BONO (SEVEN GHOSTS) NATURAL MYSTERY FROM RIAU

Bono is a wave or wave that occurs in Kampar River Estuary, Pelalawan Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia. Waves Bono Kampar River is a natural phenomenon due to the confluence of streams flowing into the sea and ocean currents that enter the river due to tides.

Usually the waves occur only on the shore or the sea or a large lake due to changes in water and wind currents. The waves are large enough to be used for surfing. So, if you see people surfing on the beach is an ordinary thing. But seeing people surfing in the stream is a great thing.

Biggest bono usually occurs when the rainy season where the Kampar River water discharge is large enough around November and December.

Legend

Bono is actually located in two locations in Riau Province namely in Muara (Kuala) Sungai Kampar Pelalawan District and in Muara ( Kuala) Rokan River in Rokan Hilir District . Local people call Bono in Kuala Kampar as BONO JANTAN because it is bigger, while Bono in Kuala Rokan as BONO BETINA because it is smaller.

According to the residents' trust, the bono wave in the kampar river is bono males, while the bono females are in the Rokan River area, close to Bagansiapi-api City. Bono in kuala kampar amounted to seven tails, which look like a horse commonly called the parent Bono. In the high tide of death, this bono will go to Rokan River to meet bono females. Then relax towards the strait of Malacca. That is why when the moon is small and the pairs are dead, bono is not found in the two rivers. If the moon starts big, go back bono to each place, then play memudiki Kampar river and Rokan river. The fuller the moon in the sky, the happier bono racing memudiki both rivers.

The Bono River estuary called residents as KUALA KAMPAR has Bono waves which can reach a height of 6-10 meters contained state at the time of the incident. According to the old Malay story titled Sentadu Gunung Laut), every coastal Malay swordsman must be able to conquer Bono's waves to improve their fighting skills. This can make sense because "riding" Bono is essentially balancing the body, beyond the mystical problem.

In the past, because there is still a mystical nature in the location, then to ride Bono must be with "semah" ceremony conducted in the morning or afternoon. The ceremony is led by BOMO or Datuk or village elders with the intention that Bono riders always get safety and be kept away from any distress. In addition there is a mystical story (maybe) associated with the wave of this Bono is a story about FLOOD BLOOD IN CONCRETE or BLOOD WITH BLOOD and the formation of Pelalawan Kingdom 1822 AD.

Now, people around Kuala Kampar regard Bono as "a friend of nature". Brave residents will "ride" Bono with their boats not by using surfboards in general. Riding the canoe over the waves of Bono becomes an activity of dexterity. But this activity has a high risk because when one drove a boat, the boat can be crushed by the waves of Bono, not infrequently the boat collapsed into pieces.

Waves of Seven Ghosts

The surrounding community has special story stories related to the bono wave. There are many stories and beliefs from local people that make this rare natural event more special. According to the story of the old Malay society, the waves of Bono occurred because of the embodiment of 7 (seven) ghosts that often destroyed the boats and ships that crossed Kuala Kampar. This huge waves are so frightening to the people that to pass it must be held ceremony of semah as mentioned above. This waves are very deadly when the boat or boat facing him. Not infrequently the boat was destroyed to pieces in the waves crashed or destroyed because it hit the river bank. Not a few ships are turned back and drowned caused.

According to the story of the community, formerly this roll of waves amounted to 7 (seven) large waves of 7 ghosts. When during the Dutch colonial period, Dutch transport ships were having difficulties entering Kuala Kampar due to this wave. One of the Dutch commanders ordered to shoot with the big waves. Either by accident or by something else, one of the big waves that had been shot by the Dutch guns had never appeared again until now. So now there are only 6 (six) large winding waves of Bono waves.

Seven Ghosts are 7 waves of Bono with the 1st formation in front and followed by 6 waves behind it. Because one of the biggest waves had been destroyed by the Dutch so the big waves of Bono only left 6 waves with almost parallel formations entering Kuala Kampar. Regarding the Dutch ship and its people have not been found until now.

