The island itself is not too big. If you are looking for somewhere fun to play within a day, this is definitely for you! The trip from the jetty (MARANG) to Kapas Island only took us about 10 minutes.... more »

An island and a calm atmosphere, not much occupied by the public. Travelers who want peace and quiet here is where it goes. The serenity and calm of the island make some Westerners go there at least once a year. Dream place for swimming and tranquility

It is so nice and serene. The boat fee is at RM40 back and forth, but you will get only RM30 if you booked online. The journey from jetty to the island only takes about 10-15 minutes only.
