Osi Island, Maluku Islands, Indonesia
4.5 (19 reviews) Spent Ranking #12 in Ambon Islands
Holiday trip
Such a wonderful place to be with white sandy beach around the island. This island offer unique experience as you can walk up a kilometre long wooden bridge across the island and up to the shore. On the island entrance, theres an option of taking a ride in the back of a motorbike by locals. It costs only 15k Rupiah per single trip. Just try to bargain if you are international tourist. So you know this is your bargain point. Up in this island, there are several restaurants where you can eat grilled fish and other seafood selection made on spot. Average package price is around 150k Rupiah ($7) for 3 sort fishes, a portion of veggies and bucket of rice. Remember, the more fishes they offered you, the more you have to pay. My wife and I definitely had a wonderful time here although we went there during rainy season (may - june period), but this place has so much to offer in short period of time.

Amazing Island
Be prepared to walk for about 7 Kms until u reach the end of the wood walkway. It's an amazing place and relaxed. If u like sunset u will love it from this place. Nature and locals are something special.

Interesting surrounding, great accomodation
I stayed in a guesthouse all the way at the end of the bridge, even behind the village. It was a building with 8 rooms build on stilts over the water. During low tide it sits on the sand. Price is 150.000 IDR per room. The guesthouse was built only two years ago. Food is cooked by a women who lives in the village. She will come everyday and ask for special requests. She is a lovely lady and a very good cook. We ended up paying 125.000 IDR per Person for 4 meals (lunch/dinner) which I think was a great price. You should try the famous ikan bakar! Very delicious. There is also the option to buy a fresh lobster from the guy next door. He wanted 300.000 IDR/kg. And most likely they will offer you a boat trip to the other island to go snorkeling. After bargaining we still ended up paying 200.000 IDR which is still too much for a ten minute boat ride to the other island. And the guy who actually drives the boat is a very unfriendly young person. Snorkeling was alright, but I wouldn't do it again. Other than that the place is very peaceful and you will see wunderful sunsets. Scenery is great and the village people are very friendly.
