BANDA ISLANDS, INDONESIA - PT 1: SNORKELLING, FISHING, AND A LOCAL WEDDING ON HATTA - VLOG#11
Banda Islands—an incredible archipelago in Maluku, Indonesia that many travellers have never even heard of. Not only is it far away from the usual places in the country that are frequented by tourists, but it's a bit confusing and time-consuming to get to. After a flight and a long ride on the Pelni ferry, we arrived at the main island of Banda, called Banda Neira. We checked into Vita Guesthouse for the night and arranged a chartered boat for the next morning to take us to Hatta Island. Hatta is absolutely beautiful, with a sandy beach and a coral reef only meters away from the shore. We spend our days snorkelling and also join our guesthouse owner on his daily fishing trip—three attempts later and we caught a Wahoo fish! To finish off our time on Hatta, we attended our first local wedding of the trip. It was a completely unique experience and we really enjoyed being a part of it. The weather, however, took a turn for the worse and we decided it was time to move on to the next island of Banda. We chartered a boat with our German friends and some locals back to the main island and head to the pier to see which island we should go to next!

BANDA ISLANDS, INDONESIA - PT 2: EXPLORING RHUN ISLAND AND SNORKELLING ON NAILAKA - VLOG#12
Banda Islands—an incredible archipelago in Maluku, Indonesia that many travellers have never even heard of. Not only is it far away from the usual destinations in Indonesia that are frequented by tourists, but it's also a bit confusing and time-consuming to get to. In this vlog, we continue on from Part 1 and head to the island of Rhun. After a tough boat ride with some heavy fumes, we finally make it to our accommodation, called Nailaka Guesthouse. Rhun had a different feel to it than the other islands, it was like stepping back in time. Locals still forage for food and cook on wood. While on the island we were the only tourists, so it really felt like an authentic experience. We spent our days exploring and finding the fort, and we also made a day trip to Nailaka, a tiny island off the coast of Rhun that we had all to ourselves. Our time on Rhun was a unique experience and couldn't recommend it more if you're looking for something off the beaten track.

BANDA ISLANDS, INDONESIA - PT 3: SNORKELLING ON AI ISLAND AND CLIMBING API VOLCANO - VLOG#13
Banda Islands—an incredible archipelago in Maluku, Indonesia that many travellers have never even heard of. Not only is it far away from the usual destinations in Indonesia that are frequented by tourists, but it's also a bit confusing and time-consuming to get to. In this vlog, we continue on from Part 2 and head to Ai Island where we stay at Green Coconut Guesthouse. We snorkel the pristine reefs and go on some walks to explore the nutmeg plantations and the old fort. From there we take a boat back to the main island of the archipelago, Banda Neira. Here there is wifi, a couple restaurants, market, and another fort. Our main reason for spending time on Banda Neira and the last thing we planned to do while in Banda was to hike Api volcano, located just 5-minute boat ride away. The climb is humid and hard at times, but the incredible view of all the islands makes it worth it. Our month in Banda came to an end far too quickly and we made our way to the port to catch our Pelni ferry and start our long journey back to Ambon and then Jakarta. The Banda Islands are one of our favourite places so far and we can't recommend it enough!

Banda Naira | Rumah Pengasingan BUNG HATTA
Banda Neira is a paradise with natural beauty, historical and cultural!
Banda Neira is the only settlement of significant size on any of the Banda Islands, located in the Maluku province of Indonesia. The town is located on the central island of the Bandas group, Banda Neira, the only one of the islands with enough flat space to allow a small town. Located in Bandanaira are government offices, stores, a wharf, and almost half of the archipelago's 14,000 population.
Banda Neira was once the global center of the trade in nutmeg and mace, as the Bandas Islands were the only source of these valuable spices until the mid-19th century. The modern town was established by members of the Dutch East India Company as the capital of the Governorate of the Banda Islands. The Dutch forced out or exterminated most of the native Bandanese in order to exploit this lucrative resource.
