Hidden jewel

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

Me and my partner are just back from an almost unreal holiday at Pulisan Jungle Beach Resort. This small, hidden jewel is very much off the track and still central enough to undertake day trips in the surroundings. We were the only guests as January is the wet season, so we were very priviledged to be the only ones to dive with Sonly, the inhouse instructor. This guy is absolutely amazing. Eyes like a hawk, he spots even the smallest, weird creature in its habitat, and very knowledgeable. He obviously prefers to be under water than on land. Like a dugong, a giant sea mammal we met during a dive off nearby Bangka island. We undertook a trip to neighboured Tangkoko jungle reserve to encounter black crested Sulawesi macaque and tiny primate Tarsiers which dwell in giant strangler fig trees. Well, we got a little bit of rain, too, during that trip, rainforest... And we had to skip a day tour to the volcanoes due to extensive rainfall in the mountains, but that’s on the program for our next visit to Pulisan. The food is too delicious not to go once again.
