Pristine coral reefs bordering white sand beaches and magical rainforest – it’s hard to get better than the remote Kwatisore Peninsula. Located deep within Cenderwasih Bay National Park, this oasis is connected to mainland New Guinea by only a thin ribbon of land. The rainforests here hold an abundance of birds (including several species of bird-of-paradise), but it is the incredible marine life that provides the star attraction. This is one of the best places to swim with world’s largest fish: the Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus).
