Kayaking in Raja Ampat is without a doubt the best way to explore the archipelago. Gliding silently among these spectacular islands without the noise and fume of outboard engines is to experience nature at its wild and beautiful best in what has to be the world’s greatest sea kayaking destination.
Raja Ampat’s maze of islets, peninsulas, bays and inlets provides kayaking opportunities for all skill and fitness levels.
A few homestays have kayaks available for local paddling. You can find those by applying the appropriate accommodation page search filter.
Kayaking in northern Raja Ampat
Gam Kayaks operate from a base next to Binn Betew Homestay at Kapisawar on Pulau Gam.
The calm, enclosed waters of Gam Bay are a safe environment for a first time paddle while affording plenty to explore. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a challenge, try working your way along Gam’s southern coast against the running tide!
Kayaking in Misool
