Moreover, you can swim at the beach and diving or snorkeling to enjoy the bottom of the Malaka straits.
Berhala island is the of the turtle conservation so in this island we are able to see the turtle nesting directly. it will be the most unforgettable experience for your trip because if we see the turtle nesting in Java, Bali, or Lombok, that is an usual, but if you do that in Sumatera island, this is amazing! why?, because in Sumatera island, there aren't many place in Sumatera able to see the turtle nesting directly. it's RARE!.
How we can reach it?, from the capital city of North Sumatera "Medan", you can get there by a bus, and alight at the Sei Rampah Town, and than you should get there by Motorcycle taxi or you can rent a car to arrive at Tanjung Beringin, next, you can use the speed boat or fishing boat about 1-2 hours to arrive at the Berhala Island, during the trip to reach this island, your eyes and mind will be spoiled by the landscape and the native activity.
if you want use the tour and travel you can buy a tourism packet to explore this island local community that offered the cheap packet for 3D/2N for Rp. 400.000-Rp.500.000 or $40-50/person. the packet has include the transportation fee (Medan-Serdang Bedagai), the speed boat fee, accommodation, trip assurance, breakfast, lunch and dinner, taxes, tracking - snorkeling fee, bonfire and turtle nesting fee.
the weakness of this paradise is the accessibility and the accomodation
but the writer hope that the goverment of the North Sumatera will aware
about this island and make this island be the main destination in North
Sumatera.
"Tanah Bertuah, Negeri Beradat"
