Pulau Sembilan (GPS: 4.02934, 100.54859; Chinese: 九屿岛, Pinyin: Jiǔ Yǔ Dǎo) is a small island off the coast of Manjung District in Perak. The island is being promoted by the Perak Nature Parks Corporation as a tourist destination. As such, a number of travel agencies along the Perak coast, from Lumut to Bagan Datoh, have started offering packages to Pulau Sembilan. There is basic tourist facilities on the island, such as sheds and tables for day trippers. Those who wish to overnight on the island can rent the camping tents.

In addition to picnic trips to the island, some operators now offer scuba diving in the vicinity of Pulau Sembilan. Dive sites around the island include White Rock and Black Rock, so called for the colour of the boulders in the vicinity.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
