Big Risk… Big Reward | Sailing Into The Anambas | S2 Ep 6

After leaving one of the most welcoming villages we’ve ever visited in the southern Natuna Islands, we set sail toward our next destination — the Anambas Islands. Our first stop looked incredible… but getting in wasn’t straightforward. The entrance to the anchorage wound its way through a narrow gap in the reefs, and with our deep-draft boat, that always brings a level of nerves. Slowly and carefully, we picked our way through. But once inside, the reward was immediate. Crystal-clear water, coral visible beneath the boat, dramatic rock formations rising out of the sea, and one of the most beautiful anchorages we’ve seen in a long time. We spent the following days exploring by dinghy, kayak, and sailing dinghy, relaxing on beaches as a family, and soaking in a place we know we’ll never forget.
