Get away from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur for a day and relax on Crab Island!

Explore this peaceful haven and the local fishermen’s community, known for its abundance of marine crustaceans. Spend the day touring the little island and feasting on freshly caught crab for lunch! Start the day by getting picked up from your Kuala Lumpur hotel to Port Klang, where you board a ferry for Crab Island. After a leisurely half-hour ride, arrive at your destination. Once on land, explore the island to your heart’s content! Stop by a food market to try a traditional oyster omelet, visit the brightly colored Crab Island Temple, or wade through the muddy mangrove forests situated along the water. If you want to blend in, you can rent a bicycle—the only mode of transportation, other than walking or boating, around the island! Then, it’s time for lunch.
