Wayag to Batanta
In January 2020, I went on a 4 day private tour with Andreas. I had many emails and messages during 2019 from my home in Australia to him in Raja Ampat and felt comfortable booking my tour with him as he always answered any questions I had during the booking phase.
When the day finally arrived, in Jan 2020, he turned up at my homestay on Kri to pick me up right on time as promised. We spent the next 4 days cruising around all the interesting spots to see around Raja Ampat. Andreas is very relaxed, and basically was willing to take me wherever I wanted, combined of course with his own local knowledge. We had some awesome snorkelling sessions at places where we never saw another person. His knowledge of tides, currents, hidden locations was truly excellent. I couldn't believe how he even knew so many locations. Whenever we stopped at some extremely isolated villages for supplies, the locals would all know him.
