You really made a beautiful video with beautiful images of your trip. Also a big compliment, how everything is made with image and sound. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next videos.

So good man! Love the FPV shots, they really bring something special to the story. Next time I travel with you ;). Looking forward to seeing some bigger sharks soon!!!!!

[@MickyHands]

great photography and editing! very nice to watch. Can I ask, what do you use for underwater photography and lighting?

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you! We had the gopro 7 with us. Couldn't pack any light this time. Tried to fix some clips in post as much as possible. Lost a sim card with all snorkeling and diving in Rufas.

Just another great travel video from you! You're amazing! 😁 What camera did you use underwater? The footage looks amazing! I have a go pro 9 but it doesn't have such good clarity underwater.

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you! It's a GoPro 7. I edit the colors later. Sometimes it works well. Others not. :)

[@tarkawdrodze]

Memories:) i hope soon u will post tiger sharks:)

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Me too!

[@maksumzaifudin5859]

Raja Ampat is the most expensive tourist destination in my opinion, but maybe it will all be worth it with the stunning natural panorama. Hopefully you can also come to Derawan Islands, there are also very beautiful and not many foreigners know about.

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

It was indeed expensive. Mostly to get there. We want to go to Derawan in the future. Probably combine it with a longer trip to include Sulawesi and Seram.

[@yepthatsme170]

I used to go to Crete 2 0r 3 times a year and loved it and nearly moved to live there. But faith led me to Koh Phangan Thailand where I now live with my family it is also very beatiful like Crete but smaller. We are planning a holiday to Jakarta in July/August and you have given me the idea to go to Raja as part of our trip. Thank you for showing this beatiful islands.

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Hope you make it there. You will love it. Crete will always be in your heart i think. :)

[@yepthatsme170]

@@THATGREEKGUY_ I have been to Crete many times. I love it there especially Stalida and Mochos and Chania. I still have a friend in Mochos he owns a hotel someday I will go back for sure.

[@yukiaditya7352]

You definitely need to go to other areas outside Jakarta when you are in Indonesia. 😊

[@yepthatsme170]

@@yukiaditya7352 Give me some tips. Maybe Belitung or high speed train to Bandung?

[@yukiaditya7352]

@@yepthatsme170 depends on what you are looking for. Bandung is for culinary trip. There are some sceneries around there but on the weekend it will be too full by visitors from Jakarta and Malaysia. Belitung is all about beautiful beaches and food. I guess if you want to travel to Sumatera, you need to plan it ahead and not just go to Belitung. Maybe also go to the Orangutan forest, Lake Toba, or beautiful small islands in West Sumatera.

[@cetric26]

Just came across this video while researching for my first Raja Ampat trip. Thanks for sharing your experience. The videography and in particular the drone shots are stunning. I am planning for a 1 week trip. Do you recommend sticking to one island or staying in 2 different islands. Also any island in particular you recommend. I am hoping for boat trips and dive trips. Thanks again

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you for your comment. Depends on how you like to spend your time. If you like to relax most of the time, probably a single island is enough. If you like to see more places and snorkel/dive in different locations, 7 days are good to split into two different homestays. About which island/homestay, you will have to do some investigation. If you want to go to Wayag, staying in Kamar is highly recommended so you avoid a 4 hour (each way) day trip to get there. Kri was good. A lot of people stay on Gam as well. If you like quiet places, make sure you avoid some homestays near villages :)

[@cetric26]

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. I'm going there the end of this month. Now I'm extra excited! Your longboat to Rufas Island, did you prebook? If so, with whom? Thanks

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you! Yes it was arranged in advance, with the homestay. Probably through the middleman i was texting with through whatsapp, to fix the Rufas reservation in the first place.

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

thank you! It's just a Lumix G9 :)

[@adreykful]

Love your video !Do we need to have IDR for all the trip? Approximately how much for organizing trip like this ( only for islands part)? Any places on Raja Ampat we can exchange money ? Thank you!

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you. Yes you need to have IDR in cash. We had big amounts with us. The same with other people we asked. How much? Depends on where you want to stay and what activities (diving, snorkeling, island hopping) you want to do. I don't remember any exchange office. Only ATMs. In Sorong and I think in Waisai port. He had changed all our money in Jakarta airport just to be sure.

[@olektulik2237]

Its so gooood video, great pictures

Great footage! Really enjoyed watching! I've recently returned from the incredible Raja Ampat! Which drone are you using btw?

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

thank you! Only in Rufas i had both. Mini 2 and Avata. But then the mini 2 controller decided to die on me and i had just the avata for the rest of the trip.

Hello. Thank you for the Video. Can you tell us with wich Company die you flight from Vienna and how much does it cost? Do EU citizen need Visa? How is the Internet there? Thank you. Dan and Crisalida

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

We flew with Saudi through Jeddah to Jakarta. It cost about 350 per person round trip. We paid for visa at the airport upon arrival. Internet was good. We got a sim card at the airport. There was good coverage at all places except Kamar.

[@CrisaliDan]

Thank you@@THATGREEKGUY_

[@enidorisvaliente5098]

Hello there Great documentary about your days. I have a questions: what homestays did you booked in Rufas and Kri islands?

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you!. In Kri it was Nus. In Rufas although it seems as if there are two, it was only one. The one i found on Google maps. "Rufas Home Stay".

[@lucagavezzoli9695]

Hi Guys! Wonderfull video!! I would like to know how much is the boat from rufas island to kamar raja. Thank you in advance!!

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you! It's better to contact John to ask for a price. We paid for the whole package (transportation to Kamar and Wayag and for the lodging in Kamar), so not sure how much was just the transfer.

[@saritchuchoi8318]

สวยมาก

[@abdurrozzaq5807]

Dont go raja ampat at rainy season in october to march...not really good for photography...and nice to know ,raja ampat is bigger 50 times than koh phi phi,from north wayag islands to south misool islands...as indonesian,i had gone there 2 years ago...and i think it s so expensive to go there and need much effort....thats why raja ampat is not reall popular and not much known than other destinations...like koh phi phi,coron palawan etc

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

i know but was the only period we could go. Really enjoyed it. :)

[@clementmagat]

Great Video ! with a lot of explication. So how long exactly have you spend from your start at sorong and end at sorong and how much have you spend for this trip ? Thank you !

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Thank you. We were there for 7 nights (2 Rufas, 2 Kamar, 3 Kri). For homestays, transportation in Raja Ampat, diving (4 dives), snorkeling (2 snorkeling trips), we payed about 1400 - 1500 if i remember well.

[@joeychan5773]

Raja 4 is huge and expensive..so make sure ..,what spot you want to go.

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

True. each person has to make some investigation. Decide what he prefers and act accordingly.

[@michelleglennon167]

If you could only pick ONE place to stay for a week, where would it be of the places you went?

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Tough question... Probably would be either Kamar or Kri. Depending on what i wanted. Full isolation and pristine environment, or more people and options around.

[@taniiaines]

Wich tour do you guys recommend?

[@THATGREEKGUY_]

Not sure i could recommend a tour. You would have to chose to which island you want to go and what you like most to do regarding activities.

Hi... Can you please share me the contact for Kamar Raja Homestay? Not the guide.... But the Manager or people in charge of this Homestay. Thanks a lot in advance
