To get to the Selat Mendana Floating Chalets, one will have to go by boat.
Things To Do
There are quite a few things that one can do here such as island cruise with a bit of snorkelling at a rocky outcrop type of island, jetski rental, karaoke, and even a swimming pool. One of the unique things to do here is to hunt for dog conchs (locally known as siput gong gong) a species of edible sea snail.
The main highlight here is fishing. You can bring your own fishing tackle of you could rent one here. It is said that fishing is pretty good. The normal catches are various catfish species such as estuarine catfish (ikan duri) and eel tail catfish or ikan sembilang (Plotosus canius). But the bonus catch here is barramundi (ikan siakap).
