Discovery tour Manokwari and surroundings

Pasar Wosi

 West Papua's capital is located at a splendid bay. Manokwari, ‘old village' in local language Numforese, is better known as the ‘fruit city'. Its people (population 130.000) live predominantly of the trade in fish, timber and fruit. The exquisite nature of Manokwari's direct surroundings and the proximity of the Arfak mountains, the Anggi lakes and the Kebar valley, have made Manokwari the ideal destination for nature lovers and adventurers. Divers and snorkelers will appreciate the surrounding clear blue waters of the Pacific and will also be impressed by the Leman and Mansinam islands that are only a short distance away.

Gunung Meja (Table mountain) and the Meja nature reserve (500 ha of forest area) can be found North of Manokwari. From here the view of the Manokwari Bay is stunning. On the top of Gunung Meja you can also find a Japanese war memorial site, in memory of the lives that were lost here during World War II.
