Private Tour: Crab Island Sightseeing Boat Ride and Seafood Lunch
Get away from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur for a day and relax on Crab Island. Because there are no paved roads or automobiles, this fishermen's community, which is known for its abundance of marine crustaceans, is a peaceful haven. Spend the day touring the little island and feasting on freshly caught crab for lunch.
Following convenient pickup from your Kuala Lumpur hotel, head to Port Klang, where you board a ferry for Crab Island. After a leisurely half-hour ride, you arrive at your destination. Once on land, the rest of the morning is yours to do with as you please. 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.
When afternoon hits, it's time for lunch. Follow your tour into a local eatery for a delectable seafood meal accompanied by a cup of cool Chinese tea. After spending more time exploring the island, take the ferry back to the mainland. You stop for photographs at the sprawling Istana Alam Shah palace, the spectacular Blue Mosque, and the stunning 6-tiered Thean Hou Temple as your guide drives you back to Kuala Lumpur.
