Raja Ampat is one of my lists to go to since I was a child. I never knew this place exist in Indonesia until I saw a picture in a magazine. Far from the view-blocking skyscrapers, congested traffics, tourists, noises, and all the nuisances of modern cities,that's why make Raja Ampat a pristine paradise. Raja Ampat located in West Papua Province. Even though Papua is within Indonesia, to go to Raja Ampat from Jakarta is really far, it takes around 5 hours by plane. Also, everything is much more expensive in Raja Ampat than Jakarta and Bali. However, it will be a paradise for those who like beaches and oceans, especially water activities (e.g diving)
