Ndana Island
Pulau Ndana
The southernmost uninhabited island in Indonesia, with a red saltwater lake, wild deer, and a military outpost. The waters around it are good for snorkeling.
Ndana Island lies about 10 kilometers southwest of Rote Island and is considered the southernmost point of Indonesian territory. A naval outpost is stationed there, and a national border monument stands on the island. Inside is a saltwater lake that looks reddish-pink because of algae. Wild deer roam the forest, and the coral reefs around the island offer good snorkeling. Boats must be chartered from Oeseli or Nemberala, and visitors must register with the outpost before landing. Boats do not sail during the rainy season, when waves are rough.
