In a nutshell
Beautiful Island at MostNorthWestern Part of Indonesia
theo1006 Says: It is good snorkeling at Pulau Rubiah. From the Peune Edenn resort on the east side just walk into the sea and start swimming. Or cross over to the west side of the island where one can jump from the jetty.Domestic tourists - on weekends - tend to stick to the Peune Edenn...
theo1006 Says: One cannot come home from Sabang without being able to say: 'I have been at the north-western limit of the Indonesian archipelago'. But actually the Zero Kilometre Monument marking 'the starting point of Indonesia' is an ugly construction, not even providing a good sea view...
theo1006 Says: Sometimes referred to as Sabang's 'mini volcano', this geothermal area is not even a mini volcano. Yet, judging by the charred tree trunks, the trees must have had the opportunity to grow in historic times and then have been destroyed by increased volcanic activity.We went...
theo1006 Says: Do not expect a big waterfall on an island as small as Weh. Yet as the fall in Pria Laot river is the only one the island can boast of, this small but multi-tiered fall located in protected forest was being made more accessible. Work was in progress surfacing the first...
theo1006 Says: A booklet of the Sabang Tourist Authority states: 'A huge number of Japanese bunkers are scattered across the entire island. This is why Weh Island is known as the “Island of a Thousand Fortresses” The bunkers were all built between 1943 and 1945. They used to be connected...

Locals gather here to enjoy the evening sea breeze. Also to us this nameless fish restaurant on the northern beach of Sabang town looked more attractive than the restaurants in town.
We saw our fish grilled in the open air and savoured it while watching container ships pass by.
Favorite Dish: Grilled fish.

Luggage and bags: Bagpack should be fine for weekend-ers
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring walking shoes (if you want to do some trekking) and most importantly flip flop for any beach trips
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: It's wise to bring your own medical/toiletries supplies.
Photo Equipment: Underwater camera would be perfect. If you need to buy digital cam for this trip, try to find the one with anti-reflective mode, so you could take pics underwater clearly.,.
Miscellaneous: Mosquito repellents and flashlights will also come in handy

theo1006 Says: The Sabang government is working hard to make it easier for tourists to reach the attractions of Weh island. One example we saw was the scraping of the road to the Jaboi Geothermail Spot. And when we visited the Pria Laot waterfall, people were busy surfacing the access...
Rubiah Island's former water supply
theo1006 Says: Nowadays the Peune Edenn Resort on Rubiah Island gets its water from a well. The bathroom reservoir in your bungalow is filled by a pump.But in colonial times, when Pulau Rubiah was used as a quarantine location for pilgrims returning from Mecca, the island had another water...
theo1006 Says: In colonial times, when Pulau Rubiah was used as a quarantine location for pilgrims returning from Mecca, the island must have been more developed than it is now. One remnant of those times are the overgrown paths that led in a long loop between the northern and southern...
theo1006 Says: When we were in Australia in 2005/6 we saw a dead kangaroo (traffic victim) before we had seen a live one. On Weh island monitor lizards perhaps are the most common wild animals - and we also saw a traffic victim before we saw a live one. On Rubiah island we saw two monitor...
theo1006 Says: The Peune Edenn resort lies on the east coast of Rubiah Island. When you cross over to the jetty on the opposite coast, you pass by one of the wonders of the island, the Karantina Haji building. When pilgrims to Mecca still traveled by sea and might return home carrying a...
