Fort Marlborough, also known as Benteng Marlborough, is a star-shaped former British fort located in Bengkulu. Built between 1714 and 1720 by the East India Company, it replaced an earlier fort called Fort York. Despite being in an earthquake-prone area, the fort remains remarkably well-preserved with thick walls arranged in a star shape and surrounded by dry moats.
Beautiful site. Full of historical story about Bengkulu when British and Holland invade them. Nice place to study and enjoy Bengkulu
Rosa I — Google review
If you love history and/or the colonial story of the English and Dutch in this part of the world then definitely go here. The fort is well maintained and there is a private tourguide who gives excellent information. Inside the fort you can freely walk around and also go up to the walls from where you have a beautiful view over the city and a little bit the ocean. One thing the museum could improve is to provide English speaking guides and English written information. Everything is in Bahasa Indonesia and clearly not prepared for international visitors. Other than that we enjoyed the tour.

Nice old British fort in the center of the old town of Bengkulu - staff is helpful (Indonesian only) and they have nice exposition rooms inside the fort - unfortunately only in Indonesian. Entry price is 5k/person (2021) and you can freely walk around in/on the whole fort.

Rumah Pengasingan Bung Karno, also known as Bung Karno's Exile House, is a well-preserved historical site in Bengkulu, Indonesia. It was the residence of President Sukarno during his exile by the Dutch colonial government in the 1940s. The house consists of a main building and a guesthouse, with various rooms used for different purposes.
Insightful place to know better President Soekarno as a person and how his learnings/reflection during the exile helps him shaping the vision he about to bring out for Indonesia's independence. The place is well preserved and clean. Quite affordable ticket price

This place is one of the house that being situated for politically exiled person. In this case, Soekarno, one of the founding fathers of Indonesia, had live in this place after being exiled by the Netherland. I love how the recent rennovation with the place create a fresh new color and aura, in which invites you to come (: The museum operator and maintenance team had done a good job, starting from the ticket-person, security (which sometimes they guide you around), also the gardener. Inside, you can found many artifacts, including books made by Soekarno. Although, I hope they digitized the book and let us read it there. But more than that, you could also find some history of one of Indonesian founding fathers. Place it together, and you will find that Bengkulu had been one place that shape Republic of Indonesia's first president.
John J — Google review
This place might be small, but rich in history. You can learn what Soekarno did while he was exiled in Bencoolen. This is not the exact replica of how the house looked like back then because some part of the house is curated to be museum. But you can still feel the magical atmosphere of it. There is also an old well in the backyard that still in function. The myth says if you wash your face using the water from the well, you can stay young and will get the charisma of Soekarno. Well, it is yours to believe 😋 All in all, this site is worth the visit! The ticket price is so affordable ranging from Rp5k-Rp10k only. I recommend you take the guide to tell the full history and do come in the morning, simply because the sky is so blue and it is more beautiful than in the afterrnoon. I know because I visited this place two times, one in the morning around 8 AM and one in the afternoon around 4 PM. I didn't attach the photos or videos inside the house, so you can witness the magic on your own! 😉

Bung Karno’s exile home (Rumah Pengasingan Bung Karno) is located on Jalan Jeruk – later renamed Jalan Soekarno-Hatta, in the Gading Cempaka District, Bengkulu City. Bung Karno’s exile home in the town of Bengkulu measures roughly 162 square meters. It is a simple, rectangular house with plain walls, a high pyramid-shaped roof and a spacious yard. The main doors are double leaf with ornate window grills. It is not known when the house was first constructed, but it is estimated to have been built in the early 20th century.

Domestic airport
Nestled just 14 kilometers south of the charming city of Bengkulu, Fatmawati Soekarno Airport serves as a vital gateway for travelers. Since 2016, it has offered daily direct flights from Jakarta and connections to other cities like Palembang and Batam. While this small airport is in the process of modernizing itself with hopes for international flights, its compact size means quick access to luggage and easy navigation through its facilities.
A nice and small domestic airport that revives to modernize itself and go international. The building is not too big but its public service facilities, such as waiting rooms and toilets, are quite complete and clean. The prayer hall inside the terminal building needs to be enlarged. Hopefully, when the new building is completed, it will be equipped with an jet bridge, so that passengers don't get caught in the rain when getting out of the plane and entering the terminal building.

