BANYAK ISLANDS Pulau Banyak in West Sumatra, Indonesia is an ultimate hidden paradise! Tailana Island, Sikandang Island or Asok Island is the perfect place to grab a mask and flippers and admire the rich marine life. At Sikandang Island you have a chance to spot dolphins, turtles, and whales. At Rago Rago Island is a possibility to see Sea-cow. Rent a kayak or small fishing boat and explore the nearby Islands or the Island you stay on. Camping is allowed on most of the Islands. Just ask the local fishermen to drive you there. If you don´t have your own tent, you can rent it for 60k IDR per night. The camping gear is not gonna be waterproof so keep that in your mind. As well as there are mosquitos with (a small) possibility of malaria. The most recommended Islands for camping are Asok Island and Pandan Island. Most of the surfing resorts are in Ujung Lolok. But you can get a charter local boat from Balai Island as well. Surfing charter boats will take you than on their secret spots near Tuangku Island and Bangkaru Island. Pulau Tuangku (Tuangku Island) is the best island for jungle trekking. The starting point is in Haloban, where is easy to find guides with the necessary equipment. There is a 350m high mountain which takes around 3 hours to climb up and offers a beautiful view. You can visit as well the Crocodile River, caves or waterfalls. If you have your own fishing gear with you, you can rent a boat without an engine for 150k IDR per day and go fishing as we did!:) Otherwise, just ask locals to take you with them and you can learn some more traditional ways of fishing. The only Island where you can watch sunrise and sunset is Balai Island. At Tailana Island is a spectacular place on the beach to watch the sunset, with bending Palm tree in front of you.
