We wake up early taking the boat to the mouth of the Setiu River but this time to the northern side of the mouth. We continue to walk northward and survey this beach for turtle nesting activity.

We spend our last night camping at Bukit Kelung where we can see the Perhentian Islands. There are freshwater showering facilities. We will cook dinner together on the camping stoves and have rice, vegetables and fresh fish.

We wake up at 5.30am to a sunrise behind the Perhentian Islands – our finishing line. We walk towards Kuala Besut and finish our morning session at Tok Bali. From Tok Bali we head off to the Perhentian islands where we survey and walk around the islands and finish at the Perhentian Village.
