Sembilan consists of nine islands; Rumbia, Pulau Lalang,
Pulau Saga, Pulau Buluh, Pulau Samak, Pulau Nipis, Pulau Agas, Pulau Miskin and
Pulau Nyamuk. All of them are inhabited, so you will find an oasis of peace.
The islands are located nearby the town of Lumut, and also nearby Pangkor
Island. The boat takes you to the islands in an hour and a half. Most people
visit the island during a day trip. Usually a group of friends or a family
rents a boat at the small harbor and they visit the island for a nice picnic.
Some leave very early in the morning to catch fish in the area and then prepare
and eat the fish during lunch at one of the nice secluded beaches at one of the
islands. Sembilan has no accommodation. Nearest place to stay is Pangkor Island.
There are daily buses that depart from Kuala Lumpur to Lumut;
the jetty where you can arrange a boat to take you to Sembilan. The bus is by
far the cheapest solution to get to Lumut as it only costs around RM25
(one-way, VIP 4 hour trip). Right opposite of Lumut Jetty is the bus station;
so it is only a small walk to get to the Jetty. Also right in front of the
jetty are car parks with 24/7 surveillance; where you can park your car for
RM10 per day.
