Unbelievable place. From the road side by the bus station all you see is a few shops and a couple of restaurants. Walk down between these and you walk into a different world. A community living in stilted houses amongst mangroves with the sea beneath them. Totally enchanting with some really good sea food restaurants. Check the tide times to... More

A good place to see something different. The local seems to be very open here as they don't seems to lock their door, although many visitors passed by their houses every minutes.

Well it's a so-so experience coming here, nothing much to see except fishing village, inns, and mangrove forest, seafood restaurant, karaoke and so-so for a place near a sea.. Nothing much to do too.. Am not sure if given the chance I want to visit this place again..

Didn't really think much of the park, probably coloured by my preception of the overall cleanliness of the neighbouring fishing village and the town in general. The hygiene in the fishing village is rather apalling with dust, dirt and grime everywhere. Plumbing is still rather non existent with toilets dumping their 'contents' right into the river / sea. There is... More

The place was dull and it has nothing much to see. It needs a lot of improvement but the seafood there is cheap and worth trying.

We went on a 2 days 1 night trip to Kukup Village last weekend. The last time I came here was about 10 years ago. There are now more holiday resorts in the Village. We stayed in Ocean Resort which is a 2- storey house built on top of the seabed facing the Malacca Straits. Opposite of the Village is... More

You have to take a small boat across from the mainland and you pay an entrance fee of about RM3.00. There are plank walk ways and a lookout tower as well. As they don't have any guides you really don't know what to look for as in most parks they have PArk rangers who can point out they these creatures... More
