Indonesia - Raja Cascades on Morotai Island

The Raja River on the island of Morotai has 7 small cascades and pools, 2 of which can be visited from the principal town of Daruba on a fun, day-tour of about 11/2 hour's drive, and 1 to 11/2 hour hike one way. Along the road we viist several interesting communities, a monument to Nakamura (a WWII soldier who escaped into the jungle here and was found still hiding from the Allies 30 yrs later). We cross "treacherous" log bridges and hike up the clear Raja River to plunge and swim in the refreshing pristine pools. Filmed in September 2012. Thanks to the Tourism and Culture Office in Daruba for providing transportation, picnic lunch, intrepid drivers and guides.
