PULAU BESAR
The island was formerly known as Pulau Babi Besar – Big Boar Island – due to the wild boar that used to roam freely here, but of which there now remains no trace. A legend of a couple that turned into mermaids after eating an enchanted kind of seaweed is still told here, and some say that the nibble marks that appear on the rocks at low tide is their doing. In recent years, this island has become famous as the location for the Scandinavian reality show Expedition Robinson, where contestants are stranded on a remote island and have to fend for themselves while competing for a cash prize
Only thirty minutes by boat from the coastal town Mersing, Pulau Besar (Big Island) is a surprisingly beautiful and tranquil hideaway. Nature has endowed it with everything that you would imagine an idyllic tropical island should have – powdery white beaches, lush green jungle and turquoise waters dotted with coral reefs and teeming with marine life.
