Stay Raja Ampat Homestay Association
About This Program
A community-led network of homestays reinvesting profits in conservation, waste education, and direct support for local families.
Purpose Activities
Many homestays clean their beaches daily and welcome guests and travelers to help collect washed up plastic and debris. Nearly all cleanup efforts are led and joined by locals working at the homestays.
If you want to help, just let your local host know—your help is always appreciated.
How to Join:
Simply arrive at your homestay and ask to join the cleanup.
- Ask your host or homestay staff when they do the daily cleanup.
- Join the team at the scheduled time or whenever cleaning is happening.
- Collect beach and shoreline debris, and follow homestay guidance for safe disposal.
Additional Offerings
Fun Diving
Homestays connect you with local guides and nearby village dive operators for exploration of pristine reefs and nearby island dive sites, often on a request basis.
Training Courses
Some homestays cooperate with local dive guides for basic courses or snorkel skills, but professional certifications must be arranged separately at dedicated dive shops.
Accommodation
Simple, family-run beach bungalows and homestays—often right on the sand—supported by a network that directly benefits local Papuan families.
