Hate to drive but love to go places? If you are like me, sometimes I would just leave the car at home to avoid the traffic jam and seek alternative transportation. Whether you want to go across town to explore the heritage site in Georgetown or going out of town to Kuala Lumpur or even Singapore, the transportation convenience is just close by your doorstep of Putra Marine. Yes, as someone who have experienced such convenience, I would highly recommend the services of the public transportation below for safety and comfort. Here are some ideas you will for your consideration.

3. Island Hopping - Ferry to Pulau Jerejak (The Alcatraz of Malaysia)
Sometimes we are so focused on going places, we just didnt see or appreciate the popular attraction right beside us. Like we live beside Disneyland and havent been to Disneyland when others fly thousands of miles away just to visit Disneyland. Yes, the Jerejak Island Resort jetty is right beside Putra Marine less than 5 mins walk away. This is a wonderful place to visit and relax and I highly recommend it. And the view of Putra Marine from Jerejak Island itself is amazingly beautiful.

Pulau Jerejak or 'Jerejak Island' has a rather colourful and dubious past. In the early 19th century, the British used it as a health quarantine centre immigrants heading to the main island. A hospital for tuberculosis patients was later built on the island. Later, a prison colony was established called the Jerejak Rehabilitation Centre. It's also known as the Alcatraz of Malaysia because of its remoteness and inaccessibility. Nevertheless, several inmates actually managed to escape. Nowadays, the island is a favourite amongst nature lover with its rich flora and fauna. It's also a great place for birdwatching. On a good day, you can catch a glimpse of exotic species such as the White Bellied Sea Eagle.
