Pulau Aman is an island off the coast of Bukit Tambun, Seberang Perai. Located on the southeast of Penang Island, Pulau Aman covers 288 acres. An idyllic Malay fishing village, Pulau Aman is known for having the oldest Sukun (breadfruit) tree in Malaysia. Pulau Aman is reachable by ferry boat from the pier at Bukit Tambun. Park your car in the open space in front of the pier. There is a big signboard pointing to the jetty for Pulau Aman, but apart from you, I guess you need to ask around for directions.


I explored Pulau Aman out of curiosity. I arrived at the jetty just before 9am one Saturday morning, and had to wait over an hour for the ferry, as it only leaves at 10am. The fare is RM4 (and RM2.50 for children) per way. The journey took over thirty minutes (over because the ferry did not depart on time), very slow considering the distance is only 2.5 nautical miles. It first negotiated a curve on the Sungai Jawi before reaching open sea
