Along the beauty of the tourist destinations in Luwuk Banggai Regency, as if there is no end on this third day, the Susur Nusantara Team will visit a small island with a very exotic view. This island is called Tinalapu Island which is located in Tomini Bay, Pagimana District
At 7:00 a.m. Tim Susur departed from Luwuk City to go to Pagimana, a trip from Luwuk City to the Port of Mana needed around 3 hours by road.
After arriving at the Port, where the Susur Nusantara Team immediately prepares a boat for rental that is already available to cross to Tinalapu Island, the crossing to Tinalapu Island from Pagimana takes about 1 hour.
After about 1 hour we also saw the appearance of an exotic small island with very clean white sand and still awake, Tinalapu Island is a small island that is uninhabited and overgrown with pine trees, the water is very clear and transparent so that the coral - we can see and grow under the sea and spoil the eyes.
Our boat pulled up to the beach and immediately went down and enjoyed the exoticism of the island by capturing incredibly cool photos.
Traveling to Tinalapu Island certainly has to be on the agenda of snorkeling and enjoy underwater scenery that is very tempting to explore.
It didn’t feel we had already spent 4 hours on this island because we really enjoyed the activities on this island so we forgot the time, because when it was cloudy and it would rain on this island at 2:00 a.m. we returned to the port of Pagimana. because it was cloudy and rainy on this island.

How do I become a Local Guides to promote Indonesian tourism (Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories : Local Guides X Indonesian Ministry Of Tourism)
The name of the program is “SUSUR NUSANTARA” has a special agenda to revitalize the existence of tourist spots in Indonesia that are less exposed on social media. The West Side’s fame on social media is far less than the East side’s fame, where hashtags with locations in Bali, NTB, Sulawesi and Papua are always crowded with posts by local and international netizens.
I along with the team explored 8 destinations that are rarely exposed in Indonesia. I was officially invited to collaborate because I am a co-founder of Indonesia’s largest media on Instagram, @ExploreIndonesia, and also I am an alumni of the 2017 Local Guides Summit who are very active in helping local tourism in my residential areas, Sidoarjo and Surabaya.
Not only that, my job there is to photograph the beauty of the natural, cultural and regional heritage there. But it also helps to update the location with updated points of tourist attractions on Google Maps with the Local Guides program and Street View Trusted Photographer so that it will get maximum results.
My goal for sharing this story is to show my experience when traveling to unique places in Indonesia. And also helps provide insight to other global Local Guides friends. So, I will write my stories through the title “Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories”.
Hopefully, one day, officially, @ExploreIndonesia and the Google Local Guides program also Google Maps can collaborate in Indonesia.
