Exploring Belitung Island and Meeting the Locals

Last week we shared our trip to Belitung Island and where to stay. In this vlog we're exploring Belitung Island and meeting some locals along the way! During this incredible roadtrip we discovered an empty beach, the most amazing hike with the best view of the island, and even got to try some local Belitung cuisine. Join us on this roadtrip as we discover what there is to see and do on Belitung Island.

This was one of my favorite days in Belitung as we got to really interact with the locals during this day! We love to explore places on our own and get lost along the way, which is exactly what we did when we tried to find Batu Baginde 😅

[@sfscarjumper8424]

Go to semarang please

[@Galvadorians]

Go to Bogor pls and go to ttm and there is a gate go inside it walk straight or Drive and turn right and if you see a store thats my house

[@rubyartamaya2871]

Come here dany to my island, belitung 🤭

[@noefvon]

Hey dany u can try another 17000 islands in indonesia wkwkwk

[@ekapratama147]

I am very impressed with 3 of you guys who can find penyabong beach and baginda rock without a local guide. Missing the moment when we jumped from that giant rock on that penyabong beach.

[@alexandwhite]

haha yes we love exploring on our own! but finding baginda rock was difficult

[@RhettandClaire]

This was suuuuuch a fun day!😭😁👏🏻. TAKE US BACK!🙏🏻

[@alexandwhite]

totally agree what an incredible day exploring the island 😁

[@LaLA-dw5fw]

Rhett and Claire...where is your video?

[@NomadShifu]

Belitung Island has become a new favorite island-themed holiday destination among tourists located south-east off the larger island of Sumatra. With its impeccable pristine beaches, blue waters, and natural granite rock structures, its hard not to linger on its beauty.

[@alexandwhite]

its absolutely a must visit destination!

[@Michael9-23-15]

Some people just exist in their lives, and some people are truly living. You're definitely living.

[@alexandwhite]

haha thanks so much Michael! Deff enjoying my time in indonesia!

[@pisaukaratan]

Finally, Belitung gets the spotlight it deserves. Thank you! For others, come visit before it’s spoiled by hyper-commercialism!

[@alexandwhite]

Agreed, its a must visit. I couldn't believe how amazing it was!

[@belitungislanddotcombic]

Yeey, thank you.. thank you... thank you for such an honest and positive impression to people of Belitung. We are indeed very welcome to every visitor coming to our island. Everyone please come and make video in Belitung ... 🙏

[@alexandwhite]

[@JoeClement]

You're definitely the reason that I now have Belitung on my Indonesia bucket list! The climb up that rock looked incredible!

[@alexandwhite]

thanks so much Joe! Glad you've added it to your list, completely agree its a must visit. But wait til the island hopping video haha gonna blow you away

[@jasson7423]

wow, your channel grow so fast, the video quality and your public speaking are increasing super fast. nice job man

[@alexandwhite]

thanks so much Jasson! 😁

[@RustamEffendie]

Thank you Alexander, it's amazing. I wish the weather more friendly for more drone shots. There are some more destinations in South Belitung areas such as: The Mashur Beach, Linsum Kawai waterfall, Gunung Kubing and to experience genuine local culture you can spend more time or may be staying overnight at Seliu island, just cross Teluk Gembira beach (see video about Seliu island on Belitung Island channel). So, you must come back ... haha.

[@alexandwhite]

coming back to the island is deff a thought of mine haha we didn't spend enough and would of loved for better weather at times

[@RustamEffendie]

@@alexandwhite please let me know, so you can plan the trip even better next time. We can arrange more cultural aspects of Belitung society that never been exposed before and more nice destinations and foods of course 😉

[@irynawhite3571]

10:04 OMG, I was worried how you all will get back from that big rock? I thought they would have to send a helicopter to take you all down. The view was incredible! I really enjoyed to see 3 of you back in Bali, traveling together again.

[@alexandwhite]

hahah i wish we had a helicopter, that would of been fun!

[@abiyobiyo]

One thing that i love from your video is, you never complain about luxury things,and enjoy the locals food and main attraction around. I kinda get bored when seeing other traveler tell us about bali,lombok,jakarta,bromo,complain about facility lackibg this and that. As im local i find very profound reason why travelling can be fun is to enjoy every moment. Btw have you see the movie called into the wild?

[@alexandwhite]

thanks so much Abiyobiyo! Haha yes we enjoy living like local, and every now and then do something luxury 😊but no I haven't seen into the wild, will check it out next!

Thanks so much Ronaldo! Yeah i try to see most spots that tourists dont get to see

[@indecesiveman5539]

I recommend you to go to Dieng Plateau in central java if you love cool weather, it can also be a little escape from Indonesian heat, the temp usually around 5°C in the morning to 15°C in the daytime but be prepared as it can get below freezing (even -11°C couple years ago) during this time of the year

[@multikerokero]

I'm proud to be a Belitung person

[@alexandwhite]

It’s a beautiful place! Cantikkk 😃👍🏼

[@ilhamrj2599]

THat rock is awesome, I never know that rock is actually that big ... If you used to Jakarta and Bali prices, the other part of Indonesia especially Belitung is very very cheap though, not only for foreign tourists, even for domestic travellers. Please bear in mind that Unlike Bali, Lombok, and Labuan Bajo.... Belitung is actually 'designed' to cater for local Indonesian tourist especially Jakartans who loves short flight get away trip. Belitung is one of the cheapest and the most affordable ones. THat 'green' stuff you ate at the restaurant, is a traditional desert in Sumatra. I think it is common dessert in SUmatra, it is hard to find in Java though.

[@riegelvega.8880]

Ofc, with only $10 (average Rp 140k), you can survive in Belitung for 1 week

[@alexandwhite]

yeah there weren't many foreign tourists there so it was very affordable everything being local price

[@catatankakichoky7707]

Don't worry, in Belitung the price is same for local and foreigner.

[@alexandwhite]

yes it seems that way!

[@ferdinawelliana6074]
