Exploring Pramuka Island
What is the best attraction in the island? It is natural conservation of hawksbill sea turtle. Due to their small number, the locals take a good care of them. That means they have been protected over time. Tourists are allowed to visit the conservation and witness such exotic animals directly. The offspring is called Tukik. They are small and cute. It is even possible to touch them. One thing, you must clean your hands first. It is because bacteria can cause much harm to those valuable animals.
The best time to visit Pramuka Island is during the release of Tukik into the sea. That means those small turtles are ready to live a real life. It is a rare moment, so you must carry your camera. Once you have enjoyed a good time, it is time to go back to your room. As mentioned earlier, the island features good homestays. All of them offer comfortable amenities. For the best experience, you should rent the best room. In this case, make sure to carry lots of money.
Another interesting activity is sightseeing. Just because you want to enjoy Pramuka Island’s beauty, doesn’t mean you must spend lots of money. It is as simple as enjoying stunning views of the beach. If you want more challenging activities, you can do snorkeling or swimming. For those who look for casual activities, fishing and photography are recommended. In the evening, you can grill some fishes near to the beach. Isn’t that great?
