WEST SUMBAWA, INDONESIA - AN UNTOUCHED PARADISE! | VLOG #23
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 фев 2017
- This time we're near Maluk in Sumbawa, Indonesia, a truly remote and untouched paradise west of Bali and Lombok. It has some of the best waves in the world and that's why a lot of surfers come here for surfing. However, West Sumbawa is about so much more than surfing. It has beautiful empty beaches (Scar Reef, Jojo's Beach and Luah Beach), offers great options for hiking and has some of the bluest secret lagoons.
Check out the vlog to see what things to do in Sumbawa and also see our wonderful encounter with some local women in the rice fields, you won't see that in many places in the world. Going to Sumbawa is definitely more adventure than going for a standard holiday in the Gili Islands and although it is a bit more rough and remote, that's also the charm of it. There are very few places in the world that haven't been discovered and exploited yet, West Sumbawa is one of those, so take your chance if you're up for it!
Accommodation tip: stay at the Merdeka House, it is such a wonderful place where you'll feel home straight away. Check out their website here: merdekahouse.com

P.s. thanks for watching our videos! 😊
Thanks for visiting Sumbawa and family thanks for showing it to the world how beauty my place 😊😊😊 thank you so much 😊😊
Beautiful place, also love the sound of the Athan in the background
As an Indonesian, I have never been to anywhere such as Bali, Lombok, or Sumbawa. Just found your channel about an hour ago and I'm really fascinated by your vlogs. I hope to see more from you. Keep up the good work. New subscriber here ☺
I love the idea that u guys go to somewhere that not much travellers go. I think it's true essential of being traveller.. and thank you for to be respect in my country, like the way you said about clothes, and speak little our language. you got real fans here!! 😊 once again, you guys are such a lovely couple! I really love your videos. keep going 😊
Yes, we feel that more and more. When we were in Bali in the beginning, it is interesting, but you often miss the authentic experiences with local people. The further you go away from the touristic spots, the more genuine and beautiful things you can often see, we got very lucky in Sumbawa and we're about the head to the other side of Asia to get more into the less touristic countries. 😊
And yes, we really respect all cultures and want to show that so whether it is Noemie covering up a bit or us learning to language, we see that it creates smiles on the faces of local people and that's the best way to connect! 😃
Thankyou for capturing beautiful Sumbawa. I miss my home.
very nice. Thanks for promoting Sumbawa !!
Thank you Hugo and Noemie! There is so much to see and learn in your vlogs that I had to watch again! Wonderful vlog! Thumbs up again!
Thanks Mike!
Oh! Welcome to my hometown! Great video!
Another great vlog. Sumbawa looks awesome. That sunset really really amazing. Hope you guys have a pleasant time.
Yeah Sumbawa was absolutely amazing! Very different but definitely worth getting there 👍
ur videos so so gorgeous..the waterfall..the beach..goshh..love how u say in local language
Hey Hamid! Thanks for your comment, we're happy you like them 😃
Amazing...
awesome vlog guys,,cant wait for the next vlog,,sampai jumpa lagi,,
Thanks man! Next one might be a totally different vlog, but looking forward to some feedback on that next time 👊
Thats crazy! I grew up living on that island and we used to go to that beach all the time.
I watch all your videos! Since the beginning and I adore them so much. You two seem so nice and the quality of your videos is perfect, the vlogs are just beautiful. It makes me so happy to see you doing this, I always smile when things with locals (like them smiling and seing the drone) happen. May I ask which cameras you use? I just wanted to leave this here. I'm only 17 but what you did, I mean traveling in asia, selling nearly all you own, this is my goal. Moreover I just wanted to say that you seem so lovely and nice. what I love about your channel too is that there is no big distance to the viewers, I don't know how to express this, but I like this because you two are so sympathetic!!
Dear Laura, thank you so much for your sweet message. We really appreciate that you take the time to write all of that down. It doesn't matter if you're 17 of 71, you can always decide to travel! But in this case you're lucky as the younger you are, the more it will give you in beautiful life experiences for the rest of your life. About the camera's, we're using a Sony rx 100 ii, Canon 5d, an Osmo and a Phantom 4, but we wouldn't recommend doing this to anyone. We got most of these really cheap and second hand, but we're looking to find one camera that can do a lot more in one, of using different ones. We're going to make a video about it sometime though!
We've just started vlogging since three months but we like it more everyday. We're so curious ourselves, we love culture and we always seem to end up in cool authentic adventures, so as long as we'll be able to do that, we'll continue! We're thinking of vlogging a bit more about life as well, as a lot of people have questions on how we're doing this and what our experience is, would you be interested in this as well? We're just checking here because although we don't have that many subscribers yet, we value them and want to create the nicest content and keep growing our channel. So feel free to spread our channel wherever you want, we can certainly use it. 😊
Again, thanks for your comment, we're so happy we make you smile every time, and let us say that your comment also made us smile today. 😃

