Towering rock islands with caves and tunnels are common and covered with lush greenery these are the homes for the many sea eagles seen daily riding the thermals and diving for fish. Labyrinths of waterways thread through this scenery as can both the yacht and the tendor for explorations. Quiet, mostly uninhabited, dotted with beaches, waterfalls and wildlife.

Close by, on Dayang, is a fresh water lake said to have magical properties, by legend of course, and well worth a swim to garner some extra luck. Pantai Cenang is the beach of choice whilst just 2 hours south is the floating platform from where snorkeling and diving expeditions take place.

A popular beach front cafe is the 'Lighthouse' along the quiet Tengah beach and just opposite - a small island with its unique beach. The whole island with its many satellite islands can be circumnavigated easily in a week leaving time to visit some other nearby groups.

The main town of Kuah is well known for its duty free shopping whilst tours ashore can be arranged from any of the fine beaches.