Scientific Review

Bono Wave or Bono Wave or Bono Wave which is a natural phenomenon, it can be simply stated that the occurrence of Bono Waves is the meeting of the tidal currents with the river flow from upstream to the estuary (downstream). In the study of Environmental Fluid Mechanics (Environmental Fluid Mechanics ), Bono called Tidal bore or bore / Aegir / eagre / eygre. Scientifically, the bono wave is one of nature's events that is quite rare and rare. Where we will see a big wave that is just like happening in the middle of the sea, but this happens in a freshwater river. Bono wave occurred due to collision of three streams of water coming from the Melaka Strait , South China Sea and Kampar River water flow. As a result of this collision, the water wave at the Kampar estuary can reach a height of 4-5 meters marked previously with a great roar. This is a scientific phenomenon that only intellectuals will believe .

The Cause of Wave Bono

Bono waves or sometimes also called Bono Wave (Bono Wave) occurs when the occurrence of pairs (tide up) that occurred in the sea entering the Kampar River. The speed of Kampar River water towards the sea collides with the flow of sea water entering the Kampar River. Clash of the two currents that cause the wave or wave. Bono will occur only when the tide is high. And it will become even bigger if at sea time have big tide (big moon) accompanied by heavy rain in upstream Kampar River. The rapid flow of rivers due to rain will collide with the swift tide of sea water that goes to Kuala Kampar.

Factors Cause the Incidence of Bono Waves :

· River water flow to the estuary

· Rain

· Tide

· Month position

· High low water depth

· The environment of the watershed forest (DAS)

Schedule of Bono

Bono usually occurs on every 13-18 (moon) months in the calculation of the Hijri calendar (residents call it the Malay month and the Arabic year). Residents call it the "Big Month" or " Full Moon ". Usually a large wave of Bono or Ombak Bono occurred on 13-16 months of the Malay Arab years. The waves that occur will usually be white and brown following the color of Kuala Kampar water. In addition, Bono also occurs in every "dead month" ie the end of the month and the beginning of the month (date 1) Year Arabic / Hijriyah.

Location

Teluk Meranti Village is located at the position of 0.08.39.29 north latitude and 102.33.48.50 east longitude. Waves Bono Kampar River will usually be enlarged and can be used for surfing activities in locations around Pulau Muda, or in Muara Sungai Serkap to Teluk Teluk Meranti.

To get to the location of Bono River Kampar is still bothered easy because to get public transportation has not been widely available, so need to rent a rental car in Pangkalan Kerinci . Location of this Kampar River Bono from Pekanbaru can be achieved in 2 ways:

From Pekanbaru to Pangkalan Kerinci then turn left at Simpang Bunut then enter the road axis Bono - Teluk Meranti Village

Road Water Vehicle from Pekanbaru – drop in Pangkalan Kerinci - from Pangkalan Kerinci Bridge followed by speed boat to Teluk Meranti Village or Pulau Muda Village.

Tours

For photography enthusiasts , can photograph the building of a typical stage house of Malay and natural scenery is still very beautiful and natural. In addition, it can also be fishing while enjoying the scenery is very amazing. Clinging to the local population can be an interesting thing to do. Seeing and watching the activities of the fishermen , especially in the morning becomes a very humanist and unforgettable experience. Do not forget to watch the art performances are usually held in a multipurpose building that is there. The people and locals are very well known.

THE TALE AND MYTH OF THE ORIGIN OF BONO WAVES

ON KAMPAR RIVER, RIAU PROVINCE

Scientifically, the bono wave is one of nature's events that is quite rare and rare. Where we will see a big wave that is just like happening in the middle of the sea, but this happens in a freshwater river. Bono wave occurred due to collision of three streams of water coming from the Strait of Melaka, South China Sea and Kampar River Water flow. As a result of this collision, the water wave at the Kampar estuary can reach a height of 4-5 meters marked previously with a great roar. This is a scientific phenomenon that only intellectuals will believe. But you know, the surrounding community has a special fairy tale related to the wave bono it? There are many stories and beliefs from local people that make this rare natural event more special.

