Final Thoughts
Raja Ampat might be slightly overrated. It’s still good diving but it is very expensive! There are so many more affordable places to get wet and just as good. For the budget-conscious, I would skip and go somewhere cheaper.
If you are dead set on going to Raja Ampat, try a homestay. The outside of Yenkorane looked amazing. Never stayed or went in, stopped on their dock for a break.
In Raja’s defense, the viability was poor. Poseidon was shaking his fist.
