Sorong – Waigeo Raja Ampat, Birding, Snorkeling and Adventure Trip
The town of Sorong, located on the “beak” of the Bird’s Head
Peninsula in West Papua is the departure point for your visit to the
fabulous Raja Ampat marine park. The word “Sorong” is said to
originate from the local Soreri language meaning “deep and turbulent
seas”. Mountains, hills, lowlands, and protected forests securely
surround the town. As a port, its inhabitants come from multi-ethnic
descent.
Sorong has long been one of the busiest harbors of West Papua, owing
to the oil supplies found in this region since 1932. However, oil
projects have declined significantly today. The productive oil
fields off Sorong were one of the reasons why the former Dutch
colonialists hung on to Irian (former name of Papua) even after the
independence of the Indonesian archipelago. It is not surprising
that the town is multi-cultural.