For residents of Kuala Kampar area, bono had known them since childhood. Because that's not strange, if children, adolescents and adults also consider bono as his best friend, where they play agility riding Bono or called Bekudo Bono using boats (dinghy) small. Usually bono playground for local residents is in places where bono is not too big or in children Kampar River that has Bono, such as River Sangar, Turip, Serkap, Poles and Kerumutan River. This game is big risk, because if miscalculated the boat can be thrown bono to the cliff so destroyed. But from experience since childhood, they, these bono players already know very well where a safe place to play bono.

Formerly, the game bono is often done by first holding a particular ceremony to ensure the safety of the players. The ceremony is called 'semah' which must be done morning or afternoon. The ceremony is led by a 'Bomo' or Datuk or the elders of the village. This is done so that bono riders get safety while riding bono, and kept away from all dangers. In addition, there is also a mystical story associated with the waves of bono is a story about the blood flood in the compilation or berkusun blood, and the formation of Keralas n Pelalawan in 1822 AD

Malay warriors are said to have often been challenged and tested their dexterity by riding the bono wave. Who succeeded in conquering such a powerful wave would be considered as a powerful figure and has the best power. Another story mentions that once this roll of waves amounted to 7 (seven) large waves of 7 ghosts. When during the Dutch colonial period, Dutch transport ships were having difficulties entering Kuala Kampar due to this wave. One of the Dutch commanders ordered to shoot with the big waves. Either by accident or by something else, one of the big waves that had been shot by the Dutch guns had never appeared again until now. So now there are only 6 (six) rolls of waves Bono wave.

But then became a regular game and can be executed at will. But this game is only done during the day, while the night no matter how brave they are, no one has dared to try it. This is because the risks are quite large. If you are afraid or horrified to join the boat playing bono, you can see bono from land only. But If dare please play bono with small boats that many there. The important thing is you must be good at swimming, and ride the bono. This game is similar to surfing on the waves on the beach, because the place is wide and the challenge is quite big.

Collection of History

Early History In Discovering The Waves of Bono Kampar

BONO or Bono Wave is a natural phenomenon that usually occurs because of the meeting of tidal currents with the river flow from upstream to downstream. Natural events are fairly unique and interesting. Tourists can watch it when the tidal wave arrives. Tidal waves usually occur every 10 "20 in the calculation of the Malay month (Arab), or by local people often called the big moon" occurs at the time of full moon. At the time of the dead tide (small moon), Bono is almost nonexistent; if there is only a small ripple in a shallow place.

Another uniqueness that can be witnessed by tourists is when the sea water entered and met with the flow of the river there was a wave with high speed accompanied by the thunder like the sound of thunder and the wind hembah fast. If the high tide season, the wave can reach 4 to 6 meters with a speed of about 40 km per hour. Wave called bono is moving from the direction of the mouth upstream munuju until it reaches tens of kilometers from its estuary.

For people in Kuala Kampar area, Bono is a familiar event. These natural events have been known for a long time and have been so close and familiar with their lives. In fact, people in this area consider Bono as a friend . They often take advantage of Bono as a means of compete in playing the boat on it. Indeed, this game has a risk that is too high, because if miscalculated, boats can be crushed Bono down to the cliff until destroyed.

In the past, the boat game above Bono by Kuala Kampar community was often done with certain ceremonies and performed in the morning or afternoon. However, today the game has become a regular game and can be done at will.

