About Pulau Kukup National Park
Pulau Kukup, about 1 km off Kukup town, is one of the largest mangrove islands in the world. The 647 ha national park was set up in 1997 and became a Ramsar site in 2003. Boardwalks, viewing platforms and an observation tower take you into the mangroves, and the 807 ha of mudflats around the island are feeding grounds for migratory waterbirds at low tide.
Crab-eating macaques, mudskippers and wild boar live on the island. Entry fees are the same as at Tanjung Piai, and you need a boat across from the Kukup side, so call or WhatsApp the park office (013-744 0957) about crossings before you go. Kukup town is known for its seafood restaurants and floating chalets, and Tanjung Piai is a short drive away, so the two parks fit into one day.
