 300,000 each way. The boat can carry up to 10 people and trip cost is shared by passengers.Read more about Raja Ampat boat transport prices here.ActivitiesYengkawe Homestay’s little secret bay is a great quiet hideaway.
