      \n
    • Unwind by the sea \u2013 <\/strong>Soft sand, turquoise water and very few other travellers. This is slow travel at its best.\n<\/li>\n
    • Explore with your lodge \u2013 <\/strong>Lodges can arrange snorkelling, surfing, village walks or boat trips. Just check what’s on offer when you arrive.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

        To: Manja<\/h2> \t

        Distance & time<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Approx. 210 km | around 8 hours<\/p>\n

        Route<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • It’s a rough dirt track through no-man’s land. <\/li>\n
        • Expect about 6 hours of driving, plus extra time for the ferry crossing at the Bevoay River.<\/li>\n
        • A dam is under construction, but not yet usable (understandable considering the remote location). Instead, you\u2019ll cross via local treetrunk ferries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Ferry fees depend on your negotiating skills, but should not exceed \u20ac60 per car.<\/li>\n
          • Be prepared for some hustle at the ferry \u2014 locals may try to sell items or offer ferry services. Don\u2019t worry, they are friendly, just persistent!<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":170,"featured_media":1043,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-309","guide","type-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"feed_page_to_atlas":true},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide\/309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/guide"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/170"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide\/309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3038,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guide\/309\/revisions\/3038"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rta.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
