The Sibu archipelago has almost the same magical charm and brilliance as celebrated by Pulau Rawa and Pulau Tioman. The island consists of Pulau Sibu Besar, Pulau Sibu Tengah, Pulau Sibu Hujung, Pulau Kukus, and Pulau Tinggi. Pulau Sibu forms part of the Seribuat chain of islands and lies 12 kilometres off the east coast of the West Peninsular of Malaysia. The island is shaped like a triangular hour glass, about 6 kilometres long and never more than one kilometre wide it’s whole length. You can walk from one resort to the other by jungle trekking. The abundance of marine life makes it a terrific spot for recreational diving and snorkeling, angling and watersports like canoeing,windsurfing, sailing, yachting, cruising and island hoping.
The popularity of the island has been a blessing to the island resort, which has seen an increasing number of tourists from Scandinavian countries. Although filming took place in Pulau Sibu Kukus and Pulau Sibu Besar, majority of the crew, participants, as well as the media covering the series, stayed at the Sibu Island Resort in Pulau Sibu Tengah.
Angling is probably the most popular activity around the archipelago, offering highly regarded sportfish like tenggiri(narrow barred mackerel), black marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi or dolphin and good quality food fish like garoupers and snappers.
The resort can arrange fishing trips around the islands or at the surrounding kelongs or one can just try one’s luck at the breakwater bunds at the island’s jetty.

Those who prefer to take a “deep” dip into the sea can go for diving or snorkeling trips to the nearby Pulau Kukus or Pulau Lima. Uninhabited Kukus is the perfect hideout for those who treasure privacy.
On the way back, make a stop at Sibu Besar to absorb the picturesque view of the serene Kampung Duku, home to about 200 villagers. Witness the time-tested method on making copra or the handicraft-making from coconut wastes.
Back on land, take a short moderate jungle walk into the vegetation to reach a beautiful stretch of beach, nicknamed by staff as the Private Beach. The 30-minute trip is suitable for both children and healthy senior citizens.
The best months to visit the Sibu archipelago are from March to August. Though it isn’t closed to visitors during the monsoon season, the choppy sea will deter “enjoyable and comfortable sea activities”.
With its natural beauty and charm and offering adventurous and “soft” activities, Sibu Tengah is great destination for the whole family or those planning to treat themselves to a perfect holiday.

This is for the lucky ones.The catch is depending on the right season and the tide. btw, it is really hard to guarantee you any catch. Even if you go fishing at some commercial fishing center, you might come back empty handed. Well, the fishes are there but whether you can get it is a different story.