A small airport, almost like an airstrip. That would reduce time to walk around while taking the luggage after our arrival here. Additional point, very simple. Arrive, take the luggage, and go out. However, there's no direct flight from pekanbaru to this airport so it would be complicated once the first flight got delayed. I thought SSK II in Pekanbaru is the smallest, yet in turns out this Airport is much smaller.

Pantai Linau, situated in Desa Linau, Kecamatan Majen, Kaur, South Bengkulu, is a stunning beach with white sand and clear blue waters. It's a picturesque spot for walking along the shore or simply relaxing and taking in the mesmerizing view. The beach offers opportunities for photography, snorkeling, and sunbathing.
Linau beach is located in Desa Linau, kecamatan Majen, Kaur, South Bengkulu. The beach is right on the right side of the road if you are driving from Bengkulu. It takes about 5-6 hours driving from Bengkulu. The beach is really beautiful! The sand is white. The water is clear and blue. It's so mesmerizing! You can walk or just sit on the sand and enjoy the beautiful view right in front of you. Taking pictures or selfies. Listening to songs of the waves crashing the shore. But, it's not suggested to swim in this beach because the undercurrent and also the big wave. It's dangerous. No entry ticket is needed. Unfortunately, there are many street vendors making their stall right along the road and they block the view from the street and also garbage can be spotted in some corners. I give 5 stars to this review because the beach is worth that much despite the littering part.

Linau beach is one of the most exotic beaches in Bengkulu province. It offers some good spots for beach photography, snorkeling and catching some rays on the beach. There are small roadside shops nearby for supplies at reasonable prices. However, it still takes quite an effort to get to Linau beach from the city of Bengkulu. Foreign tourists tend to get stared at by the locals as only few foreigners visit this beach.

Pantai Samudra Ujung is a secluded beach located on the southern outskirts of Bengkulu, offering a serene and relaxing atmosphere. While the rough waters make it unsuitable for swimming, they create ideal conditions for surfing, making it a hidden gem for experienced surfers seeking quiet surf spots. The beach is not well-maintained and lacks popularity among both locals and tourists, providing an escape from crowded and lively beaches.
beautiful beach and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, whose beauty is threatened due to the construction of the Sepang Bay coal power plant
M M — Google review
Samudra Ujung beach is not convenient, rarely suitable for swimming, and much less popular with locals and foreign tourists than other Bengkulu beaches. If you’re the kind of person who really likes crowded and popular lively beaches, then this beach is not the right one for you. But if you’re into surfing, then this beach is probably the best place to come if you’re looking for quiet great surf spots in Bengkulu. This beach is a nice escape and a truly hidden gem for experienced surfers. Samudra Ujung beach is strongly recommended for surfers. Plenty of good waves break on the reefs, including “long lefts and rights”. Early or late in the day on a mid to high tide will be the best time for a surf when the swell gets bigger. So far, only a few local or foreign surfers come to surf here. If you want to try to surf here, it will be a frustrating trip taking a non-chartered car. It will be easier to get here by paying more for a chartered angkot (city public transport) for Rp 80,000 or around US$ 6 (return trip). Keep in mind, don't get into the vehicle until you've agreed on a fare you are comfortable paying, and even better pay from your stack of smaller bills so that the driver will not owe you any change. There is no hotel or food stall nearby the surf spots, so bring your own food, drink and gears! No entrance fee, except on Eid al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha holidays, visitors are charged by the locals for Rp. 1,000 per person. #Letsguide #surfspot #hidden

(Translated by Google) The road access here is still very damaged, and the beach isn't busy yet, it's still very natural... even though the beach is really nice and wide, so it's suitable for those who like surfing, try it if you're a foreign tourist, if you know this place, it must have become a favorite place.

You can enter the car, it's a bit off-road, it's recommended that you don't get a sedan because you're afraid it will get stuck. There is no Tour Manager.

