Raja Ampat Travel Insurance – Essential Coverage Guide
Travel insurance for Raja Ampat isn’t optional—it’s essential. The archipelago’s remote location means medical evacuation costs can exceed $50,000, and flight cancellations to Sorong are more common than to mainstream destinations. Here’s what coverage you need.
Essential Coverage
Medical Evacuation: Minimum $100,000 coverage. Raja Ampat’s nearest hospital with surgical capability is in Sorong. Serious cases require evacuation to Jakarta or Singapore by air ambulance.
Diving Coverage: If diving, ensure your policy specifically covers scuba diving activities and hyperbaric chamber treatment. DAN (Divers Alert Network) insurance is recommended as a supplement.
Trip Cancellation: Domestic flights to Sorong can be cancelled due to weather or operational issues. Coverage should reimburse non-refundable cruise/resort costs.
Equipment: Underwater camera equipment, dive gear, and personal electronics coverage. Salt water damage and loss during boat transfers are real risks.
Recommended Providers
World Nomads (good diving coverage), Allianz Global Assistance, DAN insurance (diving-specific), and your existing premium credit card travel insurance (verify remote area and diving exclusions).
Our Support
