| Coral Reef in Mansinam Island of Manokwari |
Mansinam is also an important island for Christian pilgrims. It was the site where European missionaries landed on 5 February 1855 to Gospel for the first time to the indigenous Papuan people.
British scientist Alfred Russel Wallace also landed on the island in 1858 when he conducted his research expedition in Dorey bay of Netherlands New Guinea.

What you need to bring:
Most visitors go to Mansinam island for snorkeling. So, I highly recommend that you bring your own snorkeling gear (mask, snorkle, and fins). A good underwater camera is also useful if you want to take pictures of various species of fish that thrive in the coral reef at the front of the guesthouse.
Anti-insect lotion is also needed.
