The Aceh area is indeed famous for a variety of tourist attractions, including marine tourism. There are many islands that spread in almost all districts and have their own beauty, such as the island that I will introduce to a friend on TravelFeed, the island which I will introduce is called Keluang Island.
Keluang Island is an island located in Jaya sub-district, Aceh Jaya district, Aceh Indonesia. This island was formerly called the island of Sudeun (Sudeun is aceh language). According to information from residents, since the Tsunami hit Aceh on December 26, 2004, the island was destroyed and only half of it remained, so now they call it Keluang Island. This island is named Keluang Island because there is a swallow cave jutting into the sea. If you are a swallow farmer, then you will see a very abundant nest there, because the place is in the middle of the sea, the swallow can properly make a nest and also breed.
If you want to visit this island, then it is not difficult because it is connected on the main road crossing Banda Aceh - Meulaboh, to be precise, Lamno Aceh Jaya District. On the way your eyes will also be spoiled with a very beautiful sea view, from the expanse of Gurute Mount (the name of mount from Aceh) and Kulu Mount (the name of mount from Aceh) you will clearly see the view of Keluang Island, because of its very strategic location. along the way you can also taste Acehnese specialties such as Acehnese noodles. Aceh noodles with the addition of octopus, will definitely make your tongue tempted to taste it. Aceh is a tourist and culinary paradise.
Keluang Island not only has its natural beauty, you will also find white sand and enchanting underwater beauty, the underwater island of Keluang is composed of corals, and very sturdy cliffs, if you have a hobby of snorkeling, then your choice to visit this island is not vain. My advice if you visit this island, don't forget to bring a fishing rod, because the fishing spots here are very good, the fish are also very much, there are various types of reef fish that will eat your bait. Don't forget to bring grilled fish spices, my friend, so that the fish you catch are delicious.
If you are a coffee connoisseur, then you can enjoy steeping coffee from the top of Mount Gurute (the name of mount from Aceh) to enjoy the beauty of Keluang Island before you visit there. For information, if you want to visit Keluang Island you can use the services of local residents to take you to Keluang Island, there you can rent a shuttle service by boat, for a very cheap price, which is around US $ 14 or equivalent to Rp. 400,000 if the rupiah exchange rate. The journey from the local village to the island of Keluang is only about 15 minutes, if you bring a car or other vehicle you can also leave your vehicle at the vehicle storage for a fee as sincere as you can, it's amazing. the friendliness of the local people also gives the best impression if you visit this Keluang Island.
If you are a traveler who likes camping, then the choice to visit Keluang Island is very appropriate, because there you can set up a tent that directly faces the sea, you can also find a panoramic view of sunset and sunrise if the weather is good, so I recommend that if you want to visit keluang island then choose a good time or good weather.
