Raja Ampat | One Month In Paradise | West Papua | Methos Homestay

[@timzeven]

Hi there! Thanks for all the views, likes, comments and subs. I didn't expect to get so many views. I'm trying to get to a 1000 subs. Please consider subscribing, it would help out a lot! Already working on the next video :)

Great Video I SUBSCRIBED....can you please tell me how much it costed for the month, how many dives you did and total cost of staying in raja ampat for a month

[@timzeven]

@@susancoelho8765 Thanks! The prices might have changed since we were there. You can ask your homestay for a pricelist. Stayrajaampat.com has a lot of information about the islands and will give you some indication of the prices. You can also check methoshomestay.com. We only went freediving/snorkeling 🙂

@@timzeven Thanks, which GoPro are ur using for the underwater videos?

[@timzeven]

At the time is was using a GoPro 8, for the Bonaire video I'm using the GoPro 10. 😁

[@alexbaum2204]

Finally! Finally a video that doesn’t look exactly the same as every other damn video out there. You know the type - the compulsory slow motion shots, someone waving their hand through swaying rice or wheat, the model who just so happens to be the videographer’s girlfriend (ass in every other shot), horrible EDM, etc. What may have been lacking in huge amounts of money spent on the absolute best equipment and editing was so much more than made up for by keeping it simple and just showing a clearly wonderful trip you had. I loved it! I was there 10 years ago. Traded my bicycle with a kepala desa as collateral for his outrigger. Used it for a few weeks to paddle over to Mansuar from Waigeo and then back over the channel to paddle around Gam. It was just starting to see the burgeoning homestay economy. I brought my tent, thinking I’d camp on the beach since the only other option was high so diving resorts. While I definitely camped when I could, the homestays were a welcome surprise. Amazing food and amazing people who really seemed to care about their homeland and the ocean. Needless to say, it was a hard place to leave. I found my bike exactly as I left it, forced the village chief to accept some cash for the use of his boat, and cycled back to Waisai with a heavy heart. Ferry boat to Sorong and flight out of Papua. The end of a four-month finale to a two-year adventure across the archipelago. Haven’t been back to Papua since, which makes me quite sad. Your video, however, captured the spirit of the place and my memory of it so nicely. And without all the clichéd nonsense. It was as welcome a surprise, as fresh a breath of air as finding those hidden homestays. And that’s really the word for a travel video like this: refreshing. No glam. You let the place do the talking for itself, rather than a bunch of clichés. If there was ever to be a new trend to supplant the current one, I hope videos like this are what it’s modeled after. Honesty, simplicity, and letting the place itself do the talking. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure and bringing back so many wonderful memories!

Beautiful. So sad that the projected world population is going to be almost 10 billion by 2050 and we can't seem to get our pollution and over crowding under control with 7.8 billion right now. I hope by 2050 there are still beautiful places to visit. Hopefully even more than there are now if we can restore some of the places we have ruined. And of course that people can afford to travel in eco friendly ways.

[@sefritz8715]

Where is that Jellyfish lake you went to? Is it near Gam? Thanks for your nice video!

[@timzeven]

It is somewhere in Gam Bay. But you will need a guide to find it :)

[@seraphicchic8829]

We went there last year. It reminds me so much of Coron, El Nido, Tubbataha, and some sandbars in Balabac in Palawan, and also the limestones and stingless jellyfish of Sohoton Cove in Siargao when we were in the Philippines!💗 It's amazing how this part of the world has the same geographical formations. Planning to travel around Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam again this year :)

Why not come to indonesia as a foreigners i suggest you to come to this country... There is no single country on earth that can match the biodiverse lifes here

[@seraphicchic8829]

@Nisscha Rostislav As I said, I already visited that place and other places in Indonesia though some of them are very far apart. It's part of the Coral Triangle but it's not the center. The Philippines actually is the center of the Coral Triangle. We scuba-dived in Tubbataha and I can say that Phillippines really is the center of the Coral Triangle.

The manta ray is a huge powerful animal with the tail as long as its body, the sting at the tip of the tail is a deadly weapon against any living creature swimming right above it, I remember a famous snake catcher from Australia was killed by its sting many many years ago.

[@timzeven]

Thanks! We stayed in february. I did have a dive light, but only used it at night. Mantapoint is in between Arborek and Mansuar, not that far from Methos. The sea is pretty calm in the morning. I used a gopro on my drone and underwater.

We stayed on Gam (and travelled from there), but there are many more beautiful islands. We chose this island because it was near a lot of the places we wanted to see. You can check out the website StayRajaAmpat for information about all the main islands.
