You have time for shopping for snacks to take on your trip so let us know and will have your driver take you to a minimart. Dinner is your choice depending on where you elect to stay. Villa Air Manis rates include a home cooked meal. Seafood restaurants are great or you can eat at your city hotel.
At 8.00 pm you will be taken to our boarding area in Muara Harbor where our 45ft transfer boat will take you to Lautan Megah (she is too big to enter the river)
Aboard Lautan Megah you can enjoy a twilight beer or mixed drink or head straight for your air conditioned cabin below. Party with your friends in our huge rear deck saloon or catch up on some sleep...
