Details

Sea Whip Homestay offers three over-water private bungalows at Pulau Manyaifun.

The bungalows sleep two on a mattress on the floor. Bedding includes sheets, pillows, bolsters and a mosquito net.

Meals are served in an over-water dining shelter. Free drinking water, tea and coffee are supplied.

A two-roomed bathroom building is shared by all guests.The bathroom building has a western-style toilet in one room and bucket bathing in the other.

Electricity is supplied by generator and is available from sunset to around midnight.

Sea Whip Homestay usually receives good 4G signal. A slow data connection id usually possible.

Sea Whip Homestay lies a short walk from Manyaifun village where basic supplies can be purchased. Manyaifun is a remote island though, so consider bringing your favourite snacks and anything else that you can’t do without.

It’s also important to take any inorganic trash (especially plastic and batteries) away with you when you leave: There’s no safe waste disposal on Manyaifun. (See our article about rubbish in Raja Ampat for more info.)

Very little English is spoken at Sea Whip Homestay. If you have no Bahasa Indonesia, then bringing a translation app or phrasebook would be best.

Transport / Getting there

Transport between Sea Whip Homestay and Waisai costs IDR 2,500,000 each way. Trip cost is shared by passengers. The boat used can carry two passengers. (If there are more than two of you, a different boat will be arranged. There may be extra cost.)

It’s a long trip (about 2.5 hours), but you’ll see a lot of Raja Ampat on the way. The route passes through Kabui Bay and Kabui Passage, then past a number of cays with white sand beaches and turquoise waters between Kabui and Manyaifun.

Activities

Sea Whip Homestay can organise any kind of local snorkelling or sightseeing trip you might like to do.

Sea Whip Homestay is a great base for snorkelling, bird watching and hiking. The heights of Manyaifun offer great panoramic views, as do those of the much larger neighbouring island of Batang Pele.

Manyaifun village is a short walk away and provides the chance to experience local village life on a remote island. Ask to see the original bamboo water supply network that still provides water to some village houses, and also to see the fresh water eels that inhabit a small pond in the village stream. It's easy to meet up with guests of other Manyaifun homestays to arrange trips.
