staying on Kri
Accommodation
Please take note
We are fully dedicated to supporting locally owned businesses in Raja Ampat. To support them, we have agreed not to dive with guests staying at homestays with other dedicated dive centres. Therefore, if you'd like to stay at any of the following homestays with dive centres we are not able to take you diving: Lumba Lumba, Yenkoranu, Delvin, Luki, Turtle and Koranu Fyak. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. If you'd like to dive with us we partner with various locally owned homestays that are happy to send their guests to us for diving.
When you stay other side of the island or on another island and wish to do 3 dives per day/adventure trips, ask your homestay to prepare a lunch box for you. We offer pick-ups from Kri Island when the tide is high.
This is what low tide looks like... are you ready for a walk?
We offer coffee, tea drinking water and snacks for surface intervals.

Stay Raja Ampat
You can book your homestay online on Stay Raja Ampat’s website: www.stayrajaampat.com
The process works like this: You request a booking for a homestay, if your booking is accepted, you have 48 hours to pay the full amount of your stay via bank transfer to Stay Raja Ampat and then your booking will be confirmed.
This is a good option if you don't want to bring a lot of cash to the island. Also, you're supporting an excellent non-profit organization, Stay Raja Ampat, that numerous local family businesses in Raja Ampat rely on.
Important information
Transportation to and from Waisai and Kri island is 800.000 IDR shared among all passengers.
Be sure to contact your Homestay directly about what time you need to be picked up.
There are no ATMs or shops on Kri Island. There are ATMs in Sorong and Waisai. We recommend changing money before arriving in Sorong. You can top up Telkomsel phone credit and buy snacks like chips, candy and soda at the small "kiosk" in Yenbuba village on Mansuar Island. There is often good 4G signal, so if you buy a Telkomsel sim card you can access the internet.
Raja Ampat suffers from a total lack of safe waste disposal and recycling services. All homestays request that their guests please take their non-organic waste away with them when they leave, so as to not contribute to the growing trash problem on the islands.
