I think Buton is probably one of the most interesting places to visit in Indonesia, along with its neighboring island Muna.
We just spent 10 days in Buton and Muna, and still didn’t see everything. This island in Sulawesi has great waterfalls, caves, and exotic beaches, and none of the crowds of foreign tourists you might see in Bali or other parts of Indonesia.
That’s not all, though. Buton is also home to a group of blue-eyed people from the Kaimbulawa tribe, famous for their amazing eyes. I met and photographed two of them during our trip.
This travel guide will explain how to get to Buton, where to stay, and what to see and do on the island!
