TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The beauty of the sunset at Kaimana beach in Papua has been immortalized in a song popularized by Indonesian musician Alfian back in 1960s. After decades, however, Kaimana still preserves its charm along with a number of nearby locations that are tempting to be visited.
Around three-hour boat-ride away from Kaimana, there is Adi Island where old cemetery and King Kumisi mosque lies. The island holds traces of Islam outspread history in Papua along with other island called Namatota where cemetery and mosque of King Namatota lies.
Still, a journey in Kaimana wouldn’t be complete without greeting its underwater world in Triton Bay. It promises view as wonderful as that in the more popular Raja Ampat site. Triton bay has also claimed a place among other international-standard travel destination.
Foreign tourists continue to flow to Kaimana to enjoy its exotic beaches as well as its historical remnants dating back to the 18th century.
