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 in the archipelago.
Several highly regarded sports fish such as the black
marlin and sailfish make their home in the waters.
The
grouper and the snapper can also be found swimming around
the islands. 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.
