Other Things to Do in Tanjung Setia

If the swell is small, we’ll organize alternative activities to keep the adventure going. If the swell is good, there are plenty of options for you to explore on your own.

Tire Rafting in Biha

Experience the thrill of tire rafting down the lush rivers of Biha. Navigate through exciting rapids, surrounded by stunning jungle views. It’s a perfect way to embrace nature and relax.

Waterfall in Krui

Discover the hidden waterfalls near Krui, where you can cool off with a refreshing swim in crystal-clear pools. The natural beauty and peaceful surroundings make it a must-see when visiting the area.

Explore the rainforest on a jungle hike — only if the national park clears it due to recent tiger sightings. If safe, enjoy the wildlife and stunning views.

Jungle Hiking

Bali Village Tour

Just a few villages away lies a hidden pocket of Balinese culture in Sumatra. Many Balinese families migrated here years ago, bringing their traditions with them. The temples and puras you’ll see are unlike anything in Bali — raw, weathered, and beautifully adapted to their surroundings.

Spearfishing or Fishing Trip

Join the local boys for a spearfishing adventure — perfect for those who love the thrill of catching their own dinner (we make a mean BBQ after). Prefer something more laid-back? We can also arrange a traditional boat trip with local fishermen for a few hours of peaceful fishing out at sea — and if we’re lucky, we might even spot some dolphins along the way.

Banana Island Trip

Just a short boat ride away, Banana Island is a peaceful slice of paradise — despite the name, you won’t find any bananas here. What you will find are quiet beaches, swaying tea trees, cacao plants, and plenty of space to unwind under the sun.
