📍Banggai Islands, Indonesia

I put on goggles and jumped into this lake for the first time and upon emerging from the water for the first time my immediate reaction was “it looks like air, but with a blue tint.” There is no better way to describe just how clear this lake is, it’s mind boggling; definitely the clearest water I’ve ever seen. I felt like a child swimming through all the fallen trees beneath its surface as if it was an underwater playground. And to make it even more magical, we had this place to ourselves due to its location on a remote island and therefore lack of visitors.
