June 2024 Filmed with Canon G7X, Gopro8 “Papua Diving's Kri Eco resort is Raja Ampat's oldest resort and has been a favorite among divers since it was created by Raja Ampat's original pioneer, Max Ammer. Located along the white-sand northern coast of Kri Island, in the central region of the world-famous Raja Ampat Marine Park, the resort's protected location makes diving possible all year round. Here you can set out with our local Papuan guides to experience the greatest marine biodiversity anywhere on the planet (as evidenced by Dr. Gerry Allen's world record dive at Cape Kri!). Almost all of Raja Ampat's top-rated dive sites are less than a 20-minute ride away on our custom-built dive boats. After diving, relax and watch the sunset in one of our 12 Papuan-style cabins built by our local staff using only natural materials found on the islands. In the evening, enjoy home-cooked meals in our spacious dining room overlooking the ocean. Whether it's macro or blankets you're looking for, Kri-Eco PADI 5-Star Resort has it all! Kri is quite a small island. It’s a long, narrow, forested island that is really part of the neighbouring Pulau Mansuar, from which it is separated by a narrow and shallow strait. In fact, Kri has always been known to its traditional owners as Mansuar Kecil (“Little Mansuar”). It was effectively renamed by an early foreign resort owner who relocated from the original Pulau Kri at Batanta. He didn’t want to change all his promotional material, so… but that’s another story. Kri’s attractions are its surrounding reefs, great beaches and the several homestay dive centers on the island. Thanks to the “Lonely Planet Effect”, Kri is by far the most popular island in Raja Ampat and – as a consequence – is the location of Raja Ampat’s largest and busiest homestays. If you’re looking for lots of interaction with other visitors, then Kri is the place for you. If you want the quietest experience possible, head for the south coast homestays. The concentration of homestays along Kri’s north shore means that Kri is also one of the few places you can arrive without a booking and walk from place to place until you find a room. (In the December/January high season though, you’d almost certainly have a better chance of success doing that between the villages of Sawinggrai and Kapisawar on Gam.) Kri’s forests, although not being home to Birds of Paradise, are rich in birdlife. Reptiles are well represented too, with large monitors occasionally making an appearance. Jungle trekking isn’t really possible due to the steep terrain and lack of trails, although there is one path that climbs to a high point near the island’s western end. Fabulous panoramas of the Dampier Strait and neighbouring islands are available from there, and sunset from the lookout is spectacular. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes though – and to carry flashlights or headtorches if staying for the sunset! Many guests on Kri are dismayed by the fact that the island’s native rat population has exploded in tandem with tourism. The rats are really only troublesome if you keep food in your bungalow. They can be very persistent, and plastic containers aren’t much of a deterrent. They’re fond of bars of soap too. If you don’t keep food (or anything that smells like food) in your bungalow, then you usually won’t be bothered by nightly incursions. If you’re afraid of rats and can’t bear the sound of them occasionally scurrying through your roof, then Kri is probably not a good choice for you. Another issue for some guests is Kri’s slightly brackish groundwater. The lack of good fresh water is the reason villages were never established on many small islands like Kri. If the idea of bathing in slightly salty water is more than you can bear, then it would probably be better to choose a place elsewhere. Music: Meek - Sean Williams Empty Seats - Roland Bingaman
