Jeti Bukit Tambun

Jeti Bukit Tambun (23 May 2005)


Jeti Bukit Tambun is a riverside jetty in Bukit Tambun, Seberang Perai Selatan, Penang. This is where people heading for Pulau Aman take the ferryboats. The jetty is located next to a seafood restaurant, aptly named the Jetty Restaurant. The dining area is on a platform affording views of Sungai Jawi.

A short pier extend into Sungai Jawi to receive arriving ferryboats. A trip between Bukit Tambun and Pulau Aman usually takes around half an hour.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
