Beware - lots of sand-flies here.
Turtle conservation.
There's about 100 eggs in each of the 'net'.
This 'hole' is where the turtle lays the eggs, this one was about 2 weeks ago.
There are more turtles laying eggs in Talang Island as compared to Satang, Talang is a bit further up from Satang.
The facility in Satang Island is VERY basic, this island is own my Mr. Abu (Private property). RM120 is charged per person for 2D1N overnight here. This include the accommodation and also the boat ride.
Kayak and snorkeling gear are available for rental at RM15 each per person. Can do snorkeling around the area, nothing much to see, no coral reef here but
great for swimming coz there's not much wave at that time.

4pm - Arrived at Salak
Traditional Fishing Village for coffee break and photo taking. This is my 2nd time here, this kampung can be a unique experience for the tourist, but there's so much rubbish everywhere, which I find really an eyesore. They are about 100 families live in this kampung, they have a primary school up the hill.
5.30pm - Witness up-close on wildlife activities such as Proboscis monkey high up in the
forest canopy.
6.00pm - Visit a charcoal factory nearby.
6.30pm - Catching the
beautiful sunset from the boat.
7.30pm - proceed to Santubong wetlands for fireflies and crocodile watching by night. We were lucky to be able to see the fireflies that night, plus you can rarely see any fireflies during full moon night. Did not catch any photos, I think it is impossible to take a photos of fireflies in the wild at night, don't you think?
9.00pm - back to Kampung Telaga Air, bath, dinner.
9.30pm - Went to the balai (Community hall) for an evening cultural show by the locals - Bergendang & bertandak.
All in all, we had a great trip..
