The Rhythm

Move with the coast.

Out with the people who have worked this coast all their lives.

The stories

A morning, an evening, an open stretch of water.

Three things this coast does that you can be part of. Each has its own page and its plain facts; where a price is confirmed, it is right there too.

How a day out works

Someone checks the sea first.

A small team monitors the conditions daily, arranges the boats, dives and drivers, and helps you understand the rhythm of the coast.

The sea decides, so a day can move. Tell us what you would like and ask the concierge about a boat, a guide or a driver.

When the sea decides

The boats go out when the sea allows it. If a trip cannot go ahead as planned, nothing is pre-arranged in its place: ask the concierge, and something else can usually be found on the day.

A wooden jukung being pushed out through the surf by hand

Every boat here leaves the same way, pushed out through the surf by hand, when the sea allows it.

Sleep fifty to eighty metres from where the boats leave.

Eleven canvas lodges on the shore at Tianyar, about three hours north of the airport. Enquiring costs nothing, and commits you to nothing.
