This is my first time to write travel article in english, please kindly understand if there are so many mistakes in this article Have you ever visit Makassar ? or What do you think about Makassar ? Maybe many people only know about Losari beach, Bunaken or coto Makassar. But, last week I had a chance to visit one of beautiful island in Makassar, called Samalona Island. This is an island apart of Makassar that only has about 2 hectares area. This island can be reached either from "Dermaga Kayu Bangkoa" near Losari or a dock in front of "Benteng Rotterdam". Only need about 30 minutes to arrive in this island by boat. The cost of the boat is IDR 450.000 - 500.000 for 5 people in one trip.
