SPORTS, GAMES & FUN

Many of the best fitness campaigns in Pangkil have been known to founder in favour of the number one activity which is…

MASSAGES

Not many things beat a good massage and we have good masseuses available. Please give us advance notice-best when you book or anyway before you arrive. Minimum 6 treatments please.

Massage costs 300,000 IDR for 60 minutes (approx. 30 SGD).

FISHING
Fishing trips away from the island can be arranged with a few days notice. This is Indonesian-style fishing where the crew will show you how to hook a bait which is hung over the side of the launch. The fee is S$200++ regardless number of people.

PICNICS

*Picnics are available only for bookings with a minimum of 4-night stay.

Our speedboats or launch may be used for picnics on nearby islands or sunset-cruises. Journey times will depend on the destination - a trip to the more distant islands may require a full day. This costs S$200++  maximum of 30pax.

PULAU PANGKIL BESAR
‘Big Pangkil’ is our closest neighbour. This is a private, mostly deserted, island which was mined for sand. The far-side is still intact and well worth a tour around to view the mangroves. There is a nature trail along the north shore which has some huge shady trees. There is a small village on the North end and a good walk along the Eastern coast. Nice trees and mangroves. Best to wear proper walking clothes-no flip-flops. The interior has been devastated by mining for sand.

PULAU MURBAI
Our best picnic island. Deserted and tiny. Good snorkeling but beware of the very strong tidal flows.

PULAU BINYOSO
Another lovely little island - really two islands joined by a beach. A bit far from Pangkil but good for Joyo.

PULAU LINA
Lina lies in a body of water protected by larger islands. To date, we have long-term plans to build accommodation in this island. The small beach faces west and is ideal for a late afternoon visit. Again - better accessed from Joyo. Good sunset beach and sheltered.

PULAU MAPUR
Mapur is well known to the diving community. It is the biggest ‘offshore’ island in the Bintan group. Parts of Mapur can be seen from Pangkil. We are familiar with the best beaches there and have long-term plans for Songsing which is two k long and Bamboo Bay. A day trip.
