If East Indonesia has Raja Ampat, in the western part of Indonesia there is also Anambas Adventure which is not less beautiful. In fact, CNN Travel also crowned Anambas as the most beautiful tropical islands in Asia beating some neighboring countries like Thailand and Malaysia.
Located in the South China Sea, between Borneo, East and West Malaysia, the Anambas Islands belong to the Riau Islands Province. No wonder Anambas become a favorite destination of lovers of underwater activities such as snorkeling, diving and scuba diving.
The Anambas Islands only have small airports and can be reached by small planes from Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport (Jakarta), Raja Haji Fisabilillah Airport (Tanjungpinang), Hang Nadim Airport (Batam), and Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport (Pekanbaru). Transportation facilities around the Anambas Islands can use a speed boat.
