Lost islands of Indonesia - Labengki & Sombori islands
far away from popular Bali are the Lost Islands of Indonesia with Paradise beaches hidden caves and huge Cliffs this secret set of islands rival Thailand and the Philippines but remain largely Untouched by tourism over the next couple of days we will show you what it's really like in remote Indonesia right now we are in Kendari which is like a small little city in the southeast of Sulawesi and The Adventure Starts Today doesn't it yeah we put this experience on get your guide and a driver should be here any minute to pick us up yeah okay so first up we have a 40-minute journey to get to the port and then from there we'll be heading to these hidden Islands I have just seen the sea ahead so hopefully that means we are coming up to the port this is not a big busy Port like you find in Bali we're just going down this little like dirt track with big puddles in the floor this is a bumpy this is a really bumpy road here we go so I think this is our boat for the next few days which going to be be touring these islands oh look at this we've got loads of room oh this is cool private boat this is so cool oh bit wobbly this experience is actually a private tour so we've got this whole boat and these whole few days just to ourselves obviously we might see some tourists along the way but I don't think it's going to be that busy compared to you know the other islands in Indonesia which are a lot more touristy we are really remote right now whenever we visited non-touristy Islands the boat is always super loud that's just how it is but it's all part of the experience we have a 2 hour journey to get to Leni Island which is our first island we're going to be visiting here we go so I think we can see the islands we're heading to First it looks like some mountainous Island it looks incredible it looks like Hawaii yeah look at it like right now it is covered in the clouds but it looks pretty special so I think this journey is definitely going to be longer than 2 hours because we are still so far away from leeni Island but we have a little bit of a problem because there is some big gray clouds ahead of us where we are heading so hopefully we don't get stuck in a storm cuz that would not be ideal feel like I've still got ringing in my ears from how loud that boat is but I think we've just arrived somewhere I'm not sure what we're doing it looks like a local Little Village yeah I think a local Town see Hello nice to meet you yeah yeah Joel perfect so this is Labengki Island La small uh Lai yeah so we have just checked in to our little home stay where we're going to be staying for the next two nights here on these Lost Islands of Labengki and Sombori so this is our little Homestead we've got a little mattress on the floor which is actually pretty big and it's Chelsea which is actually my team my football team so that's pretty nice it's almost they knew I was coming close our door to our room and let's start the adventure so this afternoon we're going to be exploring the island of Leni which is the Big Island over there which was covered in rain but luckily it is not raining now so this is the village we're staying in our guest house is just that one that's where our room is and this whole village is actually a Bajau village so all the people here are Bajau and if you don't know that's like the sea Gypsy tribe who are like can hold their breath really well and they like fish and stuff so that's pretty cool that we're staying amongst um these people one two you're going to my cave oh so we go inside there that little hole oh well done a graceful than you yeah I just scratched in the water it's like we're going into like a little mermaid pool or something isn't it yeah it's like the H2O moon pool okay let's go through this cave then you can kind of see loads of water washing out cuz apparently you can only come into this cave when it's low tide because otherwise it's covered in water wow we really going to have to crouch down here it goes so low yeah you definitely want to mind your head look wao your head you okay yeah good it's so peaceful in here as well isn't it yeah it's gone really quiet well you can start to see the opening over there oh wow this is our guide yayat he's showing us this little secret Lagoon he's going to be taking us around for the next couple of days but obviously we can't stay too long because we don't want to get trapped When the tide goes up oh wow no way this is incredible how is this even real right I think it's time we go in it's a little bit Sandy here but back there was really sharp on the feet but oh here she goes oh into the lake let's see if we can see anything it's so cool cuz this is just the first stop of the many spots we're going to be visiting over the next couple of days I don't know about you but coming through that little cave it's probably one of the coolest spots I've been to just because it's so secretive anyway we're going to have to head back through the cave now and go onto our next spot it's hard walking in flip-flops through water I feel like my feet get suck down it was short but it was very nice wasn't it love you bye back through the cave we go and luckily the water's not got any deeper so we're all right right now it's hard to believe that all this goes underwater sometimes so we've just come into this like Lagoon little area and it's like super flat around here and I think we're going on to a little pier or something also reminds me of cck in Thailand like the amount of Green Jungle everywhere it's so remote and like raw I love it yeah same I kind of feel like we're going to see some monkeys that kind of appear in the trees there we go all right let's go to the view we've got to climb up because it is so low the water