this is Indonesia's viral Lake going crazy on social media with potentially
the clearest water in the world this lake is found in the remote Banggai island in Central
Sulawesi making for a crazy adventure ahead of us and after some research we found out
the lake was just a small part of the whole Banggai region with so many hidden gems but
could this Lake really live up to the hype by the end of the video you can tell me we
booked our flights flew into luck and hopped on a ferry after lots of discussion trying
to find the right guide of what we want to do found a tour guide and basically
a big package to go explore the Banggai islands W look at this this is our little
cabin this is our home for the next 4
hours we have just started our journey towards Salakan it's a little bit windy but we're going
to show you the boat we're actually going to go inside with the captain's cockpit he's just
invited us h media is going to drive the ship Hati-Hati this is scary is that no lots of
photos what a great experience that was so funny only in Indonesia would you be
allowed to drive the boat terrible driver I don't have a [Music] license we have nearly
arrived in Salakan it's been a really nice Journey staying in these like little VIP
C tomorrow morning and the next couple of days are just going to be incredible
I'm so excited ready for the adventure arriving atakan we can say the locals
were fairly excited to see us well they're jumping on it's quite scary hello hello
hello all of indones call for Bule yeah do they they only know bule and it's our day nice to meet
you nice to meet you they are very excited to see the ble apparently they don't see bule much
here this is so crazy well that was an experience I love
it it is way too early right now but we're heading on a 2hour journey for
Sunrise I'm exhausted who needs sleep me I need sleep it's adventure time
it's ridiculous o' clock and we're about to get
on the boat I think it's about 20 minutes to our first spot of the
[Music]
day we have just arrived at Pantau Oyama and this is supposed to be one of the most
beautiful beaches in the whole area how are you feeling this sand is so soft it
makes me want to fall asleep it's like a cloud I know it's still like what is it 5:30 [Music]
5:30 so this beach pantai Oyama is actually a private beach and so the villagers can't
actually come here so this is all for us today which is just amazing just us and our friends
which is like the perfect way to start the day cuz it's only 6:00 a.m. I've never had so
much energy at 6 a.m. in the morning but as it's a beach Amelia is awake let's go for a
[Music]
swim we've been on this beach for a couple of hours and whilst we've been here we haven't
really been doing much apart from building a massive sand castle we are very proud of
it everyone chipped in look at this thing damn look at that it's even got a little hat on the
top we've just landed back on the mainland near where we're staying but we're actually
going to another spot now which is completely different to where we just
went we have just arrived in a Bajau village which is actually also known as a sea Gypsies
and this is where they live they're the ones who can hold their breaths all this time for
like 9 minutes and go under the water and Hunt here we are so the badel people often
live on water that's what they're known for however a lot of them now actually live on
the land but here they've got stilts and they're building their houses over
the water it's currently uh low tide the tide has gone but pry crazy way of living
it's quite an interesting experience cuz they really want to look at us and they're kind
of following us but we're also looking at them and it's just quite a crazy kind of interaction
obviously they don't speak English I'm talking little bits of Bassa Indonesia to try and like
communicate a bit close your eyes hear the voice within call this heavy got under your skin [Music]
wow that was quite an overwhelming experience honestly so many people just came out their
houses just saying hello wanted photos wanted high fives just wanted to talk to us everyone
was so nice and we like actually got to have little conversations I made little friends
we got to know each other's names it was a really nice experience but we are so like
hot and like need food now so we're going to go get some lunch to try cool down a little [Music]
bit we have just arrived at a lunch spot and honestly I'm so hungry we only had like a
little bit of snacks and fruit for breakfast so I'm ready to eat a lot of food we just arrived
at this beach I think it's called actually I'm not sure what it's called whoa makang
we have our little packed to lunch we've got fried chicken and rice how original
[Music] H we've all just been chilling out at Mandel beach for a few hours and honestly I
really prefer this beach to the one we went to this morning pantai oyama even though that's
like the more famous One this beach is absolutely stunning it's so long you have to come here I just
wanted to go over here and show you because this is like a little bajou settlement which
they moved here for 3 months because apparently in on this beach they gave loads of tuna just
for 3 months of the year so this was little bajou settlement where they came people we
saw earlier and obviously there's nowhere to put their trash cuz there's no big systems but
