Batu Susun: Stacked Stones of Magei

Batu Susun, located in the Magei area of Raja Ampat, is characterized by dramatic arrangements of jagged rock formations emerging from clear seas — as if nature itself “stacked” these monolithic stones. From a distance, the silhouettes appear as stone towers rising from the ocean floor. These formations serve as landmarks for boat travelers and provide compelling subjects for photography and panorama viewing. Around the bases lie reefs, teeming with marine life, making the surroundings rich for snorkeling or diving. Batu Susun’s visual drama lies in its rugged geometry and how waves and light interact with its surfaces, casting bold shadows and reflections. While not always easily accessible, the reward is a distinctive coastal spectacle seldom seen elsewhere.
