Misool Island: Hidden Lagoons & Ancient Mysteries

About This Place

Misool is a remote sanctuary where nature and history intertwine. Unlike the central islands, Misool is famous for its vibrant soft coral gardens and a network of hidden lagoons. One of its most unique features is the Love Lagoon (Karapuar), a heart-shaped body of water surrounded by steep cliffs. Beyond its natural beauty, Misool holds ancient secrets—prehistoric red-ochre handprints and animal paintings can be found on the cliff walls overlooking the sea, left by seafaring ancestors thousands of years ago. It is a destination that feels untouched by time.
