Belitung trip day 2

Our second day was Belitung island hopping day!!



We took a boat from Pantai Tanjung Kelayang. We arrived at 9ish. We wore our life jacket and hopped on the boat and went straight to Pulau Lengkuas. It is the furthest island and took us almost 45 minutes.


This island is characterised by its lighthouse. It has 18 floors to reach the top. I was too excited to see the clear water and giant rocks. As we reached the shore, we bought coconuts and find a spot under the tree. The kids built sand castle accompanied with Jones, while hubby and I took off to take pictures (ha!).





The next thing we did was diving. It was our first time and we were blown with our own eyes seeing the under water beauty. And this is not even the under water finest.






Then we moved to see Batu Garuda. It is a group of rocks and one of them shaped like the head of Burung Garuda.






As lunch time had come, we headed to the largest island named Pulau Kepayang. Yummy grilled fish, shellfish satay, calamari, and fish stew (drooling!) was waiting for us. After lunch we walked about 500 metres to the tortoise breeding. They are so cute!






Next was another beach time! We head to nearby beach and played. But there were lots of seaweed floating around.




Then we went to Pulau Batu Berlayar. Since it was a tiny island and other boats already docked, we just circled around with the boat and went to look for starfish.



We got 2 starfishes!

We head to Pulau Pasir. It is a unique island as it only appears when the sea is low tide. We went there almost 3 PM and the water is on knee level so it would be too late if we wanted to wait until it the island actually appears.






The final island we visited was Pulau Kelayang. It was beautiful, the water was calm and warm.




It was a beautiful scenery to end the island hopping day.
