Halo Travelers,Ā
The Lost Paradise of Indonesia's Coral Kingdom
If you're hunting for the most pristine marine wilderness on Earth, Misoolāone of the four major islands in the Raja Ampat archipelagoāis it. Think turquoise lagoons, limestone karsts jutting from the sea, secret beaches, and some of the richest coral reefs on the planet.
Misool isnāt just for divers (though it is a bucket-list dive site). Itās also home to ancient petroglyphs etched into seaside caves, bioluminescent plankton, and a private marine reserve established by the local community. The result? A sanctuary for manta rays, sea turtles, and untouched reef systems.
Getting there takes effortāflying into Sorong and taking a long boat rideābut once you arrive, itās like stepping into an untouched Eden.
