Misool - February 2013

Misool Eco Resort is located in the Raja Ampat region of eastern Indonesia. It is accessed by flying into Sorong on the western tip of New Guinea, followed by a five hour boat ride. The resort itself is located on the small island of Batbitim, which is on the southeast side of Misool Island. Surrounded by a 460 square mile No-Take Fishing Zone, the reefs are very healthy and the larger-fish population is rebounding nicely.
