We woke up quite early that morning and headed out at 6am because they told us the boats would be waiting for us at 8am at Palm Beach Resorts, Sematan. 

But when we got there, the boats were not able to run yet because of low tide and we had to wait it out for just a while.
I was the only person with sports shoes on on the beach :/ because my dad told us that we might go jungle trekking and I thought might as well wear to the village and directly go trekking. But I ended up taking my shoes off half way to the boats because I knew they were going to get wet and I couldn't find my sandals. 

The journey from Sematan to Telok Melano took us around 40 minutes and we had three speed boats take us there. I was so afraid that I might drop my phone and camera into the ocean and I'll never ever see them ever again. 

Halfway to Telok Melano we passed by a sea turtle but we were going too fast to see it and too far to turn back. 

No words can describe how beautiful the place is. White sandy beaches and clean clear ocean water. A hidden gem in Sarawak. 

This was our homestay for the night. The hosts stayed on the ground floor and we stayed at the 1st floor. The management of Palm Beach Resorts helped arranged lunch and dinner to be provided for us. 

Phone services are very restricted and in some location you'll have very low signal and some places totally no signal at all. Something we didn't expect was power restriction. You'll only have electricity from 6pm till 2am and at a certain time in the morning which means that we'll only have wi-fi at that certain times. 

Lunch by our gracious hosts. 

After lunch we all headed jungle trekking from the fishing village to Tanjung Aru. We had a guide lead the way since there was no trail and you would likely get lost without one. 

The trial is around 4km but it literally took us almost 3 hours to reach our destination.
