My First Trip to Pahawang Island

Last September, I went to Pahawang Island for a holiday. I went there with my best friends Atul, Andi, Mustofa, and Dedi. That was my first time to travel there.

Our bus departed from Metro City, Lampung at 8.00 AM. We arrived at Pahawang Island around 10.00 Am. After that, we went to our guest house that we had booked before. Fortunately, our guest house was located near to the port, so we did not have to walk so far. The first thing that we did after that was rent bicycle. It only cost IDR 20.000 per day. Then we did cycling for a while and had lunch before we decided to do snorkeling.

When we went snorkeling, the fisherman who became our guide brought us to the beach far enough from our guest house. We did snorkeling there. The water was very clear. We could see groups of tiny fishes and beautiful coral under the sea. After we did snorkeling for approximately three hours, we returned to our guest house. We ended up the first day by getting dinner and took some walks around.

On the second day, we woke up so early to watch sunrise. We did not need to go far to watch the sunrise because our guest house was so near to the beach and we could watch the sunrise there. Sunrise on the beach, what a beautiful view!

After we spent long enough time to watch the sunrise, we decided to get breakfast. There was a festival at that time. We went to the festival and had breakfast there. We ate some delicious sea foods. We felt time went so fast that day. We needed to return to our guest house because our bus that would bring us home would depart at 10.00 AM.

In summary, my first trip to Pahawang Island was so enjoyable. I would like to visit this place again together with my family in another chance.
