Sorong, Indonesia Cruise Port

• With diving one of the most popular activities in the islands as a whole, you'll find a number of dive shops that can rent you equipment and provide chartered excursions. Whether you're looking for just a couple of hours or several days, you'll get a chance to see mantas, sharks, coral, and much more.
   
• Stay on the island and spend the day at Tanjung Kasuari Beach. While nothing too fancy, there's a nice stretch of sand for sunbathing and swimming, trees for shade, and excellent waves for surfing.
   
• The Chinese Buddhist Sapta Ratna Pagoda is not only artistic; it provides great views from its hilltop location. Look for the temple and Buddha statue nearby, and climb the seven floors to the top (if it's open) to catch a magnificent sunset.
   
• Exploring the Raja Ampat Islands is a popular side-trip from Sorong. A favorite among tourists for diving and snorkeling, there are also many other opportunities on land, such as villages to visit, hiking trails to see the waterfalls, tours of bat caves (not the Gotham kind), and birdwatching expeditions.
