Peucang island with two big bungalowsis 90 kms by the sea from carita 2-3 hrs by fast boat or5-6 hrs by slow boat.but presently the best visitor accomodation in the park.The bungallows face a green sward grazed by rusa deer and frequently by marauding monitor lizards and shy long tail macaques.It is an unusual experience in this part of the world to be able to see animals easily from varandah.Peucang is only about 2 km across,a short walk to the other sides through the pleasent open forest of tall trees"uncluttered"in comparison to the peninsula because of the browsing deer and the relative absence of palm.From peucang island
