Pulau Aman (Peacefull island) was located on Latitude: 5° 16′ 0 N, Longitude: 100° 24′ 0 E, in Pulau Pinang. Pulau Aman is a malay fishing village famously known as a favorites fishing spot. It’s well matched its name because this island was very calm and peace. It was truly rural area life there.

It’s not difficult to reach there, please click here. By using ferry boat managed by local, fees only Rm6 (2ways;go and return) for adult passenger (for children I think its RM 4, if I am not mistaken). First you need to drive to Batu Kawan and follow signboard to Pulau Aman Jetty (easy route to go there), then parked your vehicle for about RM 2 per entry (safe for parking due have member who looks over our vehicle). Here is the most important thing that you have to know before you can go there which is the ferry only operate from 10am until 6pm (last boat from Pulau Aman to mainland) and 7pm last boat from Bukit Tambun jetty and not returning back.

The jetty area at mainland is suitable for camping place for family.

I go there and wait for about 30min before the ferry start journey to Pulau Aman. Ticket fees you only paid after you reached Pulau Aman, one-shot paid 2ways (move to and fro) ticket.

About 20~30min travel, then I reached Pulau Aman. First thing to do is eating.

The famous eating spot here is Pulau Aman’s Floating restaurant (Restoren terapung). Restoren terapung here served only shrimp based foods such as shrimp noodle, shrimp fried rice etc. Not many choices of food here. My recommendation to them is they should serve various kinds of foods especially seafood-based foods to attract tourist more to their places. This restaurant was located just beside the fisherman landing jetty and you can buy seafood from that jetty and asked the restaurant to cooked for you (not much choices also). I ordered Shrimp noodle & Shrimp fried rice and drink Iced Tea & Coconut Juice.

The taste for their food is okay but not that outstanding. The prices for my foods, I’m not quite well remembered but total is RM17. You can try it, still worth your money.
