Details

Yefnabi Mkun Homestay is located on the tiny, remote island known as Yefnabi Mkun / Yefnabi Kecil.

Two private bungalows lie in the shade of the island’s casuarina trees.

The bungalows sleep two on a mattress on the floor. Bedding includes sheets, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets. Power outlets are provided, and the bungalow verandahs have table and chair settings.

Meals at Yefnabi Mkun Homestay are served in a sand-floored dining room.  Drinking water, tea and coffee making supplies are always freely available there.

Guests share a 2 room bathroom building. A squat toilet is provided in one room and bucket bathing is available in the other.

Electricity is provided by generator and is available from sunset to about midnight. A weak 4G phone signal is received at Yefnabi kecil: You should expect to be offline while at the island.

Meos Manggara village is about a thirty minute boat ride away. Basic supplies are available from village kiosks there.

Very little English is spoken at Yefnabi Mkun Homestay Homestay. Bringing a translation app or phrasebook is recommended.

To avoid contributing to the trashing of paradise, all homestays ask that you please take all your inorganic (especially plastic) waste away with you when you leave.

Transport / Getting there

A one way transfer between Yefnabi Mkun Homestay and Waisai costs IDR 2,500,000

Transport is by longboat that can carry four passengers. Trip cost is shared by passengers.

Reaching West Waigeo is not cheap, but the remote region’s unique attractions and wild nature justify the expense. You’ll also see a lot of Raja Ampat on the way, including Kabui Bay and the famed Kabui Passage.

Activities

Yefnabi Mkun Homestay can provide any sightseeing and snorkelling trips you want to do.

West Waigeo’s reefs are rich and rarely visited by day tripping boats from Sorong and Waisai. Fabulous snorkelling is available in the area and it’s most likely that you will be the only people in the water. Mantas congregate at Pulau Yefnabi and several other locations in the West Waigeo Islands. They can even be found there between June and September, when they are usually absent from the better known Dampier Strait sites of Manta Point and Manta Sandy.

Apart from the excellent snorkelling and mantas, the West Waigeo Islands offer sights like “Pasir Timbul” – a stretch of pristine white sand that emerges from the ocean with every low tide. A visit to Aljui Bay is highly recommended, and provides the opportunity to see ancient rock art galleries, a large commercial pearl farm, secret lagoons, cultural sites and spectacular scenery.
