THURSDAY - RAJA AMPAT - WAYA


A lazy day today. This morning we went exploring in the aptly named Explorer through the maze of waterways which is the Wayag Lagoon. It is a very picturesque area of numerous limestone conical shaped islands with crystal clear water and numerous coral areas where the water is shallow enough to see it. It would not be hard to get lost if you didn't maintain a consciousness of where you were.

This afternoon, we set up camp on a nearby beach where the afternoon's program was glass bottom boat viewing, kayaking, mountain climbing and, of course, snorkelling. There was no diving today. The water in this area is not deep enough. The mountain climb was to the top of Mt. Pinado from which spectacular views of the surrounding area could be seen. A very pleasant time was had by all.
