Guests are always encouraged to visit the local school, health clinic or forestry department, as well as attend special ceremonies and festivals. We are also very proud of our School Scholarship Fund. This is a low-beauracracy, direct action approach to helping young people in the surrounding community. In exchange for sponsorship, students participate in environmentally-focused activities for half a day every Saturday. Traditional dugout canoe safaris to a remote natural hot springs are also available in good weather conditions.
Accommodation is provided in traditionally thatched burnt mud brick chalets.
All are spacious and comfortable with double beds, romantic bamboo framed mosquito nets, and private verandas overlooking the turquoise lake and tropical gardens. All chalets have been individually designed and have special character. Guests can choose a chalet in a secluded, wooded nook, right on the beach or tucked away near the bamboo grove not far from the unique shared Balinese-style ablution facilities. This includes personalized instruction, four nights accommodation, all meals, daily boat transfers to dive sites, use of equipment and manuals, and PADI registration fees.
