    My little family (4 adults) got 7 days wonderful journey around Waisai and Misool with Mr. Abdul. He helps us with managing all transport, homestay, and activities as we ask. From Sorong airport, then back to the airport again, including cars, a Misool ferry ticket with cabin, home stays at Arborek and Yalapale, boats for hoping island, all at a good price. With Mr. Abdul guides, we can get the perfect vacation dizziness, especially at Misool because it’s a little bit hard to contact homestays (poor signal) and all have to pay cash. Mr. Abdul was managing so well, no boat late, no sold-out boat ticket, no wasting time, everything was on time control. He can also manage to get special food if we ask, like traditional food.

    Mr. Abdul knows much about Raja Ampat. He (as Dive Master) knows many spots for diving and snorkeling and knows the perfect time to visit these spots so we can get wonderful views without crowds. And he is creative to make our days not boring with small activity like just snorkeling around jetty meet schooling fish, teach my son for freedive, my daughter for light diving. Or fishing..(he shows us catching fish with his bare hands😁).

    My family is very satisfied with Mr. Abdul’s services. I couldn’t expect more. Very recommended guide when staying at Raja Ampat. Thank you, Mr. Abdul, for making great memories of wonderful Raja Ampat.

    Last time we stayed at Nut Tonton, Mr.Abdul as our guide for 5 days for snorkeling excursions. He is very patient and has good service-minded. He guided us to see wonderful land and underwater world of Misool, very impressive. He also took beautiful underwater photos of my sons and daughter with colorful big coral and jellyfish, great memories for us. Thanks Mr.Abdul for guiding us 🙏

    As you will see from my other reviews from this trip, Nut Tonton was our last stop on an whirlwind 8-day 4-homestay odyssey which took us to both the tippy top (Wayag) and the rock bottom (Misool) of Raja Ampat… and everything in between. We’re ecstatic we made it to the South. We were debating whether we should… and ultimately chose to… and what a good decision that was! Views like no other… remote yet accessible… just perfect. Abdul was our guide at Nut Tonton and traveled with us on the ferry both ways from Sorong to Misool and back. I was later told by him that his fluency in English is why the homestay contracts with him to offer his services as a guide to foreign groups. He is also a certified rescue diver, so as professional as they come. Abdul, unbeknownst to us was filming our excurions via drone for a customized video of our time in the South (links below) — obviously we could see he was operating the drone but we didn’t know that he was making a video especially for us — we thought he was doing promo marketing work for the homestay… so that was a super pleasant surprise. He went above and beyond, staying with us after we got off in Sorong and taking us to a shop on the way to the airport, so we could buy Raja Ampat T-shirts. He also took us on all the excursions to all the hot spots around… so that all was an A+. Here are links for the videos.

    Both link to the same videos but I understand Vimeo may be inaccessible in certain areas – however the Vimeo resolution is a lot better than Youtube.

    Thanks Abdul!

          Hi Mr.Ron, thanks for sharing your itinerary, very inspired. Would you pls share yr experiences about homestay that u mentioned except Nut Tonton and any snokeling spots we should avoid.
          I am planning to travel to Raja Ampat on 19 December 2022, thinking to follow your itinerary since we have only 8 night 9 day in Raja Ampat.

          Do you visit Wayag by using service from
          Bon Wauw homestay?

          Your advise will be most grateful.
