Highlights & Heritage of Lengkuas Island Lighthouse

Erected by Dutch maritime engineering company Z.M. Willem III in 1882, the 18-story Lengkuas Lighthouse historically guided merchant vessels navigating the treacherous Gaspar Strait. Surrounding the island lies a pristine coral garden at shallow depths of 1 to 3 meters—a thriving ecosystem harboring clownfish (Nemo), electric blue starfish, and kaleidoscopic reef fauna. The island also features a hawksbill sea turtle hatchling nursery lovingly tended by lighthouse keepers.

Unmissable Highlights & Experiences:

Historic 1882 Dutch colonial iron lighthouse with sweeping ocean views

Premier shallow coral reef snorkeling with resident clownfish colonies

Hawksbill sea turtle hatchling conservation sanctuary

Dramatic granite boulder formations on the western shore for underwater photography

Photography Tips & Recommended Angles

Capture the striking lighthouse perspective from the bow of the traditional wooden boat approaching the island jetty.

Use underwater cameras (complimentary GoPro included on Nusataway tours) to capture clownfish amidst anemones.

“Sensasi mendekati menara Mercusuar Belanda 1882 dari atas perahu sangat mendebarkan! Snorkeling di perairan sekitarnya sangat jernih toska dan ikannya berenang mendekat saat diberi remahan biskuit. Spot wajib nomor satu di Belitung!”
