Fishing boats (jukung) lined up on the shore at first light on the coast near Tianyar, palms behind them
Sunrise or sunset · The sea

Two hours on the water, whichever light you choose.

The same jukung, the same fisherman, out at first light or as the sun goes down. A fruit box and drinking water aboard, nothing else.

Out at 06:00 for sunrise, or 17:30 for sunset. Two hours on the water.

A fruit box and drinking water are yours for the ride.

I · 06:00 or 17:30

You choose the light.

Out at 06:00 while the coast is still grey, or at 17:30 as the day cools. You decide when you ask.

II · Sunrise

The coast turns gold before the day gets going.

At 06:00 the sea is still and the light comes up slowly. You watch the coast wake up from the boat.

III · Sunset

Or you take the same water at the end of the day.

The 17:30 departure trades the still morning sea for the colour of the evening, the boat still on water lit gold.

IV · Aboard

A fruit box, water, and two hours to yourself.

No fishing gear on this trip, only a fruit box and drinking water for the ride. Two hours out, then back the way you came.

06:00 or 17:30

You choose the light.

Two departures, the same boat and the same fisherman: out at 06:00 while the coast is still grey, or at 17:30 as the heat comes off the day. Either way, you decide when you ask.

Sunrise

The coast turns gold before the day gets going.

Out on the water at 06:00, the sea is still and the light comes up slowly behind the hills. Nobody is in a hurry. You watch the coast wake up from a jukung, with fruit and water within reach.

Sunset

Or you take the same water at the end of the day.

The 17:30 departure trades the still morning sea for the colour of the evening: the sky turns and the jukung sits still on water that has taken on the same colour as the light. It is a shorter wait for the same view.

Aboard

A fruit box, water, and two hours to yourself.

There is no fishing gear on this trip, only a fruit box and drinking water for the ride. Two hours on the water, then back to the coast the way you came, whichever light you chose.

V · Back on the coast

Two hours out and back, whichever light you chose to see it in.

The canvas lodges are a short walk from where the boat comes in.
