The Sembilan Islands are 35 minutes boat ride away. Mohan & Bavani prepare your packed lunch – nasi goreng, fried chicken, sandwiches, salad, fruit & drinks. – and the day is spent snorkeling, snoozing in the sun, and playing on the soft sand. Kids love collecting the pretty little shells & bits of coral. A collection of shells with holes can be string into great holiday necklaces.
The ornate Chinese Temple is a must see. Lots of smokey incense & the kids love the pools full of carp that swarm & swim in circles. The various Chinese, Indian & Malay festivals are enjoyed by all on the island & are played out on the streets. They are generally colourful, noisy & exotic!

I sit here with tears in my eyes as I am very grateful for you to have opened your doors & welcomed me to see a piece of paradise.

A short 'round the island' trip in our vehicle gives you your bearings. Things to look at are the fishing boat jetties, the ikan bilis drying and sorting areas (Pangkor is famous for this dried whitebait type fish), the boat building yards, all the various temples, and obviously the beaches.

• Short and long hikes are marked, and a guide can be hired in for a tougher jungle experience. A short easy hike to a lovely beach is nearby.

• Bird watching – the highlights are the hornbills and the greater Argus pheasant. The island supports a large variety of birds, many of which can be seen at Tiger Rock.
