Satang Island is an excellent place to visit if you wish to escape in this tropical paradise. Departing from Kuching, you get to have a scenic boat ride. Going through the South China Sea to Satang Island, you will have a warm sun and a nice sea breeze.
Upon reaching the beachfront area, it is time to do snorkelling. There are a lot of underwater wonders, and many people enjoy it. Apart from that, there is also much marine life, like fish and sea turtles. As the day turns dark, it is time for dinner. Get the best seafood from Satang Island to relax yourself.
During your night stay at Satang Island, you will hear much birdsong in this paradise. After you get a good breakfast, you can tour the Satang Island Turtle Conservation Center. Learn about the island to protect sea turtle species and go snorkelling to swim together with the turtles. If you do not go underwater, you can rest and have fun on the beach.
Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh visited Sarawak's Talang Satang National Park in 2013, and named some of the hatcheries after her family members ie. Michelle Thompson,Caroline and Christian Hu Hu turtle hatcheries, while others were called Love, Prosperity, Longevity, and Peace.
According to her, conservation and protection of the world’s nature are shared responsibility of global citizens. Conservation and protection should be part of our lifestyle.