Dendam Tak Sudah Lake, also known as A Neverending Grudge Lake, is a serene spot with a poignant legend. Despite its ominous name, the lake offers peaceful surroundings and stunning views. Visitors can enjoy leisurely activities like boating and fishing while taking in the mesmerizing reflection of the surrounding greenery on the water. Although located near a busy road, it's best to visit early in the morning for tranquility and clear views of mountains with clouds hanging beautifully in the sky.

This place is actually very beautiful. Unfortunately, some local people sell some random stuffs across the street and they sometimes litter on the lake. I don't recommend you to buy food there since the price is much more expensive than the normal price. However, this place is still worth to visit. One more thing, there is a rare variety of orchids called 'Anggrek Pensil'(Vanda hookeriana) which grows around the lake!
Dian P — Google review
This lake is actually a calming beautiful lake if only it's not located right by the side of a busy road. I personally prefer to enjoy this lake early in the morning when the street is not too busy, so I can enjoy the lake with its serenity and fresh air. In the morning, when the sky clear, you can see mountains with clouds hanging beautifully on the eastern sky. To enjoy the lake, you can sit on chairs provided by the street vendors or just do a quick stop and stand few minutes and go. If you choose to sit, you have to buy drinks or snacks like fresh coconut, sodas, grilled corn, etc but the price will be more expensive than any other places in town.

This octagon-shaped monument is worth a visit because of the historic value. The monument was established in 1808 as a reminder of the death of an assassinated British governor in Bencoolen, Thomas Parr, and today it still stands strong. The monument is composed of three arched doorways, a doom and six Corinthian columns in reference to ancient Rome and Greece. It is located at the meeting point of Jl. Ahmad Yani and Jl. Mazairi, very close from the Fort Marlborough. No entrance fee. I greatly appreciate efforts made by the authorities for paying proper attention and saving this monument from ruining away.

The food was okay. I ordered the ikan bakar and cah kangkung. The staff was pretty attentive and helpful. It also has a plenty of parking lot and a nice view. I was the only guest there. So even if there were staff, the interior looked rusty and old adding to the uncomfortable feeling. Maybe a rebranding or renovation will be so much better. Keep doing great Aloha!

Aloha Resto is one resto located right across the beach that serve national and western foods with decent taste , nice ambiance for youngsters, professionals and family with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is in English so it's good for the westerners to get better descriptions of the foods and drinks. The price is average for some and quite expensive for the rest. Beer and wifi are available. Overall it's nice resto but need to improve the service. The waiters had to back and forth to confirm of the availability of our order.

Nice location by the beach and a good western menu but the service is awful and the food is just ok. We had to ask for a menu even though 4 or 5 staff were standing around. My husband had to get his own knife and fork and he had finished his meal by the time mine arrived. The menu said the fish and chips came with salad, which it didn't. When we asked, the waiter said the sauce was the salad??? And my pizza when it did arrive was not properly cooked - the dough still soft. All in all, disappointing.

Museum was dark with few lights. Display cases had dirty glass. Except for a few signs near front entrance, Bahasa Indonesia is only language on display. The large glass doors were chained shut which made for a fire hazard. Since air conditioning was turned off it was very hot inside. There is a long exterior stairway to get to front entrance. To see all exhibits it is necessary to negotiate two more stairways in both directions. The staff was laughing at me as I left in frustration. (No I am not making this up)

The provincial museum, Musium Negeri Propinsi Bengkulu is worth a visit because of the historic and cultural value. The museum features a large display of interesting traditional costumes, housing, implements, and other geological and archaeological items. In my mind, this museum has interesting histories to inspire and educate visitors. I hope the local government can provide a web page for this museum to show more people what this museum has to offer. The museum is conveniently located on Jl. Pembangunan No.8 Padang Harapan, and it has easy parking. It is open daily from Tuesday to Friday - 8 am to 3 pm, and it is closed on Sundays, Mondays, Saturdays and public holidays. Entry costs Rp. 2,500 per person. Con: it will be a challenging visit for foreign visitors as English speaking guide is rarely available.

