HISTORY

Raja Ampat holds a rich history, still very much alive and honored by the many tribes, who call this archipelago home. While there are not huge tourist-type sites that you’ll find in other destinations, you can visit the many villages to learn more about the history that is passed down from generations. You may even get to see some tribal dancing or artisans at work making wood carvings and other artwork. You’ll learn how the people of this region have thrived, and some of the stories held close to their hearts that recount the past and preserve it for the generations to come. Many locals will invite you to their homes, so you can see how they live. In the villages of Waifoi and Warimak on the eastern shore of northern Mayalibit Bay, you’ll get to walk a day in the life of the Ambel Maya people and visit their ancient cultural sites as well. However, most importantly, you’ll walk away with a greater appreciation of what these locals value. On your Raja Ampat yacht charter, you’ll have an authentic cultural adventure.
