Description
Harimau Island (Malay: Pulau Harimau) is an island in Mersing District, Johor, Malaysia. The name when translated means the Tiger Island, is a deserted location that is not inhabited.
This island shows no signs of life but is indeed a very perfect location for most scuba divers and those who wish to do snorkeling.
Situated off the Coast of Johor in the Mersing District, Pulau Harimau is one of the most beautiful islands in Malaysia, if not the world. Like us here, most of you wouldn’t have heard of it. It’s not a popular tourist destination or well publicized attraction of any kind.
This island is a diver’s paradise as it offers breathtaking seascape features which are so unique and attractive to any visitor.
It has a cavern that can be easily reached when one snorkels from the drop off point at the beach.
This cavern has no roof and forms a wonderful little private pool where both snorkelers and divers can take time off to enjoy the waters and the breeze.
The location is very peaceful and serene and offers maximum relaxation not only to the divers but to anybody that is interested in visiting this deserted but exciting island off the coast of Mersing.
If you are planning your holidays offshore, Mersing is a great gateway to Malaysian traditional culture and the grandeur of nature at its best.
It is located 136 kilometers north of the state capital Johor Bahru and is best known for its passenger boat jetty leading to a cluster of islands.
