Kuraman Island

28.08.2010

Here we came finally, Kuraman Island after planned for few months. It is an island that lies somewhere between Brunei and Malaysia water and it is a small tropical island belonging to Malaysia which located off the coast of Federal Territory of Labuan and it is protected as part of the Labuan marine park today.

Kuraman Island is with an total area of 5.2 square kilometers and was the site of second lighthouse built in 1902 to guide commercial ships entering Victoria harbour (Labuan harbour). It was one of the four structures that survived the heavy bombardments of the Allied Forces during World War II.

We had our lunch at Muara town in the early morning before we off to the islands. We gathered at Muara port at 9am and departed at 9.30am. It took around half an hour boat ride to arrive our destination. We do our own activity after we arrived there like snorkeling, sight seeing and photo shooting.

Around 11.30am, we had a BBQ over there and back to Muara port was around 3pm. The trip was nice and enjoyed.

We can see a blur image of Labuan from Kuraman Island. In fact, its very nice to Labuan.

A lighthouse, built by the British in 1897, is situated on the highest point of the island.
