The boat parts the morning like a lid and the sea unhitches a quiet, turquoise corridor toward Pulau Tuba. Salt air pulls at your shirt as the jetty of Pekan Rabu recedes, and within minutes the island’s green hum and a scatter of wooden houses come into focus. On arrival, the rhythm changes: footpaths cut through coconut groves, a rainbow-painted roundabout greets you, and the shorelines dare you to step into the tide.
