Insel Riung
The sub-district of Riung, located to the north of Bajawa, is famed for its beautiful coral gardens. The coast and the surrounding area of the town of Riung have become a national conservation area, and were even given the status of a national park and named Pulau Tujuhbelas, or ‘Seventeen Islands’. In fact, the national park consists of more than 20 small and larger islands. The local people, though, have named the area ‘Riung Seventeen Islands’, a label that is easy to remember as it refers to the personification of a beautiful 17-year-old girl and also Indonesian Independence Day on the 17th of August.

Great shot of a wonderful island archipel. Beautiful colors. The reef seems to be a good place for snorkeling and diving. No coral damage there?After several visits of Indonesia me and my family hope to travel also to Flores next year. Maybe we can contact you?
Best regards
Thomas
