Indonesia has so many interesting places which are very good to spend holiday, such as Bali, Lombok, Jogjakarta, and many more. If there was one foreign visitor that has only one day to spend in Indonesia, I would not take the foreigner to a place that is common and famous, just like Bali and Lombok. He must have often heard or even been to that place often. And nowadays, Bali and Lombok is Bali and Lombok environment already polluted. I prefer to take him to a place that is still very natural, and Raja Ampat is my choice.

Located off the northwest tip of Bird's Head Peninsula on the island of New Guinea, in Indonesia's West Papua province, Raja Ampat, or the Four Kings, is an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands, cays and shoals surrounding the four main islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo, and the smaller island of Kofiau. Raja Ampat is new regency which separated from Sorong regency at 2004. It encompasses more than 40,000 km² of land and sea, which also contains Cenderawasih Bay, the largest marine national park in Indonesia. This is the place to be for the spoiled diver.
According to Conservation International, marine surveys suggest that the marine life diversity in the Raja Ampat area is the highest recorded on Earth and recognized as the richest reefs of the world. There is nowhere else you can see so many species of fish and corals in one dive. That and the fact that Raja Ampat is so remotely located, makes diving here among the best in the world. I bet he will feel at home to be underwater all day. After diving, he can go to a place to rest. There are several boats to live on board through the area, but he can also go to the land based, smack in the middle, Kri Eco Resort or the more expensive and luxurious, Sorido Resort.
I am sure the foreign visitor will be satisfied with his one day in Indonesia and wish to come back here as soon as possible. Raja Ampat is an awesome place to spend holiday. This is a perfect place for the people who want to run away from the city-crowded, traffic jam, etc. The pure air and natural environment will bring back their mood and spirit, and also refresh their body, mind and soul.
