Sorong (west Papua) Indonesia
Hotel 3
Welcome to Raja Ampat, whose name means ’Four Kings’; legend has it that a woman found seven sacred eggs and four future kings hatched from them. Located at the ’beak’ of West Papua’s Bird’s Head Peninsula (or Doberai Peninsula), Sorong is where our trip begins. It’s the largest town in West Papua and the gateway to the islands of Raja Ampat (Pulau Raja Ampat). We have no activities included for tonight, so perhaps take the opportunity to join fellow travelers for dinner. You might like to sample the street food along the waterfront, opposite the Marina Mamberamo.
Those arriving earlier should check out Stone Hill for a panoramic view of the town /– it’s dotted with remnants of Dutch colonial houses and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Also consider visiting Sapta Ratna Pagoda, a local Buddhist temple; the best time to visit is late afternoon when it’s cooler, and you can climb to the top for a beautiful panoramic sunset (to get there catch a becak, cycle rickshaw, or taxi, or simply make the one-hour walk). Those after a more relaxing option can head to Tanjung Kasuari (15 minutes by taxi from the hotel). Since Sorong is a port town, fresh seafood is abundant and you can buy fresh fish and have it barbecued in front of you.
Tomorrow we head off early to the port to catch the 9 am ferry to Waisai. Our local guide will be waiting for you in the hotel foyer at 8.20 am.
