This resort has everything that you would want in a dive vacation. The dive sites are pristine and very diverse, the dive guides and boat operators are engaging and professional, and the facilities and operations for diving are superior and smooth.

This was my 12th trip to Raja Ampat, but all the previous ones were on liveaboards as I was convinced that was the best way. I was wrong as land based from a resort is a great option. The point though is which resort as not all are created equal. Sorido Bay is really exceptional.

Small enough to feel like staying at a little private camp, but big enough to offer plenty of choices - be it diving, bird watching or just taking it easy on the beach or getting a massage. The team is very attentive and work with you to design an itinerary that meets your expectations. Experience of a life time.
