Pulau Undan, Melaka

The island of Pulau Undan is hidden behind the larger Pulau Besar in the Straits of Melaka. The name Undan Island is said to have come from a seabird that once lived on this island and in the surrounding area, as there were several food sources, including fish and snails. In Malay, “Undan” refers to a pelican. The island also belongs to the state of Melaka. The boat trip across the Melaka Strait to the island takes approximately 35 minutes. The distance from the mainland is 25 kilometers. Tickets for the island are available for purchase at the Melaka River Cruise's water taxi in town. The passengers are usually day trippers, but you can also spend the night there. You do need to bring your own tent and camping gear. Most day trippers are anglers or hikers, who want to walk around the island and visit the lighthouse. #beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#hiking#beaches
