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 [...]

The signs of success are evident with a growing population of native monkeys and bird life. The monkeys remain wild and roam throughout the property. No feeding of them is [...]
Seahorse breeding
While Malte Stuecker was a wonderful student and guest at Heaven, his seahorse breeding project* unfortunately didn’t go to plan. Lack of technology and the remoteness of the site led to breeding problems. But the monkeys eventually shut Malte down when they broke into the aquarium and wrecked the joint. They bounced through the roof, [...]