yeah this is where they stayed pretty cool cuz they're just sleeping on this incredible beach
in the middle of nowhere really far from you know any sort of town or anything but unfortunately
our time on this beautiful beach has come to an end we've got a big big day tomorrow where we're
going to be going to lots of incredible spots and yes we are going to the viral Tik Tok Lake
hopefully tomorrow Sunset honestly these bangy islands are so Untouched by tourists
I just can't believe we're on this incredible white sand beach the softest sand and there is
no other tourist [Music] here good morning it's day to exploring the bangai island and today we
are going on a bit of an adventure we will get to the lake but we're doing a big old road trip
first and we're going to go to some less touristy spots less touristy than what we've already been
to apparently let's go traveling around the bang islands is pretty difficult and we've got this big
toour basically organized for us I'll leave the WhatsApp number of the guy because it is hard to
travel around here and that's how we've got these big three vehicles and everything sorted out very
easily yeah makes things so much easier doing this yourself would be a pretty big challenge
definitely wow that was quite the Journey 3 hours in this car along some of the most
bumpy roads I think I've ever been in I feel so sick I think everyone does everyone just got out
the car sat on the side of the road like oh yeah people aren't looking too good not fun I'm dead
throw this is the first spot of the day we're going to this I don't know it's like
a little cave pool I've never seen really any pictures of it so we don't really know
what it's going to be like but hopefully it's decent this is pretty cool Hello look at that
beautiful I'm going to regret this aren't I potentially yeah it's going to be so
cold is it
nice wow what a little cave pool little find really far from anything we've now got to do
a 2hour journey to our next spot another 2 hours I know it is actually mental how
clear that water is the only problem was when we started walking around the edges
like all the mud started to wash through the water but incredible little spot in
the middle of [Music] nowhere [Music] whoa that's incredible look at this place this
is incredible the colors of the water and this is just a completely random spot on
bangi island it's just [Music] mental look how bad this road is we're having to walk because
it is so bad the car is struggling even though we've got a big car yeah he'll be
[Applause]
good we've just arrived at this little town in the middle of nowhere I have no idea
where we are but apparently there's a little sardine run you can do so let's go see how it
is where are the sardines buddy there they are oh yeah I just want to jump on
top of you just got to get someone to swim underneath them and push them all out do a
[Music] SAT [Music] so that was a quick little sardine school run um they were pretty much
hidden underneath the little Port thing so we didn't see them that well but now we're on to
the spot the best spot we've been waiting for in here here in Banggai Island let's go let's
go y we are finally here nearly at this incredible Lake I'm so excited this is
literally what we came for this is why we are here on Banggai Islands oh myor of that
water BL incredible there more blue more blue over there yeah let's go
then oh wow it's even Bluer why you get a little boat on the lake this is so
cool
right guys it's been all this time it is finally time to go
in this Lake and see if it really is as clear as they say it is let's
[Music] go did just looks like the air with a blue tint the best way to
describe this underwater Paradise air with a blue tint literally it's just
clear completely clear let's go in the boat drive me my boat driver here we go let's go
for a little explore we're going on an adventure we're going to go speed style
speed look at this leg look at that the color look at that guys look how clear
it is you see actually see it on camera yeah yeah it's mental this Lake I don't
know probably the deepest part I don't know maybe 10 m or something but the visibility
is better than anything I've ever seen in my entire life I think this potentially could
be one of the clearest lakes in the world surely it must be they it can't be clearer
there's like no rabbish with the palm trees this place is just so special this place is
[Music]
incredible honestly that was incredible and it genuinely lives up to the photos and the videos
you see online this place is so special and the guide there was actually saying that only
about 50 foreigners come to this Lake a year so is very untouched very hidden and so if you
want somewhere a little bit off the tourist path away from barley this is a place to come
come to this Lake it's incredible obviously blown away we're actually going to be coming
back here tomorrow morning because it was just incredible and we wanted I'm not ready I don't
want to go but unfortunately cuz the sun has set we're going back to where we're staying tonight
but we got to come back we do have to come back but unfortunately that is the end of the
video I hope you enjoyed this and don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you in the next video bye
