Rumba Boo Islets
waders and more
0.5 or 1 day, from € 65
The Rumba Boo Islets lie off the northeast coast of Salawati Island
in the Raja Ampat archipelago, just half an hour's boat ride away
from Sorong. These sandy atolls are an excellent place to come to
grips with a variety of waders and wetland birds, besides sporting
a number of so-called 'supertramps': wide-ranging colonists that
thrive on species-poor small islands. Great as a relaxed half a
day's out birding.
