Search hotels in Pulau Sikandang

It’s been more than a week since we came back, and I find it hard to start writing a review coz it feels like such a remote dream to me now. I miss the serene atmosphere there and the hospitality(but not excessive)of our hosts. The meals were amazing considering the variety of food ingredients were limited due to the nature of the island, so great thanks to our chef Aton. The crab hunting was such a fun experience. Yo was so agile and skillful in the jungle and the crabs could not have turned into a gourmet dinner without him. Regrading touring around the island, after breakfast will be an ideal time as the tides are relatively low. I would suggest (facing the bungalows) go clockwise so that you would have a little challenges crossing the falling tree trunks and boulders etc.,at first, but the trip gets easier and you would come across some fine sandy beaches when getting near to the bungalows from another side, where you will have the urges to jump into the sea for a swim or snorkeling. It’s a long way to get to the island, but Ira would give you all the info and help you need. Make sure to stay long enough to relax and enjoy some peaceful reading time before you head back to the bustling cities.
