Wayag Islands in the Raja Ampat Islands of Indonesia

The Wayags are part of the larger Raja Ampat Islands off the coast of Indonesia’s West Papua province. These small, uninhabited islands are popular with divers and snorkellers eager to explore the vast and diverse reef system surrounding them. The Wayags are part of the Coral Triangle, which covers only 1.6 per cent of Earth’s oceanic region, but contains 76 per cent of every known coral species on the planet.
