Telaga Bintang (Star Lagoon)

Telaga Bintang

A star-shaped lagoon viewpoint near Piaynemo. After a short climb, you look down on a turquoise bay ringed by karst islands and shaped like a star.

Telaga Bintang (Star Lagoon) lies among the Piaynemo karst islands. It gets its name from the star-shaped outline of the bay when seen from above. The boat stops beneath the cliff, and after a few minutes up steep stone steps and wooden ladders you reach a small viewpoint, looking down on a turquoise lagoon ringed by lush islands. It is usually visited on the same charter trip as the Piaynemo viewpoint, and an island entry fee is payable at the same time. The rocks are sharp and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. The viewpoint is small, so expect to queue for photos.
