Enjoy today and feel like you’ve been transported back to a prehistoric time with the traditional pig festival and the war dances of the locals.

The play shows the course of a tribal war between hostile villages.

Not so long ago, even the smallest problem could immediately lead to war.

Women, land grabbing or even pigs could escalate a conflict.

The warriors come together at the dance in full war clothes, with body ornaments, spears and bows and arrows.

After the simulated war is over because one side has given up, there is a celebration.

For the festival, a pig is slaughtered, prepared together and cooked. The Dani cook the meat over hot stones together with sweet potatoes, grass and vegetables and almost without spices. The cooking time takes about 3 hours.

Our recommendation:

Wilson’s Bird of Paradise-Tour (Optional)

Book a unique day tour to the birds of paradise on site:

Wilson’s Bird of Paradise is one of the most fascinating species in Raja Ampat.

Your guide will take you from the resort in 45 minutes to the nesting places of the magically colorful birds, which are only native to Batanta Island in addition to smaller uninhabited Waigeo Islands.

However, this means getting out of bed early.

From 4:30 a.m. onwards, you will drive through dense tropical rainforest and over some cliffs to a small hill and wait there in peace for the main players of the day.

Your experienced guide knows and follows the calls of the birds of paradise, so your chances of spotting at least many males are particularly high.

Each male patrols his own small territory and is constantly in the air.

The females, on the other hand, are more difficult to spot, as their feathers are not as colorfully decorated as those of the males and are usually well camouflaged in the bushes waiting for their admirers and their dance interludes.

After you have had enough time for bird watching, you will head back to the boat, where you will refuel with some snacks, coffee and tea.

In the plantations of the surrounding traditional farmers’ huts, you will have the opportunity to pick and taste cocoa fruits fresh from the tree.

In the afternoon, take the boat back to your resort.