The process of the occurrence of Waves Bono

Bono waves that occur in the Kampar River occurs usually at high tide occurs in the sea. The tide then goes to Kampar River. Furthermore, the speed of the current in Kampar River will collide with the rising tide from the sea so that there is a wave called the Bono Wave. Bono will only happen when the tide, the greater the tide that occurs in the sea, then the possibility of Bono Wave that happens will be even greater. Rainfall factors that will increase the flow of river water will also affect the magnitude of Bono waves that are formed. Can be imagined if the conditions of high rainfall and high tide in the sea is large, then the condition of Bono Wave will also be even greater.

Prior to the Bono wave, it usually starts with a sound like a whistle, then a roar of water will be heard. The roar sounds the longer it gets louder and comes the big waves called the Bono Wave. The speed of the waves of Bono reaches 40 km / h. The waves are able to enter the river upstream miles and miles away. Usually capable of reaching distance of about 60 km upstream and will end in Tanjung Pungai area. The number of Bono waves is quite a lot and go hand in hand. Sometimes on the banks of the river and sometimes can also occur in the middle of the river. The biggest bono will usually occur when the rainy season arrives, where the Kampar River water discharge will rise. On a matter of months will usually occur in November and December.

According to the surrounding community, Bono will usually occur on every 10-20 month Malay Arabic year, or commonly referred to as 'Bulan Besar' or 'Bulan Purnama'. As for the big Bono waves will usually occur on the 13-16 months of the Malay Arab years. The formed waves are generally white and brown, according to the color of the river water. Bono will also occur on any 'dead month' or end of month and beginning of month of the Arab year.

Actually into the river around the occurrence of Bono wave is not deep. Only about 1 to 2 meters away, with certain plot sections that have a depth of about 10 to 15 meters as the vessel transport passage. Due to the existence of Bono, the groove is often moved. So for the ships that pass through this area must use people who know the flow of the river, or so-called Tekong.

Bono waves will usually occur at the mouth of the river whose condition is wide and shallow then narrowed after being in the river. The shape of the flooding river mouth resembles the letter "V" or a funnel. Furthermore, it will be supported by the prevailing river condition due to natural erosion. The meeting of two currents of river and sea currents at this location will cause Bono Wave. However, not all shallow V-shaped creases will trigger Tidal Bore. Because other things are also influenced by the high tidal factor of sea water.

Location
This natural event called Bono occurs in Kampar, Pulau Muda, Teluk Meranti, Pelala wan, Riau Province, Indonesia.

Access
Bono natural events occur at the mouth of the Kampar River. To reach this area is not easy, because there is not yet available means of road to get there. The only path that can be taken is through the river channel. Tourists who want to see Bono can use four-wheeled vehicles from the city of Pekanbaru to Pangkalan Kerinci (capital of Pelalawan District) which is about 70 km. After that, from Pangkalan Kerinci, tourists are advised to hire a fast boat (speed boat) to the village of Pulau Muda with a journey of approximately 5 hours. From the village of Pulau Muda is the tourists can see a beautiful natural phenomenon named Bono.

Bono Waves History and Causes of Occurrence

Waves Bono or Tidal Bore is a rare natural phenomenon where tidal currents can create waves of water that travel along streams or narrow bays causing the water to flow against the river currents to be like waves. bono is one of nature's events that is quite rare and rare. Where we will see a big wave that happens to be in the sea, but this happens in a freshwater river. and waves bono is one of the natural wealth of the archipelago bera da Riau province, Indonesia.

Ombak Bono or Tidal Bore at Kampar River, Riau - Indonesia.

Bono waves that occur in Kampar estuary, Pelalawan district, Riau province, Indonesia. is a unique natural phenomenon, occurs due to the confluence of the river into the sea and ocean currents that enter the river due to tides. Usually the waves or waves occur only on the shore or the sea or a large lake due to changes in water and wind currents. The waves are large enough to be used for surfing. So, if you see people surfing on the beach is an ordinary thing. But seeing people surfing in the stream is a great thing.

