INDONESIA'S SECRET PARADISE - MARATUA ISLAND 🇮🇩

[@kasurtipis2439]

as an Indonesia, i haven't had time to explore Indonesia yet. thank you for explore and showing us, how beautiful Indonesia

[@multatuli1]

​@ahnonymuz9921because most of those places is far from human civilization and most people doesn't know how to reach them, only Bali is expensive for the locals.

[@sanctuaryaddict]

@ahnonymuz9921 as an islands country it's pretty hard for us to travel around the country it a bit expensive bc we've to take an airplane

[@antonboludo8886]

And in many other countries. @ahnonymuz9921

[@antonboludo8886]

That is right, but at the same time PH, Indonesia and Thailand think that all of the tourists are rich, which they are NOT. First lesson for all 3 countries : DO NOT MAKE SO MANY BABIES! @ahnonymuz9921

Indonesia is a small paradise that holds many natural wonders, unique culture, friendly people and the country with the most islands. Apart from that, Indonesia is the power of Southeast Asia in terms of economics, trade and military. thank you for coming to our land

[@TravelbyDartTV]

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.

[@rafiileo9307]

Welcome to our beautiful country friends, enjoy each of our beautiful countries, especially the islands of Bali, Lombok, Padar Island, Sumba, and others, enjoy in Indonesia guys 👍🇮🇩🙏🙏

Indonesia has a lot more than Bali! I hope you guys can explore other places in Indonesia, like Bukit Lawang where you can see wild and semi-wild Sumatran orangutans, or visit Raja Ampat where you can see an underwater paradise with diverse marine life or sailing to Komodo island to see komodo dragon and many more.

[@Joelfriend]

We have a couple more videos on super remote islands in Indonesia, sharing beautiful parts of the country which many haven’t seen! Thanks for watching 😄🙌🏼

[@HambaAllah-kb5it]

​@@Joelfriend terimakasih telah mempromosikan keindahan alam Indonesia.

[@bonismo78]

As KZbinr from Denmark @Kristian Hansen said, Maratua is a truly beautiful place and is rarely visited by foreign tourists... You are great to be there, thank you for introducing tourist attractions in Indonesia...I'll watching your video always, stay save and healthy guys🙏🇮🇩❤️ 

[@BonanzaRoad]

Those islands are straight out of a fantasy. Insanely beautiful places. I love how you guys continue to find the most obscure places to explore…places that most of us have never even heard of, but now want to visit. You are always fun, entertaining and informative. Each of your videos is a gem.

[@kilantravels]

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!

[@RMChannel21]

Thank you for coming to Indonesia, beautiful nature, white sand beaches and beautiful islands, friendly people

not to be conceited bt indeed indonesia is the most beautiful country,,...... esp its nature and land, no wonder it rates as most beautiful land country, also most produce of chocolate,coco,nutmeg etc btw hp you guys enjoy your time here, we indonesian love foreigners to visit our beloved country and always come here and enjoy it

You said you don’t know why there’s more people there, as an Indonesian, I didn’t even know this island before I watch this video. Will definitely travel there

[@rio....5912]

Just consider both of you one of the lucky people in the world to experience this, many people like us as Indonesian don't even know that there's a place like this that exists in our country. So yeah, thank you for giving us some tips throughout your journey, take care and be safe!

Hey guys, Love the video and your spirit to discover the “unknown”! 🗺 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. Could you please share the details how a simple man like myself could book a flight to this beautiful island 🏝, also did you take a different route leaving the island, cheers? 🤙

I think the nearest airport is to Tarakan Airport but I don't know if the flight is available from Malaysia. The biggest cities around Tarakan are Samarinda and Balikpapan. Maybe you can take connecting flight to Tarakan from there.