I've been following your vlog since the beginning, your vlog is always interesting and entertaining, I think you should have more subscribers.
Hey Ary, thanks for saying that! And about the subscribers, we think we should have more too 😉
thank you sir for explore sumbawa Indonesia
i love this
Loved the bit with the ladies in the rice fields having a look at the drone. They seemed to love it :) Great drone work overall though. We definitely have to add Sumbawa to our plans. Been to Bali and it was just so busy. Great vlog :)
Yeah we were so excited when that was happening! Somehow we always seem to get close with locals and while often technology disconnects everyone, in this case drone technology totally broke the language barrier 😃
If you interested to own your paradise here. Take a look sumbawaproperty.com
Don't hesitate to ask me for further information. :)
i love your channel . keep it up & you should explore Indonesia more 😘😘

Those farmers were lovely!
indonesia consists of 17.000 islands so if you like beach we have lots of them. just point your finger on the map. happy adventure guys. : )
Thanks Isbie, we'll definitely check out a few more on our way back 😃
Thank you Hugo and Noemie for your awesome vlog! I enjoyed seeing Sumbawa with your montages, drone images and Hugo's informative narrative; great editing Noemie. The color, clarity and movement in your video is excellent. I love your vlogs! Thumbs up!
Hey Mike, thanks again 😃 We're really excited about this vlog and spend a lot of work on it. We just got lucky with finding all these amazing things and we're grateful for it! We're about to travel to a new country and we're wondering on whether to do more vlogs that also include this lifestyle we're living (like also showing how 'real' a traveling day is and what comes with that) or just keeping it to only these kind off vlogs since they can be the most beautiful.
We want to show both sides of the coin and show everything the way it is, of course still with our personalities and stupid jokes. 🙈 We're going to ask our subscribers for some feedback, but since you comment often we were wondering: what do you think of that? Only destination vlogs or sometimes also a vlog that maybe hasn't got drone footage but is very real and maybe a bit more personal?
Yes Hugo and Noemie I would love to see vlogs that include lifestyle content where you show a "real" traveling day and how you make decisions together. It would be interesting to see how you interact with each other throughout the day. You could share parts of conversations you have like when Noemie was shopping for a necklace and you were talking back and forth. I'm glad to see you are both feeling healthy and happy! Thank you for sharing your lives. I appreciate being able to get to know you both. Have a great day!
Hey Mike, thanks a lot for your extensive reply, we really appreciate that. The next vlog will be just like this! We'll just be using one small camera, no drones etc. but the story goes above all the fanciness of course. However, whenever we can shoot all these slomo's and drone shots, we'll keep making them, we're just going to make it a nice mix.
When we started this vlog, we purely focused on destinations and wanted them to be the main thing rather than ourselves as we were combining this with our new travel website. But now we're figuring out that people actually like the mix and our personal part in it, so that means that we're going a bit into that direction. Right now we're slowly falling in love with RUclips as a platform as we're able to create nice videos but also connect to people from all over the world. And as you see in the videos, we love people. It might not be face to face, but we feel the support from people commenting so thanks for that! Asking for some more feedback in the next vlog, hope to speak then 😃
Both of you are looks so lovely and know how to face the local people that why those peoples love you and your video just make me want to visit Sumbawa seem the peoples and places were really nice
Hey Allan! Thanks for that comment, makes us smile! Sumbawa is a bit more rough and adventurous, but one of the coolest destinations we've been to!
Terima kasih sudah mengunjungi kampung kami

