2024 Iboih Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

Rubiah Beach

First time snorkeling. Very beautiful and amazing. Ornamental fish swimming here and there. Simply being fed instant noodles can attract the attention of the fish. Instant noodles can also be purchased at local shops. Be careful with sea urchins around the coral beach. Great place for snorkeling or diving, nice beach views, clear water, also really cool underwater views... #wecreate

molina cafe

In case you reach Pulau Weh make sure you go to Molina's. I guarantee the trouble is worth it. The food is amazing, as well as the homemade drinks, the ice cream and the cakes. There is an extra something about each and everything that is served. Either the cinnamon in the lime fresh juice, the shiitake mushrooms in the pumpkin soup or the butter in the brownie. Molina is such a pleasant host and the cafe itself is very serene. #wecreate

INDONESIA - more than just Bali

When you meet somebody who has been to Indonesia he or she will tell you about Bali, maybe the Gili Islands or at the max Lombok „Mainland“ or Komodo & Flores. But there are so many more Islands to discover! In the west part under Malaysia you can find the beautiful Sumatra, meet the king of the jungle - 🐅 the tiger or visit one of the last places on earth to encounter orangutans in the wild 🦧& at the very tip lays a tiny island called 📍Pulau Weh, about which I want to tell you a bit. 🏝️The island is lush and the greenest „jungeliest“ I have seen so far on my travels. It is an undiscovered beauty where only a few tourists (mainly divers) make it to. You can also find the kilometre zero on the tip of this little gem. Next to the rural jungle awaits you crystal clear water 🌊- but be aware, as it boosts really strong currents! But that‘s what it makes a paradise for experienced divers. Come to find schools of Mobulas, other Rays and Pelagics as well as a pristine Reefs 🪸 with boosting Marine Life which just comes back more & more after the big Tsunami in 2004. Look out for Critters, like Frogfish, Cometfish, Blue Ring Octopus or Mantis Shrimps - but careful, don’t put your camera to close, this little guy is smashing its victims' shells (or your lens) with the force of a .22 caliber bullet. Also beginners can enjoy a few sites, but spots like Arus Balee (Translates to Bastard Current) are only recommended for more skilled divers. The currents can change so fast, that they create an „washing machine“-effect. Way of travel: ✈️ Take a plane from Singapore or Malaysia to Banda Aceh 🚕 where you can take a quick taxi ride to the port. ⛴️ than simply take the ferry to Pulau Weh 🛺 where tons of taxi or Tuk Tuk / gua gua drivers will await you, to bring you to your diveshop/accommodation. #100WaysOfTravel #watersports #scubadiving #diving #offthebeatenpath #offthegrid #sumatra #indonesia #hiddengems

Rubiah island

#beachlife Gorgeous beach with an abundance of gorgeous fish swimming around. The water is a brilliant blue colour. Even some decorations are submerged so you can take pictures with them. It isn't overly packed on weekdays. so that we can swim with ease and avoid bumping over other people. surrounded by eateries. We left our belongings there and picked them up without any issues, thus the staff members were amiable and reliable. The fact that there is a lot of rubbish along the shore is the only drawback.
