How to get there?
Tikus Island or Rat Island is one of the primary tourism destination in Bengkulu area. Rat Island is located in the Indian Ocean, just 10 kilometers west of Bengkulu. Getting there takes about 1 hour by fishing boat from Tapak Paderi Beach, or 40 minutes by speed boat from the Pulau Baai Port.
What Activities to do?
Although relatively small, Rat Island holds great potential and promises a range of attractions and fun. The island’s natural and untouched beauty is amongst its main appeals, together with its crystal clear water and underwater landscapes.
Taking a peek beneath the glassy surface is a temptation that should not be resisted, so add snorkeling to your list of things to do. Admire the well-formed corals and swim among a host of cool and colorful fishes.
Grab your fishing rod and try your luck at a fresh fish from the sea for lunch or dinner.
If you wake up in the middle of the night, and your timing is perfect, and if you’re lucky, you may be able to catch a glimpse of the sea turtles making their way up the beach to lay their eggs. Witnessing this event is quite a rare experience.
