Why is this island called "Taka"? In the Bugis language, Taka means shallow. Did you know that the height of this island above sea level is shallow? Even when the tide is high, this island will disappear and reappear when the tide is low.

Taka Makassar Island is known for its clear water views and beautiful marine ecosystems. You can see the beautiful arrangement of coral reefs from above sea level, but if you want to snorkel on this island, make sure to bring complete equipment when diving.

Although this island is included as one of the remote islands, this does not dampen visitors' interest in seeing firsthand the charm of Taka Makassar Island. Always capture your moments on this island using a cell phone or a professional camera.

When is the best time to visit Taka Island Makassar? It is recommended to come in March-September or during the summer. This is because the seawater around the island will tend to recede, making it easier for you to reach this island.
