Raja Ampat Unrevealed
More than 100 people have sent me the same message: where do I stay in Raja Ampat? Choose the wrong island and you spend half your trip on transfer boats going back to spots that were right next door. So I cleaned up my own travel notebook and turned it into this: four itineraries written day by day, the homestays I actually slept in, and the real receipts for each route.

From my travel notebook to yours.
Four complete itineraries, written day by day: 7, 10, 15 and 21 days. A chapter on choosing your island, and another on the homestays themselves, the ones I slept in and the ones I would book next, with what I paid. Then the budget, in real receipts, per route. Plus an interactive map with every spot pinned.
A preview of the real guide.
The guide is a PDF you read offline, on the boat, with no signal. Everything inside it is still live: the links, the map and the numbers are clickable.
1,500 islands and one real question: where do you sleep? Three questions settle it: whether it is your first time, how long you are staying, and what you actually came for. Six islands compared on what each one costs you in boat time, in money and in quiet. It is the page that took the longest to build, and the one readers come back to.
Every homestay, snorkelling and dive spot, viewpoint and jetty, pinned. Open it on your phone and follow it from the boat.
The homestays, the boats, the drivers. Tap a number and WhatsApp opens on the conversation. Every one of them is somebody I dealt with myself.

Je t’écris par rapport à ton guide, tu nous sauvé, on pouvait pas partir trop longtemps et notre avion a eu du retard donc on a loupé le ferry et on allait perdre un jour à Sorong mais dans ton guide il y avait le contact du transport privé on a partagé le bateau à 5 et ils nous a ramené sur notre île directement !! Encore merci
Je voulais t’envoyer un message pour te remercier pour ton guide, on était perdu on savait pas sur quelle île resté ni combien de temps rester et quel homestay choisir ! On a compris que l’île qui nous correspondait le mieux était GAM et on a suivi tes conseils pour s’organiser donc merci beaucoup 🙏🏻🐡
Salut mec, on rêvait de Raja Ampat avec ma copine mais on était un peu serré niveau budget, grâce à toi on a compris comment réduire ses frais et on a passé un super voyage sans se priver encore merci 😉
Coucou, ça faisait des semaines que je faisais des recherches et je savais toujours pas dans quel homestay logé j’avais peur d’avoir un homestay sale ou sans récif, j’ai été au même que le tien et je suis trop contente de mon choix merci beaucoup !!
Je n’avais pas prévu d’aller à Raja Ampat mais tes vidéos m’ont donné envie, j’ai pris ton guide par curiosité et voilà mon sac est prêt je pars demain j’ai suivi tous tes conseils et je vais suivre l’itinéraire 2 j’ai hâte de le tester 👍🏽
