Where Turquoise Lagoons, Limestone Towers, and Untouched Reefs Converge
Misool welcomes travelers with a cinematic landscape of emerald karst islands, glowing turquoise lagoons, and some of the richest coral reefs on Earth. Remote, pristine, and protected, this southern gem of Raja Ampat feels like a world far removed from modern civilization. A journey to Misool is a journey into pure wilderness where silence, clarity, and nature’s raw beauty come together in harmony.
Book Your Wayag AdventureLocated in the far south of Raja Ampat, Misool is one of the region's most spectacular natural wonders. Its dramatic limestone towers rise from sparkling waters, creating an otherworldly seascape dotted with hidden beaches and crystal-clear lagoons.
Misool is globally recognized for its 300,000-hectare Marine Reserve, one of the most successful "no-take zones" in the world. Here, marine life flourishes without disturbance—schools of fish, reef sharks, manta rays, and vibrant coral gardens thrive in rare density and clarity.
Misool lies in the southernmost part of Raja Ampat and is best accessed by private yacht, phinisi liveaboard, or expedition cruise.
From Sorong Port, the journey typically takes 6–8 hours by luxury yacht. Because of its remote location, Misool is rarely part of short itineraries. Most travelers explore Misool as part of curated Southern Raja Ampat expeditions lasting 5–10 days. Our vessels are designed to navigate the narrow lagoons and limestone channels safely, giving guests exclusive access to hidden beaches and lagoon entrances.

Request Custom ItineraryMisool is one of Indonesia's most strictly protected marine zones. Local communities, conservation groups, and resorts collaborate to maintain the region's pristine condition.
Designated mooring points protect coral reefs from anchor damage. Vessels must use sustainable anchoring systems.
No fishing or collecting marine life is permitted. This has led to remarkable reef recovery and biodiversity.
Chemical sunscreens harm coral. Guests must use mineral-based, reef-safe alternatives.
Your visit directly supports local patrols, education programs, and sustainable tourism development.
Misool offers good conditions year-round, but the ideal season is October to April when seas are calmer and visibility is highest.
Still good for visiting but with occasional rain and slightly rougher seas. Lower tourist numbers mean more solitude.
Monsoon season with rough seas can make the journey challenging. Most operators avoid Wayag during these months.
Book early for peak season (October–April) as Southern Raja Ampat itineraries fill up quickly.
No cell phone signal in Misool. Inform family before departure and enjoy digital detox.
Follow strict marine reserve rules: no fishing, no touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen only.
A deserted beach picnic awaits on pure white sand. Few travelers reach Wayag due to its remoteness, but our luxury expeditions include it as a highlight of the Raja Ampat experience. This untouched paradise remains beautifully beyond the crowds.
