Bōkjānwūt

Description

Tucked away near the showers and bathrooms at Laura Beach, Bōkjānwūt is a historical site centred on a shallow groundwater well tied to one of the island's most captivating legends. The story follows a young man who transformed his mother into a beautiful woman using a chant and coconut milk, set against the backdrop of a canoe race and a chance encounter with a chief's son. Locals say that from above, the rocks reveal the outline of the rat lady herself. Whether you spot her or not, it's an otherworldly stop.

Highlights

  • Ancient well
  • A story of transformation, identity and disobedience
  • Spot the "rat lady" outline from above
