Twin Island Group

Fam Islands — Twin Viewpoints

Mushroom karsts, the Melissa’s Garden snorkel site, and twin-island viewpoints between Piaynemo and the Dampier Strait.

Folio I · In Brief

The Fam Islands sit between Piaynemo and the central Dampier Strait — a group of mushroom-karst islets that offer a gentler version of Wayag’s panoramas and access to one of Raja Ampat’s best gentle snorkel sites.

Two short climbs — about 15 minutes each — deliver near-identical mushroom karst panoramas. The cluster of islets in the foreground photographs at golden hour even better than at midday.

Melissa's Garden

Just off the Fam Islands, Melissa's Garden is consistently rated one of the gentlest and most-rewarding snorkel sites in Raja Ampat — soft and hard coral cover so dense the substrate barely shows through.
