Access Issue: Swedes and Monsoon Season Details

The island hosts a popular Swedish survival television series every March - May and the island is pretty much hands-off during filming.

The monsoon season shuts down all the resorts and bouldering from December - February.

June - November is the best time to come to Pulau Besar.

Description

The East Coast of Pualau Besar is where most of the island's boulders can be found. Split in to sections of beach and craggy coast line, you can spend your time wandering through both environments in search of problems. Or you can go bouldering.

Getting There

A foot-path through the jungle from the back of Aseania Resort seems to be the quickest way to get there. Head South once you meet the sea again and that's where you'll start seeing boulders.

A boat and captain can also be rented for an easier way to get there but I'm not sure if they can get you to the beaches at low-tide, which is when the bouldering is at it's best.
