Daku Island
Daco Island
The largest of the three islands on the island-hopping tour, with coconut groves and white sand; a lunch stop where you can snorkel and surf.
Daku Island (meaning 'big island' in the local language) lies about 20 minutes by boat off GL. It is the largest stop on the three-island hopping tour, which also includes Naked Island and Guyam Island, and it is the only one with residents. Shaded by coconut palms and fringed with fine white sand, it is where tour boats usually stop for lunch. At beach huts you can order grilled fish and seafood, and surf breaks lie on the outer reef. Island-hopping boats leave from the GL pier, and you can share a boat or charter one. A small environmental fee is charged to land, with the exact amount posted on site. The midday sun is strong, so bring sunscreen.
