    Wow! It felt like it's the kind of tropical paradise where 'snorkeling' is the unofficial morning ritual, and 'palm trees' provide better shade than any sunglasses could. And for some reason, it felt like Maratua Island is the perfect blend of 'seaside serenity meets wildlife antics'! I only visited places like Bali in Indonesia so it's pretty refreshing. Hopefully, my travel dart would land on Indonesia again and try some kind of off-the-beaten path.

  • @kilantravels
    @kilantravels ปีที่แล้ว +55

    Thank you for visiting Maratua, but actually the islands are part of East Kalimantan, not North Kalimantan. These are two different provinces of Indonesia on the island of Borneo, just like Sabah and Sarawak are two different states in Malaysia.
    But I understand the confusion, because Nunukan and Tarakan which were your jumping off points are parts of North Kalimantan. But Berau is a part of East Kalimantan 😅 What can I say, they’re neighboring provinces located right next to each other. North Kalimantan is almost as big as Sabah, while East Kalimantan is much bigger compared to Sabah or North Kalimantan.
    Hope you enjoyed your stay in Indonesia, cheers!

    Not many tourists because it is hard to reach as you found out. We visited in 2017 by private yacht, and the air port was being built at the time. We were worried the tourists would spoil the island. Obviously the pandemic slowed that down, but now there should be more tourists. We anchored near Nabucco Island and visited the Nabucco Dive Resort where they prepared a beautiful meal for the visitors from the yachts. We had some wonderful diving and snorkelling in the channel entrance near there. It is a very special place (better than Raja Ampat), and we hope that it does not get spoilt with too many tourists.

    You inspired us to do every part of this video and started researching but struggling a lot with the transfer to and from the island. We’d prefer the plane option as you did ✈️ opposed to the speedboat option that some others chose but cannot find anything online at all.

    Thank you Joel, you have promoted our place. Maybe if you want to come back to our place, Maratua dive center, we will give you a special price😊

      It was great place to stay! It would be great if staff were a little more helpful with non-divers offering tours to the sandbars and island if you are not into diving! :)

    Astonishingly beautiful! Maratua I dream of you! After Banyuwangi, I plan to visit Maratua Island....and plan to keep it a secret for as long as I can 😂.

    Great video! Looks amazing- worth the long travel and slightly scary plane journey! 🤣 Love it how you go off the beaten track. We hope to do this in the future but just finding our feet in the more popular places for now. cant wait to see the next one :)

    • @Joelfriend
      @Joelfriend  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For sure, it’s good to do more popular places as well, I mean they are popular for a reason right? Ahaha thanks for watching 🙏🏼

    Enjoy the panorama and natural beauty of INDONESIA 🇮🇩 there are still many places you have to go to see the natural beauty of Indonesia, such as Bali, Lombok, Java, Raja Ampat and others. Before you were born, there was a motto for Europeans. DON'T DIE BEFORE SEEING/COMING TO BALI ISLAND.
    (If you don't believe it, ask your grandparents)

    The shot at 9:41 of you jumping in is amazing. You can actually see the surface tension breaking (even moreso if you slow it down!)

    I'm looking forward to going there, early this year, starting from Tarakan to enjoy the seafood, Tanjung Selor and Berau to enjoy the sultanate culture, then ending up in Derawan, Maratua, Kakaban and Sangalaki. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
