A Sea Gypsies Stilt Village in Indonesia; Visiting the Bajo Tribe of Sampela, Wakatobi

Episode 404 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we visit the Bajo Sea Gypsy village of Sampela at Wakatobi National Park. Our guide, Dan, is a member of the tribe and took us to his home on his amazing fishing boat where his wife prepared lunch for us of a fish Dan had caught the day before.

Visiting this village was mind blowing for me! The construction of the houses over the reef, the super sketchy boardwalks and minimal living conditions felt like something out of a movie, yet here we were exploring this amazing place. This was certainly the highlight of my circumnavigation so far!