Scientifically, the bono wave is one of nature's events that is quite rare and rare. Where we will see a big wave that is just like happening in the middle of the sea, but this happens in a freshwater river. Bono wave occurred due to collision of three streams of water coming from the Melaka Strait, South China Sea and Kampar River water flow. As a result of this collision, the water wave at the Kampar estuary can reach a height of 4-5 meters marked previously with a great roar. This is a scientific phenomenon that only intellectuals will believe.

The cause of the waves of Bono in Kampar river

Bono will occur only when the tide is high. And it will become even bigger if at sea time have big tide (big moon) accompanied by heavy rain in upstream Kampar River. The swift flow of rivers due to rain will collide with the swift tide of water l aut which goes to Kuala Kampar.

Factors Causing the Incidence of Bono Waves: The river water flow into the estuary, Rain, Tide, Position of the moon, High low water depth, Environment of the River Basin (DAS).

The legend of the origin of the waves of Bono

Bono is actually located in two locations in Riau Province namely in Muara (Kuala) Sungai Kampar Pelalawan District and in Muara (Kuala) Rokan River in Rokan Hilir District. Local people call Bono in Kuala Kampar as BONO JANTAN (male Bono) because it is bigger, while Bono in Kuala Rokan as BONO BETINA (Female Bono) because it is smaller.

According to the residents' trust, the bono wave in the kampar river is male bono, while the bono females are in the Rokan River area, close to Bagansiapi-api City. Bono in kuala kampar amounted to seven tails, which look like a horse commonly called the parent Bono. In the high tide of death, this bono will go to Rokan River to meet bono females. Then relax towards the strait of Malacca. That is why when the moon is small and the pairs are dead, bono is not found in the two rivers. If the moon starts big, go back bono to each place, then play memudiki Kampar river and Rokan river. The fuller the moon in the sky, the happier the bono ran into the two rivers.

In the past, because there is still a mystical nature in the location, then to ride Bono must be with "semah" ceremony conducted in the morning or afternoon. The ceremony is led by BOMO or Datuk or village elders with the intention that Bono riders always get safety and be kept away from any distress. In addition there is a mystical story (maybe) associated with the wave of Bono this is the story of the FLOOD OF BLOOD IN CONCRETE or BLOOD WITH BLOOD and the formation Kalajaan Pelalawan 1822 AD.

Now, people around Kuala Kampar regard Bono as "a friend of nature". Brave residents will "ride" Bono with their boats not by using surfboards in general. Riding the canoe over the waves of Bono becomes an activity of dexterity. But this activity has a high risk because when one is driving a boat, the boat can be crushed by the waves of Bono, not infrequently the boat was destroyed to pieces.

Legend of old Malay society Bono: Waves of 7 (seven) Ghosts

The surrounding community has special story stories related to the Bono Wave. There are many stories and beliefs from local people that make this rare natural event more special.

According to the story of the old Malay society, the waves of Bono occurred because of the embodiment of 7 (seven) ghosts that often destroy the boat and ship that cross Kuala Kampar. This huge waves are so frightening to the people that to pass it must be held ceremony of semah as mentioned above. This waves are very deadly when the boat or boat facing him. Not infrequently the boat was destroyed to pieces in the waves crashed or destroyed because it hit the river bank. Not a few ships are turned back and drowned caused.

THERE ARE SEVEN HEAD OF BONO

Phenomenon of Bono Kuala Kampar - Riau. In my childhood, the authors were brought by your father Janib, and Sirajuddin's brother, farmed at Tanjung Pebilah and then on Mudo Island, precisely in 1969 to 1974. In mid-1974, the writer moved to Airtiris, to MTI school. Raanah. From the Channel, the writer boarded a small boat called a pompon. The journey is 2 to three days, through the village of Teratak Buluh. The authors boarded a pompong or motor boat, then anchored in one of the ports of Kuala Kampar (Panduk, Pulau Muda etc.) before the tide arrives (big tide) there will be a roar, the closer the more clearly the roar. But do not expect the roar to sound the storm, storm or rain but it is the roar of Kampar river that is in the form of big waves, Kampar river with a terrible speed.

