My husband and I traveled to Kusu Island, Indonesia in June 2023. It took us four days to get there from Scotland but as my husband always says, “It’s worth it when you get there!”
He is a diver and dived daily while I was snorkeling at Kusu Island, in the lagoon in front of our water bungalow.
Using my trusty Canon Powershot D30 I was able to photograph lots of sealife, some endemic to the Indo Pacific area, including a juvenile Javanese Damselfish, the magnificent Blue-girdled Angelfish, a Blackpatch Triggerfish and a Palette Surgeonfish.
From my photos I was able to identify 86 different fish though, of course, there were many more which I was unable to capture.
Kusu Island Resort is truly a special place.
Christine, thank you for sharing your pictures and story of snorkeling at Kusu Island! We snorkeled that house reef and loved it too.
We snorkeled a number of spots nearby the resort there that were simply spectacular. You can read all about our experience snorkeling Halmahera here.
If anyone is interested in joining a snorkeling specific group tour that stays at Kusu Island Resort and takes boat trips out to the nearby reefs, our partner offers this trip.
