Hiking at Pulau Kapas Jungle Trek - BEST Day trips from Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia

[@yanputra83]

Great job Ivana! 6:35 that is basically my childhood there. Going through some thorny bush to go to a nearby river to look for some "lokan" or marsh clam. Then cutting some nipa palm fruit for snack. Going back home with few scratches is a must back then 😂

[@khairulidris1168]

Both of you complemented each other in every sense of the word.. The thorny plants is "rattan" and there amny types.. Rattan is used to make furnitures and walking sticks..Pulau Kapas is underrated when compared to Redang and Perhentian..but to me Pulau Kapas is much cheaper and more accommodating to tourists.. Love all your vblogs and this one is suberb.. Take care, be safe.

Terengganu is famous for Island hopping.. You can try Pulau Helang Tengah, Pulau Redang and Perhentian (near Kelantan border).. If you prefer something cooler..go to Kenyir Lake which is the largest man made lake in South East Asia..size is larger than Singapore Island.. You can explore a pre historic cave, waterfall, spend night on the boat hotel right in the middle of National Park..and you can experience swimming together with Ikan Kelah (Mahseer fish) at Kelah Sanctuary.. thousand of Kelah fish..I think there is butterfly island.. elephant sanctuary.. it is only 80 km from Kuala Terengganu..

Shorts and sandals are a no-no for jungle hiking in the tropics. That’s why you get scratches and bruises. Many plants and trees up the hills are thorny, some even with sharp leaves. Just for your info.

[@ajeebfoodhunter]

I told ya, a lot of beautiful place in malaysia, specially terengganu, pahang, sabah, melaka, perak, penang..need more explore

[@TheAndrewFernandez]

You should always have mosquito repellent when you venture into any patch of jungle in Malaysia. Dengue fever is a serious risk here. And carry a good supply of drinking water too as your body dehydrates really fast under the jungle canopy. It is many times more humid in the jungle. I used to go to Pulau Kapas some 35 years ago when there was nothing there. No resorts, no facilities. It's not a five star diving or beach destination but as you correctly surmised it's a nice little place that's very accessible. We camped there and snorkeled across from Kapas to Pulau Gemia. The water visibility at Kapas is probably about 20 to 25 feet at its best and maybe 10-15 feet at its worst. The best time for visibility and fish activity is at high tide. As you travel further away from the mainland and the river mouths, the water gets clearer. In the non monsoon months you might experience visibility of anything between 40 and 90 feet in Pulau Redang and Pulau Perhentian. These are the choice islands for scuba divers in the area. Heard you're headed for at least one of the above. Enjoy!!! They are beautiful. Oh before I forget. Bravo to Ivana. That was not an easy hike at all. If you're still in Kapas tomorrow and if you can get to Pulau Gemia. There is a rock outcrop at the back of Gemia. Used to snorkel there and the water takes a sharp drop from the beach. Venture around the rock and you might see a school of baracuda and if you're lucky, the huge Napoleon fish.

Good of you guys, I remember 20 years ago when i communicated with a guy from Vancouver Canada through internet, he asked me whether people in Malaysia are staying on trees....

[@mir4pzz]

I like how you gives support for ivana. She obviously tired but you keep cheering on her so goodjob Steve 👍

[@PuriandSue]

You guys are in paradise!!! Gosh, what a hike, but totally worth it! Peace love and tranquility!

[@76mkmz]

So glad that you appreciate our nature..more to come!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Killing it with the drone shots! 🔥🔥

[@mylifechapter3620]

yeah, beautiful island. Kayaking @ kapas island make me forget that I never kayaking before and i do not know how to swim!!! it all because I was hypnotized by the beauty of coral and fish underneath me. Also, another best thing to do is feeding fishes - they love bread :)

[@JetLagWarriors]

we miss it!

[@karenteng3183]

Good job Ivana!, n also may salleh steve,u guys are truely super adventurous. Take care.

[@ambahtera]

Steve, my friend work as radio announcer at terengganu radio station. he would like invite you to the radio station

[@kimyyy9138]

Ask him to dm steve personally

[@mohdfakhrul5382]

The plant with the hook is call rotan..and good job finish the trekking..be safe

[@FoodandFootprints]

Beach was way more inviting than that second hike. Sorry, guys! 😂

[@aslinaadullah5701]

Pulau Kapas is one of the best recommend place in Terengganu for tourist because of the beautiful nature.

[@amein9872]

That is one tough women.. Yeaayyy!!! Good job, Ivana!! 👍😊

[@JetLagWarriors]

thank you

[@siti99hidupdidesa]

Sungguh indah banget pemandangannya 👍👍👍👍

[@zaharizak]

When you do jungle trekking, always leave your h/p no to the authority or someone you know. It may not look that dense but getting lost is still possible... danger still lurking, mildly or otherwise.

[@ftinftin8937]

I agree....i got lost even in smaller forest cos the surrounding looks the same. .

[@DaveYeo]

Great job Ivanna Love the beach at Long Sand Beach (Pantai Pasir Panjang)

[@sangorasangora4358]

Wow beautiful beach clean water nice view thanks dude shearing video 👍👌

[@eugeneeugene7451]

Wow great view n clear water.Great Job both of you.😉

[@Tay-qd4dv]

good job ivana.... you are the boss...

[@yuzarila]

6:52 It's a Monitor Lizard. Very common around the islands of Malaysia and GOOD JOB Ivana!!!

[@syedfadzilsyedmohsin393]

I very admire Ivana... She had a strong heart and energy to reach the private beach in Pulau Kapas ..... Ivana and Steve you got guts to follow the purple line at the pulau kapas jungle...... Its very risky to hike in the island jungle because there too many sloop.... and I very glad to see both of you come out from jungle tracking at safety and both of you are very brave to take the high risk to reach the private beach in Pulau Kapas....... That's is the challenge in tropical island for u to reach your destination beach.... Like a story in fantasy Island..... The plane ✈ ...... The plane ✈.... Do you remember the fantasy Island series?....

