To come to Raja Ampat, in general route taken by visitors or tourists is to do with air travel to the city of Sorong - West Papua (Domine Edward Osok). At the airport there is no international flight paths that can go directly to Domine Edward Osok. So, if you are coming from abroad, you have to transit in Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar or Makasar. And if you want to take the shortest path, you can transit in Ujung Pandang and takes about 5 hours and 15 minutes to reach the town of Sorong.

Then from the town of Sorong, proceed with using vehicles taxi heading to Palabuhan people to go to the capital of Raja Ampat (Waisai). After that, your trip will be resumed by using the transport Ferry or can rent a speed boat, and was advised on this port you must provide supplies such as mineral water, instant food and so forth. because in Waisai (capital of Raja Ampat), the price of the more expensive supplies purposes. At the port, there are two ferry that serves the path of travel from Sorong to Waisai, and usually departs every 14.00 CET, then the ship will depart only about 1-2 hours later. The trip will take 4-5 hours to reach the port Waisai.

But for those who have the desire rent a speedboat, which is ideal time to get across is before the rising sea water, which is usually in pairs or as a result gelumbang around before 12:00 CET. This is done because of concern things happen - things that are not desirable, because large speedboat is smaller than the ship, so it is easily shaken by the waves. Then that becomes the record for you is obedient to the instructions of the ship's captain when instructed to postpone the trip headed for the port Waisai due to bad weather, tides or other problems. It is rather complicated route to Raja Ampat. However, the future of local government will develop the airports in Waisai (airport Marinda), which in turn could facilitate access to Raja Ampat.
