[ update : CLOSE AGAIN ] Wayag Raja Ampat Papua is Open Again – After a long wait marked by a spirit of conservation and reconciliation, the most anticipated news has finally arrived for the tourism community and nature lovers worldwide:
Wayag, the crown jewel of Raja Ampat, will officially reopen to the general public starting December 16, 2025!
Wayag, with its legendary clusters of karst islands that soar like green pyramids above crystal-blue waters, had halted tourist visits since mid-June 2025.
This temporary closure, which lasted approximately six months, was carried out to honor the process of traditional dialogue and provide a crucial rest period for the area’s sensitive ecosystem to naturally recover.
Now, the wait is over. Thanks to close coordination between the Local Government, the Kawei Tribe Traditional Council (the customary rights holders), and all tourism stakeholders, a harmonious agreement has been reached. Wayag is ready to welcome back travelers who yearn for this genuine bucket list panorama.
Raja Ampat’s Gem Restored: Wayag is Open Again
Wayag is not merely a destination; it is the ultimate symbol of the unparalleled natural beauty of Southwest Papua. Visitors will once again have the golden opportunity to hike the iconic trail to the viewpoint, where the winding karst formations spread out, creating a landscape widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sights on Earth.
The reopening of Wayag sends a positive signal that Raja Ampat has never lost its charm. The previous closure, in fact, demonstrated a strong commitment from the local community and government to ensure Wayag’s sustainability.
Your upcoming visit is a form of appreciation for conservation efforts and respect for local wisdom.