Pindang 77 Bengkulu City Bengkulu February 2020 Tempoyak Pindang Kepala Patin for 35 K IDR++ Various sources who do not know each other all pointed to this place as the best pindang place in town, so i had to give it a try. Admittedly this is the freshest patin (Pangasius) i have ever had and I guess in that light they did work with it magnificently, but what this meant is that the pindang broth itself should not overpower the fish. And overpower it did not - the broth was nice and subtle, but that's exactly my beef with it - that it was a bit too soft and subtle in regards to its flavour profile. Perhaps i am a bit more used to other pindangs in which the strength of the yellow broth is essential in imparting its flavours into whatever was cooked in it, but i really could have used some more heat and spiciness. Even the tempoyak (sambal made with fermented durian) became more of a subtle aftertaste rather than the strong pungency i have come to expect out of the namesake. But i guess this then probably becomes a good way to introduce both pindang and tempoyak to those who prefers a softer palate. The 8 K++ for 4 fried tempeh was quite okay for that price. The 15 K++ cah kangkung was also quite ample and nice, but i have a suspicion they cheated a bit. Sadly the 12 K++ avocado juice was too watered down and the 7 K++ for a portion of rice also kinda hurts. However, on its own 35 K++ for such a huge piece of really fresh fish is amazing value for money. I know this is kind of the boondocks, but this is definitely worth a visit if you're ever in the area. #good #food #in #bengkulu #indonesia #pindang #tempoyak #durian #worth

People with a taste for tasty bakso (meatball soup) should head to Warung Bakso Arema Cak Brewok. It is a simple and clean eatery, serving excellent Malang meatball soup, chicken noodles, cold soft drinks, and icy fresh fruit juices locally known as “es juice”. Bakso Arema Cak Brewok is considered the best bakso in town and a place to satisfy bakso cravings. It has a reputation for serving tasty bakso better than anyone else in Bengkulu. As this place is often packed with bakso fans, the food is cooked and eaten quite quickly and is not reheated. New menus: Ayam Pedas and Nila Sambal Rampai. Keep up with tasty bakso!

For day 4, these 5 places should be enough to fill your day with something exciting to do in Bengkulu. Start the day with Pantai Tapak Paderi and make your way through the city to get to Pantai Sungai Suci. This should take about 8 hours of your day.

Pantai Tapak Paderi

4.4
(437)
Pantai Tapak Paderi, located in Bengkulu City, has a unique historical significance as it was once the landing site for exiled Paderi Tribe. The beach features a long stretch of white and brownish sandy coastline with a protected cove at its southern end, making it an ideal spot to witness breathtaking sunsets. Additionally, the area is home to historical remnants of Fort Marlborough, adding cultural value to the natural beauty.
What an upgrade! Take time to visit while in Bengkulu.

Tapak Paderi Beach is located in Bengkulu City which is located at Kebun Keling, Kec. Pls. Segara, Bengkulu City, Bengkulu 38115. The marine beauty of Tapak Paderi Beach is covered in historical value. As far as 200m, there are historical remains of Fort Marlborough, making this beach not just an ordinary tourist attraction. Tapak Paderi Beach is directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean and has a long coastline that adds to the charm of the beauty of this beach. This beach, which is geographically a bay, has a fairly shallow depth, making Tapak Paderi Beach a water tourism attraction that is safe for all ages. So that makes Tapak Paderi beach suitable for the development of surfing activities or what is also called surfing. This beach has potential wave spots suitable for beginners that must be tried for tourists who want to try, what it's like to surf on the waves. Tapak Paderi Beach, which is commonly called Bengkulu Point surfers, this beach has a concrete breakwater, which is called the local community. The charm of the sunset on this beach is fairly beautiful. The area around the beach is also clean with fine sand texture. Apart from the amazing sunset views on this beach, it turns out that Tapak Paderi is also a beginner class surfing destination in Bengkulu City. The wave conditions here, which reach three to four meters, are perfect for surfers of all levels. While surfing on the waves, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the green mountains and the cool breeze. The right time for surfers to visit this beach is from May to December. Because at that time the weather and waves were considered ideal for surfing. But in other months, between January and April, although you can't surf, the beauty and charm of Tapak Beach is very interesting for visits and tourist holidays to unwind your daily activities. Another unique phenomenon that can be explored here is the moment when 1,000 baby turtles were released by Marine Natural Resources for the Nation (LATUN). This beach is preferred as an attractive family tourist destination, it is also a favorite place to enjoy the sunset and sunrise and the typical beach breeze, take pictures, play sand, sunbathe, and so on.

