Avoiding the touristy feel in the more popular areas of the island, your adventure begins along a dirt path next to a waterway, leading you through villages that offer an authentic glimpse into rural life.

As you journey through this quieter part of the island, you’ll be inspired by the various communities and special bonds we have fostered with the locals.

Observe the rich diversity of our multicultural community, and absorb compelling stories about local culture, human migrations, history and industries – particularly those led by women.

You will stop at a rural fishing village, where you can take in the scent and colors, gaining valuable insights into local customs and economic activities. Mingle with locals over aromatic coffee or tea and savour delicious delicacies at a charming old coffee shop.

Immerse yourself in captivating stories as we stroll through the bucolic neighbourhood. Fascinating tales unfold at various locations as we pass small shops, a row of wooden storefronts, and visit a rural home.

Ride your bicycle toward the river mouth, bustling with trade activities, and explore the area on planks built over the water. Keep an eye out for local wildlife as you conclude your experience at Sungai Rusa.