In high tide season, the wave height can reach four to six meters, stretching from across to the other side of the river. Indeed, an awful but also exciting panorama, that's what BONO is. The inhabitants of the downstream Kampar river, or people who have passed through this area must have seen Bono, because Bono came with tide, day and night, especially during the full moon season and between 10 and 20 months of Malay. When the dead pairs (small moon) Bono can be labeled no, if there is only a small ripple in a very shallow place.

ANALYSIS OF THE MYSTERY OF BONO

Myths and Stories About Bono

It is said that Bono in the river Kampar is Bono male and Bono females are in the Rokan river near Bagansiapi-api. Bono in kuala kampar is seven tail, the shape is similar to the horse called the parent Bono. In the dead tide, Bono goes to the Rokan river to meet Bono the female, then relax towards the strait of Malacca. That is why when the moon is small and the pairs are dead, Bono is not found both rivers. If the moon starts big, go back to Bono to each place, then play the river Kampar and Rokan river. The fuller the moon in the sky, the more excited Bono racing memudiki both rivers.

For residents of Kuala Kampar area, Bono had known them since childhood. Because that's not strange, if children, adolescents and adults also consider Bono as his best friend, where they play agility riding Bono using boats (dinghy) small.

Usually Bono's playground is in places where Bono is not very big or in the Kampar rivers who memudiki Bono like: river Sangar, Turip, Serkap, Pole and Kerumutan. This game is a big risk, because if one calculation boat can be thrown Bono to the cliff so destroyed. But from experience since childhood, they, these Bono players already know very well where a safe place to play bono.

In the past, Bono games are often done with certain ceremonies, but then become a regular game and can be carried out at will. But this game is only done during the day, while the night no matter how brave they are, no one has tried it.

If you are afraid or horrified to join the boat playing Bono, you can watch Bono from the land. But if you dare to play Bono with the small boats that are widely there. The important thing is you must be good at swimming, as well as riding the Bono. This game is similar to surfing on the waves on the beach, because the place is wide and the challenge is quite big.

In Malaysia the so-called BENAK is Muak Sungai Batang Lupar Sri Aman Sarawak. On the River Kent England is called The Arnside Bore, and there is also called it Aegir. On the River Severn England is called The Severn Bore. On the Amazon River and the surrounding rivers are called Pororoca. While Benak is the name Bono in Sungai Batang Lupar Sarawak Malaysia. Regarding other Bono Locations in the world, it can be read on the article: Bono / Tidal Bore Location in the World CAUSE AND TIME OF OMBAK BONO Bono or Bono Wave sometimes occurs when the occurrence of high tides the sea enters Kampar River. The speed of Kampar River water towards the sea collides with the flow of sea water entering the Kampar River. Clash of the two currents that cause the wave or wave. Bono will occur only when the tide is high.

SCIENTIFIC REVIEW OF OMBAK BONO

Bono usually occurs in the wide and shallow estuary of the river and then narrows or buds after being in the river. The shape of a river mouth that is similar to the letter "V" or funnel is supported by the condition of the river that degrade due to natural erosion causing the meeting of tidal waters with river water finally formed Bono or Tidal Bore. But not all the shallow V-shaped estuaries can occur Tidal Bore. Because influenced one of them by the high tidal factor of sea water. Tidal Bore is regarded as a natural phenomenon in the field of hydrodynamics which is closely related to the movement of the water mass.

