Mulut Seribu

A maze of waterways formed by many limestone islets and coral reefs on the east side of Rote Island, known as the Raja Ampat of Rote.

Mulut Seribu lies near Papela Harbour at the eastern tip of Rote Island. Between the large and small limestone islets and reefs, countless "mouth"-shaped channels and bays form, with emerald water. You can explore them by small boat, climb up for views, swim, and snorkel. It is listed as one of the key scenic spots in East Nusa Tenggara Province. Tides affect the waterways, so hire a local guide, start in the morning, and return before 3 p.m. The drive from Nemberala takes about 2.5 hours, so plan a full day.