Located near the Fort Marlborough historical site of Bengkulu. Best to bring young children here or to take a rest under a tree shades. Not so attractive compared with what you can see along Pantai Panjang.
Rezare A — Google review
Tapak Padri (sometimes written Paderi) beach is located near the fort Marlborough and is easy to reach by angkot (public city transport). It is a nice place to wind down a few hours to talk to the locals and to watch the sun set. Sometimes it is possible to surf here at high tight. The swimming here is not too bad. Tapak Padri beach is crowded with young locals and street vendors on weekends and public holidays. Local surf community members could be found here at 4 to 6 P.M. From Tapak Padri beach you can get to most the nearby tourist attractions on foot.

(Translated by Google) Bengkulu Ark Festival, an annual event celebrated from 1-10 Muharram. The night market is always busy. Many sell clothes, accessories, food and drinks, etc... Usually come here while taking the family for a walk around Bengkulu City. Fun, exciting, crowded, even though in 2024 it looks like the crowd level will decrease.

(Translated by Google) Bengkulu's annual folk festival. Various kinds of snacks and necessities were sold during the event. Many are cheap and some are expensive too. But as long as you can stand around to see the event, you will be aware of the magnitude of this event. Before closing there were telong-telong and Tabot Besanding which residents were eagerly waiting for. Unfortunately, rubbish is scattered everywhere. Poor cleaning staff work hard, especially when it rains. (Original) Festival tahunan rakyat Bengkulu. Berbagai macam jajanan dan kebutuhan di jual selama acara. Banyak yang murah2 dan agak mahal juga. Tapi asal tahan keliling melihat acara maka akan sadar melihat besarnya acara ini. Sebelum penutupan ada telong-telong dan Tabot Besanding yang sangat di tunggu2 warga. Sayangnya sampah berserakan dimana-mana. Kasihan petugas kebersihan kerja berat, apalagi kalau hujan.

(Translated by Google) A festival that is always looked forward to and never missed. For years, this festival and bazaar was held in Merdeka Square and the area around the Chinese village. However, it is a bit different in 2022, the bazaar is called the Muharram festival and is held at the sports center. It's okay, because the excitement of this bazaar has been absent for 2 years since Corona. Talking about the Ark festival in the year before Corona, it is guaranteed that it was always busy, whether it was day or night. Because the location is close to home, I can come to this festival for ten days, even if it's just to look around. The streets are always busy and congested. Especially when night falls, the tabut besanding and telong-telong are very beautiful with colorful lights. If you come during the dumping of the ark, please be patient and pay attention to your steps because you will definitely be crowded. If you're from Bengkulu, you should have already been to the Tabut Festival, right? So, if you want to invite people from outside Bengkulu, Tabut is highly recommended. (Original) Festival yang selalu dinanti-nanti dan enggak pernah absen dikunjungi. Selama bertahun-tahun, festival dan bazar ini dilaksanakan di lapangan merdeka dan area sekitar kampung china. Namun agak berbeda untuk tahun 2022, bazarnya dinamakan festival muharram dan dilaksanakan di sport center. It's okay, karena kemeriahan bazar ini sudah absen 2 tahun sejak corona. Berbicara festival tabut di tahun sebelum corona, dipastikan selalu ramai, mau itu siang ataupun malam. Karena lokasi dekat rumah, saya bisa sepuluh hari datang ke festival ini, walaupun cuma untuk melihat-lihat. Jalanan selalu ramai dan padat. Terutama ketika malam tiba, tabut besanding dan telong-telong sangat cantik dengan lampu warna-warni. Kalau datang saat pembuangan tabut, harap sabar dan perhatikan langkah karena pasti akan berdesakan. Kalau kamu orang bengkulu, mestinya sudah pernah datang ke festival tabut bukan? Nah, kalau kamu mau ajak jalan orang luar bengkulu, saat tabut sangat direkomendasikan.