The greater the Bono or Tidal Bore, the greater the damage. Quoted from Wikipedia: A tidal bore (or simply bore in context, or also aegir, eagre, or eygre) is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travels up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river or bay's current. Quoted from Bambang Yulistiyanto: The ups and downs in the Kampar River Estuary have a wave height of about 4 m (Deshidros, 2006). The tides are in the form of tidal Mixed Condong to Double Daily, where in 1 day occurs two times and two times receded with the first and second tidal height is different. Tidal wave period is about 12 hours 25 minutes. In the Kampar River, the river mouth is shaped like a "V" letter, the mass of water entering through the mouth of the wide bay is then retained, until the tidal water fills the estuary.

The collected water mass is then pushed upstream causing a kind of strong pressure effect as it passes a constantly narrow and shallow area at the mouth of the bay. This situation led to varying waves in the upper bay, from only small waves up to several meters in height. At the estuary of the Kampar River, the wave velocity can be lower than the speed of river flow from upstream. This resulted in the delay of tidal wave movements from the sea, which resulted in the rise of water from the estuary, thus forming Tidal Bore 'Bono'. Bono waves move upstream to Tanjung Pungai which is about 60 km from the estuary. Bono that creeps upstream through the flow of the narrowing of the river. When passing through Pulau Muda, the tide is separated into two, partly through the path on the left, and partly through the path to the right of Young Island.

At the separate Bono Separation Head, meeting each other, generating momentum that resulted in Bono Waves getting bigger. Locals call this incident as 'Bono who clap'. At Tanjung Pemilahan, Bono Bono was the greatest.

Riau Tourism Ombak Bono Sungai Kampar

The river Bono called the population as KUALA KAMPAR has Bono waves that can reach a height of 6-10 meters contained state at the time of the incident. According to the old Malay story titled Sentadu Gunung Laut), every coastal Malay swordsman must be able to conquer Bono's waves to improve their fighting skills. This can make sense because "riding" Bono is essentially balancing the body, beyond the mystical problem.

Bono waves occur because the embodiment of 7 (seven) ghosts that often destroy the boat and ship crossing Kuala Kampar. This huge waves are so frightening to the people that to pass it must be held ceremony of semah as mentioned above. This waves are very deadly when the boat or boat facing him. Not infrequently the canoes were crushed to pieces in the waves or crushed when it hit the river bank.

Not a few ships are turned back and drowned akibanya. According to the story of the community, formerly this roll of waves amounted to 7 (seven) large waves of 7 ghosts. When during the Dutch colonial period, Dutch transport ships were having difficulties entering Kuala Kampar due to this wave. One of the Dutch commanders ordered to shoot with the big waves. Either by accident or by something else, one of the big waves that had been shot by the Dutch guns had never appeared again until now. So now there are only 6 (six) large winding waves of Bono waves.

Bono is actually located in two locations, namely in Muara (Kuala) Sungai Kampar and in Muara (Kuala) Rokan River. Local people call Bono in Kuala Kampar as BONO JANTAN because it is bigger, while Bono in Kuala Rokan as BONO BETINA because it is smaller.

The way to the location of the waves of Bono is generally done from Pekanbaru City to Pangkalan Kerinci (capital of Pelalawan Regency) and to Teluk Meranti Village. The trip is done by land transportation (car, bus, motor). Duration of travel takes between 5 s / d 6 hours depending on road conditions and traffic density. The journey between Pekanbaru to Pangkalan Kerinci is through the East Cross Road Sumatra about 1-2 hours.

From Pangkalan Kerinci to Simpang Bunut about 30 minutes and will enter Jalan Lintas Bono to Teluk Meranti Village which takes about 4-5 hours. Through water transportation can be passed through Pangkalan Kerinci Harbor which is under Pangkalan Kerinci Bridge. From the port, can continue the journey by speedboat to the Port of Pulau Muda with a travel time of 4.5 hours. Can also board the ship that goes to Tanjung Batu which departs at 11 every day and down at the Port of Teluk Meranti Village. Lodging is usually still in the community because to see the waves Bono had to rent a small speed boat to Kuala Kampar. Bono waves do not look so good in Teluk Meranti Village. Locals can show the location of the best, largest and longest Bono waves.
