Luxury Raja Ampat
Boo Windows is one of Raja Ampat's most iconic dive sites — instantly recognizable for its dramatic twin rock formations pierced by natural "windows" carved by the sea. Beneath the surface, these openings create a surreal underwater gateway where sunlight pours through like spotlights, illuminating shoals of fish and vibrant coral gardens below. The result is a dreamlike landscape: half cathedral, half canyon, all pure Raja Ampat magic.
Boo Windows is celebrated for its signature swim-through, a naturally sculpted arch framed by two openings that divers can glide past as beams of light cut through the blue.
It's one of the most photographed sites in Raja Ampat for good reason: the combination of shallow reefs, dramatic topography, and abundant marine life makes every pass through the "windows" a cinematic experience.
This site beautifully blends geology, coral health, and big-fish action — making it a must-dive for both adventure seekers and underwater photographers.
