Snabba fakta: These islands have no motorized vehicles, so transportation happens via bicycles and horse-drawn carts. The surrounding waters host over 40 species of coral and sea turtles often swim close to shore.
Höjdpunkter: A unique local tradition involves underwater bonfires to clean coral reefs, which helps sustain marine life and offers visitors an unforgettable snorkeling experience. At sunset, bioluminescent plankton light up the waters, creating a natural glowing spectacle rarely seen elsewhere.
Insidertips
- Wear water shoes to protect feet from coral and sea urchins when snorkeling.
- Head south on the islands for quiet beaches away from crowds.
- Avoid visiting during Indonesian holidays to escape large tourist influxes.
- Visit early in the morning to catch the clearest water and best light for photos.
