Glammed camping, staff is the best!”

Sleeping in tents with bed! Waking up to. Chirping birds and sound of water surrounding mangroves. If you want to see turtle hatchlings without the hassle of other tourist crowds then book walai penyu resort. I liked having pleasant conversations with the staff from trekker's lodge and the honorary warden. Food is fantastic! Please bring mosquito repellent and portable fans as it can be warm in the tent at night. If you have a great sense of adventure the rain in the island at night or early morning can be a good experience. Peaceful vacation! Also recommends hiking towards the village in the island. :) Kudos to the staff here! Cheers!

Very good”

Accurate description of Camp Site rather than a Resort. Fantastic efforts managing the release of turtles while allowing tourists to also view the process. A wonderful wild place. Yes camping. Take snacks. Take sunblock, mossie repellant, drinks, portable fan if possible......tents are comfortable but VERY hot. Loved the experience

保护海龟，还需要更多努力”

这个度假村由大概10顶帐篷、一个海边餐厅和海龟孵育场组成。我们去的那天傍晚带着宝宝放生了小海龟，看着他们游向大海，这是最美好的时刻。餐厅的美食可口，服务人员很赞。晚上等待海龟上岸，可惜没有等到。帐篷很好，只是没有蚊帐和风扇，周围免不了有小昆虫。至于浮潜，海滩很浅，也没啥看的，可以忽略不提。从码头到海岛的来回船费320RM，由游客负担，没有想通这点。这是一个保护海龟的公益项目，很敬佩岛上工作人员为此所做出的努力，应当想法让更多人知道这个海岛，一起支持和保护海龟。
