Pulau Rumberpon
After snorkeling and diving crystal clear waters around Purup island, head over to nearby uninhibited Rumberpon island for some world-class deserted beaches. At first, the island will seem like a private island featuring Pasir Panjang beach with its 6 km of deserted coastline. It will feel surreal, not seeing a single soul in this piece of heaven. Kayak, through bewitching mangrove forests, jammed to the brim with rare birds and endangered animals. There is so much more to discover in Cenderawasih Bay than whale sharks!
