Afternoon Fish Feeding Frenzies
Daihappydai Says: Although visibility in the water is not as good in the afternoon due to the position of the sun, late afternoon appeared to be the time when large schools of fish would having a feeding frenzy in the waters alongside Yulia's.
Colorful fish on the west side of Pulau Rubiah
Daihappydai Says: Because visibility in the afternoon is so good, it is well worth the effort getting across to Pulau Rubiah to snorkelling in the relatively calm waters of the west side. You will find a wide variety of small, colorful fish scavenging amongst the broken coral in depths of...
Clam Heaven - Pulau Rubiah west side
Daihappydai Says: The west side of Pulau Rubiah is were the boats drop passengers travelling from Iboih beach. The water is much calmer on this side and visibilty in the afternoon is very good. It can get quite crowded on weekends. But if you are into clams, this is the place to go. There are...
Daihappydai Says: On the east side of Pulau Rubiah are the 'sea gardens'. Snorkellers can access them from a small beach - beware the changing tide if you leave things on the beach. The water can be fairly choppy and there are many rocks to navigate before getting into deeper water. In the...
Daihappydai Says: It is possible to swim to Pulau Rubiah - about 200 metres from Iboih depending upon your starting point. The currents can be strong so it is recommended to use fins/flippers and probably best not to swim alone. It is not difficult to take a sarong, a camera, and a small...

Daihappydai Says: Pulau Weh is certainly a place to relax and it is easy to forget any possible concerns. But it is important to be aware that weather conditions can impact travelling to and from the island. I had planned a seven day stay which turned into eight due to ferry cancellations. I...

Fast and slow boats to Pulau Weh
Daihappydai Says: It is probably important to check with a few people about ferry times to Pulau Weh from Ulee Lheue ferry terminal. In January 2012 both the fast and slow boats were departing twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.Both boats leave Pulau Weh at around 7...
Take care where you place your feet
Daihappydai Says: It is important when swimming or snorkellig without fins that you take care where you place your feet. While snorkelling alongside Yulia's I spotted a seasnake in the rocks very close to shore, along with several different stone fish. While seasnakes are unlikely to bite...
Walking around the low road from Iboih
Daihappydai Says: Entering Iboih village is via a fairly steep hill directly off the well-made main road - the road itself continues around to KM Nol. For some different views, take a walk around the low road leading out of Iboih. It is a new bitumen road that is about 5km in length and...
Daihappydai Says: For some this may not be a fond memory but it reminded me that nature has a right, and hopefully a way, of surviving.I was staying at Yulia's on Iboih Beach and went to the dining area for breakfast. The dining area is a large concrete based open air room built on columns...
