Two full days
This plan adds a second outing to 3D2N. Choose west plus east or snorkeling. For all three on separate days, stay 5D4N.
Stay in one hotel
For three nights, one hotel saves time on bags and transfers. Compare Toyapakeh or Ped for convenient arrivals and food, Sampalan or Batununggul for the eastern side, and Crystal Bay for beach evenings.
Day 1: arrive and settle in
Meet your driver, check in, and eat near the hotel. A nearby walk, beach visit, or sunset is enough. Confirm pickup for tomorrow.
Day 2: the west coast
Visit Kelingking viewpoint, Broken Beach, and Angel’s Billabong. Add Crystal Bay if there’s time. If you want the Kelingking beach descent, cut other stops and allow for the climb back.
Day 3: east coast or snorkeling
East coast
Start early for Thousand Islands, Rumah Pohon, and Diamond or Atuh. Choose one beach descent.
Snorkeling
Confirm the meeting point, equipment, guide, and flotation. Let the operator choose suitable sites for the conditions. Wildlife sightings aren’t guaranteed. Swap the water day with the land day if needed.
Day 4: breakfast and departure
Have breakfast and a short local outing if there’s time. Leave for the correct harbour with room for traffic and check-in. Don’t add a remote beach before your boat.
If plans change
Drop the last stop when traffic is slow. Skip a beach descent if you’re tired. If snorkeling can’t run, take a land day or rest; don’t force both outings into the remaining hours.
Stairs and rest
Choose upper viewpoints if steep stairs won’t suit your group. Take water and meal breaks. See the accessibility guide before booking.
Book the details
Choose a stay, arrange transport, check the map and weather. Stay 5D4N if you want both coasts and snorkeling.
