Rubiah Island
Pulau Rubiah
A small island opposite Iboih. The surrounding Rubiah Marine Park is one of the best snorkelling and diving areas at the western tip of Indonesia.
Rubiah Island lies across a narrow strait from Iboih. The surrounding coral reefs are healthy and often have sea turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and large schools of tropical fish. Snorkelling and introductory diving are easy to arrange. Other nearby dive sites include Batee Tokong, Canyon and an undersea volcanic hot spring. A boat from Iboih pier takes about 10 minutes. Negotiate the price for snorkelling gear and boat hire at the pier. The island has the ruins of an abandoned Dutch-era pilgrim quarantine station.
