Boats: Why we don’t like them
We know this is controversial but here goes !! Boat-based surfers pay money to some operator in Bali and expect to surf the waves on outer islands without helping the people who live on those islands. For many, the surfbreak is their only real asset. All the money taken off the tourists goes into the [...]
Help needed from adventure divers
We have discovered “Big Blue” an offshore underwater island (20-40 m deep) with amazing fish, corals … even Mola Mola. But it is big, the currents are sometimes quick and so the site is for experienced divers only. We need help to unravel this mystery site as our dive instructor can’t go out there on [...]
Green Heaven from December to May
Maybe, the best time to escape from the cold northern hemisphere is from December to April. At this time, tropical Heaven on the Planet is green and fresh. Often there’s no wind and so the quality waves are at their best. There’s more breaks to surf, as the southern reefs are also working. Rain at [...]

Lighting the surf: Done!
Lighting the surf proved to be harder than we thought, but we’ve done it. The lights are working and we’ve been surfing at night. It has been a long journey.
First, we had to do a major upgrade to our generator … a 25 kW generator was bought in Bali. Trucking it over had to wait [...]
TV Surfari show in Heaven
For 3 crazy days, we hosted two top surfers Shaun Harrington and Ry Craike and their friends at Heaven. The TV channel had chosen us for the first episode of “Soul Surfari” … a blended surfing and travel show. Nearly 30 minutes of the 1 hour time slot was dedicated to the two resorts, so [...]
Water supply lake
Ekas Bay is a dream location for tourism, but in the background Heaven on the Planet is dealing with some difficult problems to supply the basics of water, electricity and transport. The government is building a new dam for the south-east region of Lombok and water may flow more freely in 2015, but for now [...]
