Batu Berlayar Island (Sailing Rock)
Highlights & Heritage of Batu Berlayar Island (Sailing Rock)
Pulau Batu Berlayar is an iconic stop on the northwestern island hopping circuit. Two colossal granite pillars stand upright up to 10 meters tall, evoking the imagery of an ancient stone sailing ship adrift on crystalline turquoise waters. Flanked by clusters of smaller boulders and inhabited by sea urchins and starfish in surrounding pools, this spot offers an extraordinary feeling of standing on a geological throne in the ocean.
