Map of Ayu Islands, Raja Ampat Regency, West Papua, Indonesia
In older maps these islands appear as the Ajoe Islands, following the Dutch spelling "Ajoe-eilanden".
The beaches of these islands are a breeding ground for the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). The waters off the Ayu Islands are a good snorkeling and scuba diving site.
Administratively the Ayu Islands belong to the Indonesian province of West Papua.