The British Colonial Cemetery

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Cemeteries
Nestled in the quiet back lanes of Bengkulu, The British Colonial Cemetery, or Makam Inggris, serves as a poignant reminder of the lives lost to diseases like malaria and cholera during colonial times. This historic site is one of the oldest cemeteries in the area and features remarkable architecture that reflects its rich past. Although hundreds were laid to rest here over the centuries—including four children of Sir Stamford Raffles—only about 50 graves remain visible today, many lacking inscriptions.
Great architecture
Zoa F — Google review
The graves in the British Cemetery in Bengkulu are pieces of history that will tell us about bitter conditions and experiences linked to the British East India Company and deaths of hundreds of British Bencoolen inhabitants who were affected by the Bencoolen resistance movements and fatal diseases during the British colonial rule in Bencoolen (now known as Bengkulu). In contrast to the Fort Marlborough which is always in excellent condition, this British colonial cemetery seems to have been allowed to fall into a sad condition. Sunken, tilting gravestones, damaged inscriptions hold almost all the remains of British residents. Don’t be surprised when you visit this site and see laundry covering and choking the gravestones and leaving you with the impression you're in something of a large open laundry, not a cemetery. The relevant departments and the locals need to keep the cemetery safe from dangerous conditions and criminal violations, so Bengkulu's past can be maintained.

Batu Tahu Beach

4.6
(107)
Batu Tahu Beach is situated just a few meters away from Pantai Tapak Paderi in Bengkulu. While there's no entrance fee, visitors need to pay for parking. The beach features cube-shaped rocks that serve as a barrier against erosion, making it an ideal spot to witness stunning sunsets. It's recommended to visit in the afternoon when you can enjoy the nice waves and take in the great views while waiting for the sunset.
Great view
Rachmat — Google review
Batu Tahu is located fee meters from Pantai Tapak Paderi. To enter this attraction there is no ticket required but only paying the parking fee. Actually there is nothing really special about this place, just rocks shaped in cube to prevent abrasion. But this spot is one of perfect spots to capture beautiful sunsets. You can just sit on the rocks or on the concrete wall while waiting for the sun to set. So, the perfect time to visit this place is in the afternoon. If you drive a motorcycle, you can ride it right to the spot but if you are going on a car, you have to park your car for about 100 meters from the spot,then walk to the spot.

Pantai Sungai Suci

Beach
Nestled in the heart of Central Bengkulu, Pantai Sungai Suci is a stunning beach that captivates visitors with its natural beauty. Located in Pasar Pedati Village within the Pondok Kelapa District, this coastal gem is just 15 kilometers from Bengkulu City. Despite its name suggesting a river, it boasts a picturesque shoreline adorned with soft sand and breathtaking views of the vast ocean.
Location is easy to find. Great place to relax and have a fresh coconut. Sadly you cant swim in this area. The waves however big and can be dangerous. The bridge is so scary.

ZUPPA H — Google review
Sungai Suci Beach is located in Pasar Pedati Village, Pondok Kelapa District, Central Bengkulu Regency and is about 15 Km from the center of Bengkulu City. Even though the name contains the word river, this tourist attraction is not a river, but a coast that is equipped with a stretch of beach sand. These conditions will feel more beautiful when the evening comes when the sun sets which produces very beautiful color combinations to behold. In addition to the beauty of the sea water, this location also has a small island that can be crossed with a suspension bridge, which is made of rope and pieces of thick wooden planks. In addition to being able to go to beautiful locations, this can also test the adrenaline of those who pass through it.

Bakso Arema Rizki 1 is a must-visit spot for meatball lovers in Bengkulu. This bustling eatery features long bench tables, making it a lively place to enjoy your meal, especially if you arrive early to avoid the crowds. For just Rp15,000 per bowl, you can savor their delicious bakso with a delightful surprise of egg inside. Don't miss out on trying their refreshing es teler as well—perfect for cooling off on hot days!

It had the crowd, but the taste wasn't my liking and the food wasn't warm. My unpleasant experience was mostly because of their poor service. They didn't give us the correct order. They forgot to serve us water and our drink order, so we serve ourselves by getting bottled tea from softdrinks selves. The staff wasn't friendly too.

