Trail Pulau Jerejak


View Trail Pulau Jerejak in a larger map

Distance 3.85km



Pulau Jerejak .. I wont say much about this island .. It was prepared historically with two trails here .. the beach trail and the hill trail ..


The beach trail is about 2km, ride with couples easy climbing. Started at Jerejak Resort & Spa Outdoor Center, ride up to the north and you will pass abandoned quarters area that called KEM 4. Nothing much left here, but i could identified the main hall ruin. Surau, kindergarten, and few houses was left untouched. Along the way the trail is Waikiki beach, soccer field, abandoned shooting range, and old cemeteries.




The trail, beach on the left-side while old cemeteries on the right-side.


At the end of the cemetery was called Kebun Pak Dali mark by big tree beside the beach. There was a big hill to climb to cross, but now it seem not like a hill anymore .. Continue ahead till the jetty, it was abandoned and rusty. The jetty was the main entrance to the island during Alcatraz time. Follow along the beach till the tip of the island where the abandoned barrack located on top of the hill. End of route. Ride back to the resort.



The abandoned jetty.



The second route is hill trail. It will lead to the dockyard at the east coast of the island and around 1km only. The trail is one climb to the peak and ride down till you reach the dockyard. Hence the dockyard is restricted area, turn back to resort via the same trail. The ride is cool with the trees roofing along the trail. End of route.


The resort has prepared the rental bikes, but don't expect much.



The rental bikes. Softtail dan hardtail available. RM10/hour


It is good for the resort business if they allowed visitor (especially the bikers) to bring their own bike. Because this should be among the favorite tropical trails that northern region have.


Enjoy ride. Be safe.
