Indonesia Travel Bucket List Sombori 1 : The Tower of Marcusuar on the island of Labengki Kecil

Labengki Island consists of two islands namely large labengki and small labengki, the two islands are surrounded by beautiful small island islands with arrangement of karstic rocks.

If we visit Labengki Island as far as the eye can see it will be seen a large and towering view of the reefs, like we are in Raja Ampat Papua, it is not surprising if Labengki Island is often called the miniature of Raja Ampat Papua.

In the small labengki there is one iconic spot, An marcusuar, this marcusuar is located behind the village and is located on the side of the uninhabited coastline.

When visiting this location a good and fitting time is sunrise because the view of the small Labengki island will be very beautiful.

Unfortunately this marcusuar doesn’t work, even though it may not be possible to go up to Marcusuar, we can see the beauty of Labengki Island.

Near this marcusuar location there is a quiet beach and the water is very nice and clear, on this beach we can see a bunch of fish swimming.

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.
