Pulau Reni is part of the Raja Ampat regency of the West Papua geographical and administrative region of Indonesia.

Pulau Ayu and Pulau Reni are two other small inhabited islands near Pulau Kanobe.

Access to the island is limited to small boats due to the reefs and the small size of the island.

World War II

Pulau Reni and all the islands in the Ayu Archipelago were occupied by the Japanese Empire during World War II from 1942 until the end of the war in 1945.
