Piaynemo Islands

Piaynemo Islands are a cluster of small karst limestone islets in the Fam Islands group of Raja Ampat, Southwest Papua, Indonesia. Famous for the iconic Piaynemo viewpoint reached by a steep stair climb, the islands offer panoramic views of turquoise lagoons dotted with forested karst formations. Part of the Raja Ampat Marine Park and Geopark, the area is noted for clear waters, coral reefs, and dramatic karst landscapes that attract sightseeing and photography visitors.

Visitors arrive by speedboat from Waisai and dock at a jetty, then climb approximately 320 wooden steps to the fenced Piaynemo viewpoint for panoramic views of the star-shaped lagoon and scattered karst islets. At sea level, visitors can see turquoise clear water, small beaches, limestone cliffs, and coral areas for snorkeling. The site is uninhabited with minimal development, focused on sightseeing, photography, and short boat-based exploration of surrounding islets.