[@MiraArian]

Good Job Ivanaaaa...!!!!! 💪 & Steve too, keeps motivating Ivana 👍👏

[@rabeahmyahya9732]

Amazing view of jungle...beach n oceans

[@putrawk]

[@davidguetta4273]

Very Good Job Ivana!! Keep it up girl!!

[@zakirhassan2310]

[@freedomrespectjoy5072]

That was a good work out💪🌳🌴🌳🌲🌴👍jungle trekking is healthy for the mind, and you get rewarded to cleanse/rejuvenate your body with sea salt water 🏊‍♂️how blessed 🏊‍♀️

[@andithetraveller]

Wow so beautiful! 🙌🙌🙌

[@TheElfiable]

me and my boyfriend also visited the private beach and took the same direction like you guys to go back.. tbh, it was so tough. I got my leg get scratched by horned palm tree, the trek was so steep; it's almost like 90 degree.. thank God we made it!!

[@bismialias6321]

Ivana, u did the great job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mohdfuzir486]

Allright, allright. Good job ivana.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Oh man that dinner was awesome! Great way to end the day

[@THE_EXPLORER]

thanks for sharing the beauty of KL Malaysia

[@halimsaidin4847]

Good job Ivana 👍💪🙌 The beaches in front of the chalets are enough for local tourist but 2 of you go extra miles to find your own private beaches. It's heaven right?

[@yanputra83]

I want Steve for my personal trainer. Love the way you kept Ivana's spirit high.

[@sapianibnubasri]

Yeah hes really good at it!

[@chubipower]

ivana is getting so tanned. careful not to get sunburned. there was this ginger tomcat with 6-toed paws living on the other side of the island where you guys are staying. we stayed on that end when we went there. we said it must be have better traction in the sand and treading the jungle :d

[@HaswellTravelled]

Beautiful! A wonderful trek in a spectacular place! The climb through the jungle looked tough. A great place to be. Looks to me like you found peace and tranquility 😀. I enjoyed your underwater shots and aerial shots complimenting the rest of your video.

[@luzali1434]

Good job Ivanaaa!!!!! Yeayyyyyy

[@WanderingMunchers]

Did you guys check out the abandoned resort and abandoned campsite on the island?

[@e7843]

Great job Ivana. 👍👍 That is though, but you overcome it 💪💪 Always on long pants when hike at tropical rainforest.

[@nazliaziz1816]

You didnt make to Bukit Singga but almost there 😊. Bukit Singga is situated in the northern tip of the island. You have to climb it. The view is superb! But I think its temporary closed. The hill has been climbed by to many tourists that disturbed its surrounding habitats.

[@UnendingRoads]

Great video 👌 guys, and Ivana, you really did a great job!🤗

[@nooramirulikhwan6349]

Incredible job Ivana !!! I am suggesting to wear long attire when jungle trekking. As for me, i'm very scared to get bitten by mosquitoes or leeches; maybe from thorny leaves... Otherwise, you've done a great job!!

[@suezbibzmohdyusoff8498]

Wow your subscribers 16.4K well done..👍

[@viruz-xgodfather6291]

Semacam je sibotak ni memuji ivana.semua ivana..btw enjoy it n make it fun to your holiday.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Vloggers only on the private beach!

[@kunawisokaguro]

thumbs up high Ivana! remember to search google about the leg scar (astrological-like in the stars) positions. i'd say it was worth the hike if Ivana straight away jumped into the water when completed (that's what i'd do to wash off those wounds too lol) happy to see visitors enjoying Malaysia... travel safe!

[@JenutTN]

Good Job Ivana! My last trip to Pulau Kapas was in 1992 during my university days when it was new to tourism. Did the walk to the place overlooking Gemia Island too. Not much different after 28 years

[@JetLagWarriors]

Still beautiful, after nearly 3 decades! Mother nature is undefeated. Great stuff

[@JenutTN]

@@JetLagWarriors On your way to Kelantan, have a stop at Terrapuri Heritage Village in Pantai Penarik (1 hour from Kuala Terengganu) if you have time. You can see how the owner transformed centuries old Malay houses into a resort. Call their Kuala Terengganu office at 09 6262020 and speak to the owner Mr Alex Lee. He's aware you're in Terengganu now.

[@dharmaosman184]

Yes Steve. May not be worth it to take the hike but it showed us one thing obvious and that is her absolute love towards you. The hike was easy peasy for you. You had been to much more challenging stuff but not so for Ivana. She is not used to it and we can see the grimace on her face. Still she went for it. For you. At least that is what I believe it to be.

[@JenutTN]

@@JetLagWarriors If you still remember, I recommended you to have a stop at Terrapuri. Now you have stayed there twice. 😅😅

[@farahbahazelan3374]

Good job ivana! I would cry half way!

[@linadahlin5]

Good job Ivana! Me also might have that difficulty since I didn't work out for quite long time

[@shuhadayaacub6682]

U can take a boat to Pulau Singa RM10-15 only... No need to hiking that much... But If u love the adventure...here u go!!!

The size of that lizard! Those lizards ain't playing in Pulau Kapas! Looks incred guys!

[@JetLagWarriors]

Lol! No kidding! I was wondering what a lizard like that eats. Definitely nothing like that in Canada lol

[@zaharizak]

It's monitor lizard.. Very common in the kampung. They prey on livestocks such as chickens and ducks and even farmed fishes.

[@adnanabubakar5642]

Just wait until you see the ones at Pulau Perhentian Kecil, man, they are really humungous motherf****rs, scared the daylight out of me when I was there.