Visited this before our flight and i was quite disappointed. We ordered 3 fried rice but they only delivered 1. To make it worse, our fried kwetiaw literally taste bland. Not even less salty, this is totally bland so i had to put the salt and some msg that they provide on the table. Their pempek still as good as ever but i recalled last time they usually ask if we want our pempek fried or not but this time they don't even asked. We also need to repeat our order several times to the server before they eventually served us. What a pity. The owner is lovely and friendly tho. They eventually asked us if we want to wait for the rest of our order but too bad we can't afford to miss our flight just to wait for that.

(Translated by Google) A day trip to Tikus Island at an "affordable" rate is truly a pleasant experience. The ship's facilities are quite large but there is a squeaking sound from the kreteks, but it still looks sturdy. Arriving at the island, you are immediately served tea and coffee as well as relaxing chairs. Unfortunately, the management does not utilize their free time from landing on the island to snorkeling with group activities. JD visitors are looking for their own activities. There are those who take advantage of it by swimming, fishing or just looking for the best photo spots, where there are so many interesting photo spots to upload on social media. Lunch for those who take the inclusive lunch package is given in the form of rice with chicken + vegetables and tempeh/tofu which is quite delicious. If you need Pop Mie or hot water, the employees provide services. When the snorkeling session arrives, visitors are equipped with swimming goggles and shoes, because to get to the photo location, visitors have to walk in the receding sea, equipped with tires for grip. It was tense when leaving because the water had not yet receded so the sea current was still quite strong. However, all the tension was paid off with two photo spots with cute and beautiful fish. Suggestion : 1. There are games to wait for snorkeling time 2. Prepare a small boat to go to the photo spot (Original) Wisata seharian di pulau tikus dengan tarif yang "terjangkau" sungguh pengalaman menyenangkan. Fasilitas kapal yang cukup besar namun ada bunyi kretek2 berdecit, tapi tetap terlihat kokoh. Sampai Di pulau lgsg disuguhkan teh dan kopi serta kursi santai. Sayangnya pengelola kurang memanfaatkan waktu luang dari mendarat di pulau sampai waktu snorkeling dengan kegiatan bersama. JD pengunjung mencari kegiatan sendiri2. Ada yg memanfaatkan dengan langsung berenang, mancing atau sekedar mencari spot foto terbaik yang memang begitu banyak spot foto menarik untuk diunggah di medsos. Makan siang untuk yang mengambil paket include makan siang diberikan berupa nasi dengan lauk ayam + sayur dan tempe/tahu cukup enak. Jika butuh Pop Mie atau air panas, para karyawan menyediakan jasa menyediakan ya. Saat sesi snorkeling tiba, pengunjung dibekali kaca mata renang dan sepatu, karena untuk menuju lokasi foto, pengunjung harus berjalan di laut yang mulai surut, dibekali ban untuk pegangan. Menegangkan saat berangkat karena air belum terlalu surut sehingga arus laut masih cukup deras. Namun semua ketegangan terbayarkan dengan dua spot foto bersama ikan2 lucu dan cantik. Saran : 1. Diadakan games untuk menunggu waktu snorkeling 2. Disiapkan perahu kecil untuk menuju spot foto

Panorama resto Bengkulu is a popular dining spot known for its delicious food and generous portions. Many consider it to be better than other local eateries, particularly when it comes to the quality of the food. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including homey Chinese cuisine at fair prices. It's also praised for being halal and affordable, making it a great choice for those looking for tasty meals without breaking the bank.
This place is one of my favorites in Bengkulu. The food is always delicious and the portions are good. Dare I say it’s better than S Emas?!? Each has its strengths, but if I was basing it solely on food, Panorama would win more often I think. And the seledry juice is so delicious... Only negative point I’d say is it’s a bit warm inside. Great place for groups!

Great service and excellent seafood

Good fried squid! Decent other foods (3/5) Unfortunately everything else pales (from food-selection, drink selection, menu, place, ambience, etc.) It would get 3 stars if it is at a location without better options... But there are.

It's legendary place of pangsit (chicken noodle) in the city of Bengkulu. From a small shop grows to be few branches all over city. This picture is on Mahoni Street. It good for family since there is fish pond inside. Also some animal paintings on the wall.
