Batu Payung
REVIEWS
This sea stack no longer exists unfortunately, we think it has naturally eroded over time. We trekked over a headland to where it said it was on Google maps and there was nothing there. However, there was still a beautiful beach but just so you are aware unlike we were that there is longer a tall sea formation there to see!

Unique formation of one huge rock. Very very challenging to get here by boat and by hiking a hill and down. But worth the effort to get beautiful shots. There are small children who offers their photography skill and service and trus me they are so good! You might wanna use their service and get lots of good pictures for a small amount of kindness. They are also funny and talkative.

The Batu rock (Umbrella shape famous for photos has crumbled down). The track gets very hard and tricky when hiking up and down the hill (if you follow Google maps). You get cut up big time by thorns and nettles, not worth it. Park your scooter up and pay 10,000 but then walk around the big hill to the end of the island to see a Gili Island. We did that on the way back and was annoyed at ourselves for going the long way the first time. In all honestly, it's now not worth the time...But see for yourselves.
