Wayag is the northernmost island group in Raja Ampat and home to one of the most dramatic karst lagoon systems in Southeast Asia. Steep-sided limestone towers densely covered in tropical vegetation are mirrored in glass-calm turquoise lagoons below, accessible only by liveaboard or chartered boat. The summit hike to the panoramic viewpoint rewards visitors with an expansive aerial perspective over dozens of islets.