this is the cool thing about Indonesia because there are so many islands there is just so much to explore and there's just hardly many tourists off like you know the main islands barley Java and all that W this is pretty pretty cool this reminds me when I was in China walking along that plank walk just a little bit safer but you don't have a harness on at this point oh wow that's so beautiful look at that so peaceful at all these spots I I can't even explain I think it's all the trees like muffles and like makes everything really peaceful yeah you can't even hear the waves at all so this Lagoon is actually like 50 % fresh water and 50% Sal water so when it rains which it has been doing like earlier and last couple of days apparently it fills up more with fresh water and so that's why it's looking like this Milky color but when we tried to go in it was pretty cold so we're probably going to swim in the sea probably a little bit warmer oh I didn't even look back when we came here look at this it looks so beautiful he's going to show us how to get the boat because it's about 2 m down it looks really scary because you can't can't see anything it just drops off but you can literally just walk down here okay easy stuff y it's a little bit um sketchy it's all right there you go oh thank you yeah like a pro [Music] we have just arrived at the beach this is our first lanki Beach and it literally looks perfect like the palm trees look planted they're so lined up it doesn't even look real does it wow look at this land Hoy this looks like the type of beach when you look up Tropical Paradise Beach this is what comes up it is so in the Indonesian name is Long Sandy Beach and it's exactly that this could be the mold mes as we always say but it could be no it couldn't be the males cuz there's rocks everywhere there nothing like the males we've done a great job of actually avoiding most of the rain we've literally had a little bit and it looked so stormy earlier so good on us bit of luck on our side look at this beach around me it's so beautiful and the sand is like super white I also keep seeing these super unique shell I've never seen ones like these before but I'm guessing that this is actually a dried up piece of coral apparently they've had a lot of coral bleaching here which is very sad because it's such a beautiful untouched place but still global warming it's happening oh I have just seen something very exciting I have seen our guide approaching with two coconuts I'm really hoping those for us otherwise he's he's been greeding he having two to himself but yeah love coconuts thank you very much you just cut them down yes from my friend from the tree uh my friend's climbing you CL just now yeah wow as fresh as possible thank you thank you it's good good coconut and next Sali got our coconuts cheers you don't need straws you just just need a coconut no plastic was here oh God this camera and the coconut are really heavy so another boat has just arrived but apparently that's quite unusual cuz he says like normally there's you get like tourists but maybe every few days you never really have many at the same time like if this was barley this would be absolutely packed we were just enjoying a beautiful little afternoon in on the beach and now it sted to rain so we're going to head back go back to our guest house and get ready for our big day tomorrow the boat Journey Back was actually pretty crazy I can't believe how quickly it changed cuz most of the day it's been really calm Waters we've now showered had dinner and we're going to get ready for bed because tomorrow we have a big day ahead of us where we're going to be going to many different spots but in another set of islands to sori islands and these islands are supposed to be like the best ones we're going to turn the lights off and we're going to go to bed but we will see you bright and early tomorrow morning good morning from Lai Island well the small laveni island this is the village that we are staying in full of about a 100 families and we're just going to head across the island today which is about a 5 minute walk and show you one of the beaches here look at this even in a super un touristy area they still have the big lanki island like they do in Hollywood or where else do they have these signs pretty much everywhere in Asia it's like the Hollywood Hills but every Asian kind of hotspot not Hotpot but tourist attraction has signs like this so you can get a good old photo oh yeah you got to you got to get the sign photo perfect lovely thank you we've just seen this Lighthouse over on that hill and it'd be kind of cool to go up it I'm not sure if we can yeah let's try and head up here then we've just arrived at the beach across the other side of the island look at this it's a bit choppy this morning yeah hope it's not like that on the boat right there's a staircase let's go up and see what we can see here we are oh I'm not sure if we can get in there it looks a little bit batter it looks a little bit derel H should we have a look inside big old Lighthouse see if we can have a look in so as you can see those stairs kind of stop and are pretty much broken so I think that's a no going in there really it does kind of look like they blocked it off and then someone like smashed through it so probably shouldn't go in there let's have a little sit down and I want to have a little chat with you guys about something these islands are so remote and un touristy and you might be wondering how on Earth did we find