Hey there, yes we certainly do! :)
sick drone shot
Thanks Yodi!
Nice video dude
As Indonesian I feel ashamed because I haven't visited Sumbawa but you guys did. Anyways... nice vlogs, I just subscribed and can't wait to see your other vlogs around the Asia especially in Indonesia.
If you visit Indonesia again, you can come and stay in my house in Jakarta, but I think there are not many good tourism spot around Jakarta hehe
Hey Ilmi, Sumbawa is definitely amazing! We've been in Indonesia for tow months, but we'll be coming back for Java and more! :) If we're ever in Jakarta, we'll let you know!
😘😘😘😘 im from sumbawa., sumbawa beautifuull
Yes! Sumbawa bike! ;)
Lovey video: I’ll be riding across Sumbawa in 2 weeks’ time. :D
Please tell me the name of that first waterfall!
I think this is the best island hoping vlog i've seen so far in You Tube. Your drone shots are amazing! Those rice paddies shot, wow! You should try to pitch them to Wonderful Indonesia (official Indonesia tourism campaign), not sure how tho, sorry.. :(
And that closing scene with the sunset.... :)
Hey Chuan, thanks so much that puts a smile on our face 😃 That's a very good idea, we might look into that. We're checking how to grow our channels so that might be an option, appreciate it!
Yeah right, it was stunning!
8:13 that's my village Sekongkang LOL, many beautiful beach there like Tropi beach, yoyo beach, Rantung beach and the last one in your vidio (9:35) Lawar beach (not Luwa beach but pronaunce Law-r)
Hi guys lovely video. Can you advise how did you travel from Lombok to Sumbawa?
You can go to west sumbawa by fery (from Kayangan to Tano )
Or fast boat (from kayangan to benete), I think in the vidio they went to Maluk beach, Tropi beach, Rantung beach, and Lawar beach which is at sekongkang, you can go there from benete in 30 minuts
nice video
hey bro, come and visit gili balu. that's in west sumbawa. beside of pototano harbour
Next time bro!
enjoy your trip bro .. hope you can explore 17000 islands of indonesia ..
Thanks Ahmad, all 17000 will be a big challenge, but for sure we'll keep exploring new ones 😃
Very good West Sumbawa. Zulkifli Bali
What month did you guys visit Sumbawa?
You're awesome guys..
I work in West Sumbawa, you missed the Kertasari Beach :)
By the way.. what the type of your drone.. I mean the brand/merk?
Dude again lovely video, I love the shoes (Nike) where do you find them they look comfortable? Is it the Nike Air Max Tavas?
Thanks! The Nikes are the Janovski's, bought them in Barcelona last year but I'm sure you can find them almost anywhere!
Thanks...As always be safe and I can't wait to see your next film.
sick man! My crew are looking at heading to that region as well, whats the best/ fastest way to get there?
If you interested to own your paradise here. Take a look sumbawaproperty.com
Don't hesitate to ask me for further information. :)
Seems that you guys are on the "Roads less travelled", see how the farmer women's are excited when they saw your drone, and one question how did your fly the drone when your are riding motorbike?
So there isn't any foreigners around? Can see your are eating local foods at the local coffee shop. Are the locals able communicate in English?
Haha 0 foreigners, only local people who are not speaking English. But that makes it all one big adventure!
'And of course as any decent human being...closed it' most Indonesians wouldn't do such a thing and that drives me crazy. The keyword is most, so not everyone.
Btw, nice vlog! I want to watch the others.
Edited because of typos
Hey mana, I always expect the good of the human kind I guess haha! Happy you liked the vlogs, enjoy watching the others if you've got time 😊
Try to explore labangka, leppu beach.
it is the KALELA waterfall ... sumbawa barat NTB
Nature of sumbawa = caannttiik, one island, beach, forrest, wter fall, rice terrance, culture, lake, volcano mountain, cliff, endemic flowers animal, underwater marine, green2 area, the vidio good n funny, SUBC, like, coment too, done
can you tell me if that bag you have is allowed on planes as carry on? im thinking of buying it
Hey there! Right now we're using it as a carry on, but rules and regulations are constantly changing, so I'd check it to be sure, especially since different airlines have different rules. Hope that helps! 😃
im subscribe ur channel...tumb`s up...great work..
Hey Fitra, thanks for subscribing! 😃
Hi

Hey there, we stayed in the Merdeka House.
You can check our website for other recommendations:
wewanderasia.com/destination/indonesia/sumbawa/
how did you find the beaches and accommodations...? Could you share those in detail please ?
Hey there! One is called Scar Reef. Accommodation we found via a friend. You can also check our website, there's a Sumbawa page :)
www.wewanderasia.com
Thank you ! i am asking about the long sand beaches with nobody on them... because West Sumbaya is So big... that we save a week of searching for beaches. thank you again !
from bali how to go there and how much it takes
I suggestion u to visit satonda island, its a unique island and lake, why i say unique? because the lake on this island is so salty like in the sea. and than it so near from moyo island
Hey Fian, thanks for your comment and tip! We'll definitely try to check that out when we're back!
HUGO & NOEMIE - WE WANDER ASIA okay I hope u are will back in west nusa tenggara (lombok and sumbawa island) to enjoy this island, and if u will be back u can contact me bro😊
wow, very very very amazing.
Hey guys! What is the name of the waterfall you had visited ?
Just so amazed by that rice field view. Greeting from Bali guys, God bless ❤
Thanks Putra from the wonderful Bali!
yo dude would you mind listing out the places you visit on your vlog? thanks a bunch
DUDE I LIVE HERE SO CLOSE TO YOYO
This is freaking cool! I had to sub haha. btw what's the name of the waterfall/blue lagoon?
Glad you have you on board! We have no idea of the name as it is situated in the middle of the jungle. If you want to go there one time, we can give you clues on how to find it. P.s. we're looking for ways to reach more people with out channel and were just wondering how you found us? 😃
alright I'll try looking for it on google. I was watching sawyer hartman's vlog and then ur video was on next so i watched it and i really really like it! And I also live in Indonesia so ur vids gave me some travel ideas for holiday. And if i could recommend, I think u should go to Kakaban Island in Kalimantan. The sceneries are super sick! And also thank you for replying my comment🙏🏻
Thanks a lot for that, appreciate it! Happy that you found us, it is challenging to reach people on RUclips so I'm happy that RUclips is helping us slowly a little. P.s. if you're in West Sumbawa, you just have to search for the Air Terjun (it means waterfall) in the north, some people will know it and you'll be able to find it. Not sure if there are any other pictures of it though! We're going to check out the Kalimantan thing and might head there when we go back this year! 😃
hi., guys! your good vidio! thanks to you to close the door for a cow!? ha..ha..!
Are the people in Sumbawa are as rough as in Lombok?
berangkattt!!!
Jereweh ?
Is anyone doing anything to keep it that way?
Please comme to Sabang or Aceh
Aslamualaim mind, sy boleh minta vidio documenter pariwisata sumbawa ndk?
