We are offering 25% discount off accommodation, dive and snorkel packages for this Shoulder Season trip 4-12 September 2015! Misool Eco Resort, is located on a private island, very remote in the southern region of Raja Ampat, West Papua. It is probably one of the most beautiful eco resorts on the planet! Here is a chance for Adventurers who up for something different and don’t mind to compromise for a good deal. Misool offers special Shoulder Season Adventure Trips during June and September. The next trip 
is 4-12 September 2015. These trips bookend the windy season, so the weather can be unpredictable. In the worst case scenario, you’ll get a taste of the South Monsoon, with strong, dry winds from the south and 1-2 meter waves. But more likely is that there will be occasional periods of wind and very little rain. Diving is still possible when surface conditions are rough, though there may be more plankton in the water. Which of course brings anchovies and pelagics! In the event of particularly rough seas, they’ll focus the diving on the House Reef and nearby sites such as Fiabacet, Kalig, and Whale Rock.
The Ferry
This trip isn’t for everyone – that’s why they offer adventurous souls a 25% discount on accommodation and diving.Because of the variability of conditions, they do not operate their regular transfer boat during the shoulder season. Instead, transport between Sorong and Misool is on a public ferry. It’s a big steel ship, and guests will have their own cabin with bunk beds. It’s a safe and comfortable 8-hour journey, but it’s still very much a local experience.
Twin cabin on Ferry
Here is more adventure for you! The ferry leaves Sorong on 4th September (Friday night), sleep on the ferry in your twin cabin, and you’ll arrive at a pearl farm location called ‘Tiga Lima’ at about 8:00 am the following morning. Misool’s transfer boat will collect you there to make the final 1-hour journey to the resort island. Please note that the transfer boats are covered, but not enclosed. The crew will bring tarpaulins to cover your baggage from rain or sea spray, but we highly recommend packing your valuables and electronics in a seal-able dry bag.
The return trip is during the day, departing the resort at about 7:00 am
and arriving back in Sorong in the evening. The cost of transport, including all ground handling, ferry ticket, a private double occupancy cabin, and speed boat transfer between ‘Tiga Lima’ and the resort is 175 Euros per person round trip.
7 night packages is 9 nights altogether: 1 night on the Ferry, 7 nights Misool Resort + 1 night Sorong. All guests return to Sorong after 7 nights and stay 1 additional night at a local hotel (inclusive in accommodation package incl. breakfast). Guests can then depart at any time the following day (13th September). In case you are keen, contact us, we are happy to email you a full quote and handle book it for you.
