WEDNESDAY
Third day start with the same kayak survey and later in the evening, depart for our nesting beach in the evening, Tiga Ruang ("Three Spaces"). Spend your first of two nights on this slice of paradise, whilst resting at our beach camp during the day and patrolling for nesting turtles during the nights. Just our simple presence deters poachers from the beach..

Later in the evening, prepare yourself for the majestic Malay Dinner where you will enjoy Malay dishes cooked by the best chefs in the village while wearing the traditional Malay batik.
SATURDAY
