Pagang Island
Pulau Pagang
A popular snorkeling island offshore from Padang, with rich corals and fish. It is often combined with Pasumpahan Island on an island-hopping trip.
Pagang Island is small, with white sand beaches around its shore and shallow coral reefs that are good for snorkeling. Simple huts on the island allow overnight stays, and visitors can watch both sunrise and sunset. From Bungus Pier, the boat ride takes about 45 minutes. Most island-hopping tours schedule it on the same day as Pasumpahan, Sikuai, and other islands. Facilities are basic, so bring your own sunscreen and drinking water.
