Pulau Beras Basah is the last stop in the tour. You will get about one hour here. So after a tiring day under scorching sun, if you just want to lounge and relax, find one of the many shady trees and enjoy the views as the gentle breeze flows. Otherwise take a stroll along the old pier at the island.

The name Pulau Dayang Bunting translates to ‘Isle of the Pregnant Maiden’, named because from a distance the hills resemble the silhouette of a pregnant lady. However, this also relates to the belief that barren women will fall pregnant after swimming in the freshwater lake that the island is best known for. To access the lake and uncover whether the legend is true, take a 15-minute hike from the jetty up a concrete stairway through the lush forest. This is a delightful and picturesque place to swim or hire a kayak or paddleboat, surrounded by rolling hills, limestone formations, and mangrove trees, although it has an average depth of ten metres with no shallow areas. Life jackets are available to hire from a nearby shop. A boardwalk by the lake will lead you through the mangrove forest, where you can discover an abundance of intriguing limestone caves, waiting to be explored.

After about an hour at Pulau Beras Basah, you will head back to the Jetty and then back to your location.
