Where The Heck Is Bangaii? A Hidden Paradise Discovered
Bangaii – a remote archipelago, barely marked on any sailing charts. An unknown destination until now, as we have decided to sail around it and uncover the hidden secrets this paradise has to offer.
An Uncharted Territory
With zero Western tourism, and barely a blip on the charting community’s radar, Bangaii seemed like an enigma. A place that promised untouched nature and seclusion, which attracted us instantly.
The Challenges and Discoveries
Sailing here wasn’t without its challenges. Navigating through unclear waters, dealing with the rain, managing illnesses, and keeping our morale high all contributed to an adventure filled with highs and lows.
The Hidden Gems
Despite the hardships, the discovery of hidden gems like Oana Beach made it all worthwhile. It was like stumbling upon an undiscovered paradise where we were met with breathtaking landscapes, pristine waters, and no other tourists in sight.
The Importance of Support
We’d like to extend our thanks to all those who support us on this journey, both financially and emotionally. It’s through your support that we’re able to explore the most remote destinations and share these adventures with you.
Looking Forward
Our journey is far from over, with the Toan Islands waiting in the horizon. As we leave behind the beauty of Bangaii, we’re eager to see what other adventures and discoveries lie ahead.
A Hidden Paradise Unveiled
After weeks of uncertainty and navigating rough seas, we’ve uncovered a hidden paradise in Bangaii. A place that offers both tranquility and adventure, Bangaii is worth the trip for anyone seeking a unique sailing experience.
Join Us On Our Journey
If you’re interested in following along on our voyage or if Bangaii has sparked your interest, remember to follow us and stay tuned for more adventures from the high seas.

The Bangaii Islands are just that, rarely visited they presented quite a challenge, deep anchorages, strong currents and constant bad weather. We completed a circumnavigation of the main island and found a few amazing spots aloing the way.
