Lampung, Hidden Paradise Travel Destination in Indonesia

Lampung, a province in Indonesia located not so far from the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta, saves a hidden paradise travel destination from the promotion of paradise travel agency. The blue sea, the white sand, and the silence of the small islands became the excellence of tourism in Lampung.

Lampung Province is currently trying to build road infrastructure to facilitate tourists visiting tourist attractions there. As the entrance from the island of Java to the island of Sumatra, Lampung province is very strategic because it is always passed by travelers, both for business and tourism purposes.

Transportation to Lampung

If you are in Jakarta, you can go to Merak Port which will take you by Ferry through Sunda Strait to Bakauheni Harbor, Lampung. If the weather is sunny and friendly, this ferry crossing takes about one and a half hours.

After arriving at Bakauheni Port, you can continue by road trip to Ketapang Harbor, located in Pesawaran district. At Ketapang port, you can then board a motor boat with a capacity of 20 people to get to Pahawang Island. It takes about forty five minutes sea trip to get to Pahawang island.

In the middle of the journey from the Port of Ketapang to Pahawang Island, it would not hurt you to visit the island of Mahitam. The island is about ten minutes from Ketapang Port. When the water is receding, you can actually walk from Ketapang port to Mahitam Island by walking on white sand extending from Ketapang to Mahitam Island forming a white road.

Once satisfied enjoy the beauty Paradise travel of Mahitam island, the next destination is Pahawang Island. Pahawang Island recently became famous as a tourist destination for tourists. This tourist crowded by the people of Pahawang village. Many villagers rent their homes for homestays for tourists who want to stay here.

In the morning, the journey continues towards Wayang island. It is said, this island is said to have the beauty as in Raja Ampat, Papua. The journey to get there takes about forty-five minutes by boat. After arriving at Wayang island, you will be presented a row of towering karst islands such as Raja Ampat.

After that, the journey continues by enjoying the underwater world of Pahawang Island. Snorkeling at Nemo Park, Pahawang Island is a mandatory activity that we can do here. Many other travelers will also do snorkeling here, so you should be more vigilant. Under the water many fish swim around the boat and wait for food thrown by the tourists. Coral reefs that thrive in these waters help to become the habitat of these fish. Therefore, the people around the island always maintain the existence and sustainability of coral reefs here. Some of the terumbukarang here was deliberately made by the surrounding community as a home for clown fish (Nemo). Therefore, the place of snorkeling in this place is called as Nemo Garden, the name for clown fish (Nemo) that live here.

From Pahawang Island, journey then proceed to Teluk Kiluan, which is located in Tanggamus Regency. In this bay, every morning dolphins gather for food. The charm of this dolphin herd becomes a special attraction for tourists. To see the attraction, we must slightly out of the bay that can be reached by using a rigid boat that is rented out locally specifically to see the attractions of dolphins. These dolphins move very quickly to the left and right, even moving down the ship, so you must be alert to be able to see and photograph this herd of dolphins. This dolphin attraction reminds us of similar attractions in Lovina Beach, Bali. If you do not have the opportunity and cost for a holiday to Bali, you can choose this place as a cheaper alternative to see similar attractions.

After the morning we are satisfied to enjoy the dolphins, in the afternoon when we are in Kiluan Bay, we must not miss to visit the Gayau Lagoon. To enter the styled Lagoon, we pay a ticket of five thousand rupiah to the local manager, who will be used to repair the infrastructure to that place.

After buying the tickets, we then walk up the hill to get to Gayau Lagoon. Travel on foot is not in vain. Arriving at the lagoon we will be treated to a pleasant view of the trees and the pounding of the sea waves that are located beside the lagoon. Do not forget to swim in the lagoon which can be considered a natural swimming pool. In the lagoon itself there is an inflammation of small fish swimming. The next trip is to visit Kelapa Island. The island is still very natural because it has not been touched by human hands. You can enjoy the white sand and the beach seemed to have a private island because this place is rarely visited by tourists. That’s why the kelapa island seem like a joyful hidden paradise travel destination you must visit.
