Upon arriving Kukup, we will board a traditional fishing boat to visit the kelongs. Kelongs are offshore floating wooden platforms that serve as fish farms. A local guide will show us a variety of fishes that they breed there. Watch out for the Archer fish and the Puffer fish.
For those who are interested in mangrove swamps, the swamp of Pulau Kukup is said to be one of the largest mangrove swamps in the world. Visitors get to see and interact with the native birds and plants there. It is a very educational site for students.
Lunch will be served at a local seafood restaurant. The seafood in Kukup is exceptionally fresh, because they are all caught live and cooked on the spot. Enjoy a wide spread of delicious food like prawns, fish, vegetables, fried rice etc
After lunch, we buy some local products to share with our families and friends at home. Famous products are the keropok (crackers) and belachan.
