A boat ride to watch Proboscis monkey (huge-bellied, long-nosed primates with long white tail) is by taking the left view of the picture. It takes about 10-15 minutes ride along the river view. Usually they come out at arround 3.30 to 4.30 pm. They are still very wild and having difficulties to have a closure look.

The pictures of Beringgis Eco-Tourism Plateform and Jetty was taken during the low tide.

During the high tide, the water is just about the level of this plateform. Adjacent to this plateform, a natural landscape like a pool being identified and some major earth work and clearing has been done to suit for swimming pool. So during the high tide this pool would be full with river water. Kids would have fun swimming inside this pool while parents watching them from this plateform or facing the river view for doing fishing.

Look at those weekend activity of school going children and parent too were having fun doing fishing. This picture was taken during low tide view.