probably have some [Music] breakfast right guys it is now time to get on our boat and head to the islands of sori which is about an hour away I think and these islands are supposed to be even more beautiful it is cloudy right now but hopefully we get some sun a little bit later you excited for today yeah I'm hoping it's not too choppy like last [Music] night we have just reached the somori islands so this is another set of islands I think in the central part of sui so it's a whole different like Regency but this apparently is one of the most famous most popular spots in the area oh look at this climb we have to do yeah it's a bit steep watch out the path has kind of broken a little bit probably from the sea but give it a good go so the journey here took probably about an hour and a half and it is pretty choppy today like it was yesterday evening so I'm hoping on the way back it's not going to be as bad because again we kind of got to go against the waves I think we're nearly at the top this walk is literally like a couple of minutes straight up wow this looks incredible the sun's not even out and it still looks so blue oh wow look this literally looks like the Philippines yeah or the classic rajer anat yeah the rer anat I think I've seen online this is called like mini rer anat is it yeah yeah I've seen like a thing people call it Mini rajer [Music] we've only been up here 5 minutes I managed to just fly the Drone because it's beautiful but as you can tell the rain started to come in so unfortunately we're going to have to go back I think we're going to a spot over there which is a little bit more protected let's try and get back to the boat before it starts pouring with rain be careful it's a little bit slippery here as well yeah the sun has come out just in time for us to go inside of a cave here we are go Berlin save our nature telum cell I don't have a Telcom cell Sim so we don't actually have much data here well we don't have any data here so get Telcom cell if you want data when you come to Le Binky and some bori little tip for you oh wow look at this this is cool any bats in here or any animals no anyal oh bat yeah yeah b b in here any spiders Amia like spiders no I don't I hate spiders I almost feel like I can see faces in like the ston you know what I mean like the stalagmites has like little eyes and mouths do you know what I mean oh oh yeah maybe so all in the ground on this cave they've got all these shells so I'm guessing the water level used to be like maybe 10 20 M deeper and that's that's why all these shells have just deposited here but it kind of just looks like a shell graveyard with just all these things on the ground almost like just Skull and Bones everywhere it is amazing we're visiting all these spots and we're like the only ones here like I think we've seen one over boat yesterday when they were on the beach but apart from that there's been no one here back down we go I think we're going to be heading to another spot and probably having lunch cuz I'm pretty hungry now we've had a busy morning we have just arrived at the next spot and I actually can't believe this I didn't even know we were coming here um and luckily because it is low tide that's the reason we can come here but look at this we have this beautiful sandar in the middle of this like lagoon area with like massive Cliffs everywhere that look like Thailand I've never seen anything like this like a sandbank in the middle of these rocks and I haven't seen any photos online of this no but I think we have been super lucky even though the weather's not been on our side The Tide Is and so we can see this beautiful [Music] [ __ ] mil is just like I don't know what are you doing on the floor there I could lie here forever it's so peaceful just taking it in right yeah just leave me here this is my new home this is so cool so at this end of the beach there are like loads of starfish hundreds but they're all trying to like move back into the sea to like stay with the ti so they don't get washed up on the beach and you can see them moving I don't know about you but I've never seen a starfish like move itself before but it's quite cool to watch and then also they keep leaving like starish shaped holes and so you just have these little marks of where the starfish were it's cool so we have just got our lunch we have some fish which is probably caught around here with some vegetables I think it's like potato and then some Rices well but it's pretty good and to be in this remote location and have some good food not bad if you ask me this is our view for lunchtime pretty good what did you just do though I just fell on a rock on my foot really so Amelia definitely wasn't overreacting this is her foot we have cleaned it we've put some iodine in it how are you feeling it stings a bit feels a bit bruised up maybe a little swollen but we're all good enjoying my fish and rice oopsie so our guide has just informed us that we're not going to be able to go to the next spot which is actually a cave I think which you can swim in um because it is so choppy and like the waves quite big um yeah we're not going to be able to go it's not going to be safe unfortunately this is our last stop on this boat trip but what a way to end it I think this has to be one of my favorite spots on the trip obviously the ret andap Viewpoint we went to yesterday and the beach we ended the day with yesterday was beautiful but I mean this spot I've just never seen it online or anything like a random Sandbar in these beautiful mountains it feels so unique like if this was in Thailand or the Philippines it would be so so packed so packed even in barley obviously it would be so packed but here it is empty anyway guys unfortunately that is the end of the video and again if you do want to do this beautiful tour then you can and I'll leave a link to the get your guide um link down in the description thank you so much for watching And subscribe for more Indonesian videos where we're going to be exploring this beautiful country see you
