You can choose to watch surf curl on the south coast, thread through rice terraces at Tetebatu, or stand beneath the curtain of Benang Kelambu — the itinerary is yours to shape.

Conservation
Coastal and reef health is fragile; favor operators using reef‑safe practices and avoid littering in villages and waterfalls to reduce visitor impact.

Plan priorities in advance

Protect coral and turtles
If you add snorkeling, use reef‑safe sunscreen and avoid standing on coral to lessen impact on sensitive reefs.
