Karawapop Love Lagoon: Heart of Misool's Natural Romance

Kawarapop, also known as the Love Lagoon, is one of Misool’s iconic heart-shaped lagoons, formed by the interplay of mountain slopes and coral reef walls.  This lagoon is a naturally romantic setting, attracting couples, photographers, and nature lovers alike. From a vantage point above the lagoon, visitors can admire the water’s gradient—from deep blues in the central basin to lighter aquamarine along edges. The lagoon is accessed by boat and a short hike upward to viewpoint decks, rewarding trekkers with a dramatic panoramic vista of the heart shape below. Because of its delicate ecological and aesthetic qualities, visitation is often moderated by guides and local communities. Kawarapop offers both a symbolic landscape and a real natural wonder — combining geological shape, forested heights, and calm lagoon waters into one unforgettable scene.
