From the capital of Asmat, Agats, Sawa Erma District can be reached in about two hours away by speed boat ride. A few minutes tense atmosphere as it passes through the estuary with the waves continued to billow, not long afterwards when the speed boat with the pace towards the river flows the way back to normal. The rivers in this district similar to the color of milk chocolate "as wide as the ocean", even a world-class swimming champion will not be able to cross the river bank to the other bank of the river safely. In the two banks of the river is a verdant mangrove forests and extend as far as the eye can see. Occasionally appear speed boat or long boat speeding from the opposite direction, the passengers waved to each other. On top of a flock of birds seemed to fly from one point to get to another point.

The wind is so strong, to maintain the security of each passenger should wear a hat and a mask and do not forget the buoy to avoid unwanted incidents.
