Why go
Why this island
Hammocks, no roads, unreliable electricity and reefs nobody has dived this month. Getting there is most of the story.
- Genuinely off the network — days of overland travel in each direction.
- Bajau sea-gypsy villages built entirely over water.
- Reef, atoll and volcanic islands in one small archipelago.
