Pulau Kukup National Park in pontian Johor of southern Malaysia. The island park now features new boardwalks through mangrove forest as well as multi-level observation towers, and is well worth a half day visit. The park is located about an hour’s drive from the Tuas border with Singapore, and is close to Tanjung Piai National Park (the most southern point in mainland Asia). A boat to the island costs 15 MYR return and is available from near the ferry terminal. Note that the ferry terminal itself is for those travelling to Indonesia – the Pulau Kukup ferry goes from an area to the right of the terminal entrance. 

The Pulau Kukup National Park entrance fee is 21 MYR for non-Malaysians, and less for Malaysians. A lot  facilities recently, with the boardwalks all rebuilt and sturdy.  Signage is decent and claims the island is home to wildlife including mangrove pit vipers and dusky leaf monkeys.
