Rubiah Island - Sabang Aceh

For those who love an adventure and visit a new place, Rubiah Island should be the next destination,  It belongs to Weh Archipelago and located near to Sabang City (in the west part of it)

Rubiah Island is a small island about 200m from the jetty at Iboih beach. You can charter a small boat which will take you there and back for about IDR 200000.
The island is famous for its underwater scenery and peaceful nuance. That means you can enjoy both relaxation and water sports like snorkeling or swimming. Somehow, the island is good for photography too.

If you want to see underwater paradise, you will be in the right place, this is one of the good island with view snorkling spot, even you can see a lot of dolphin at early of the morning.




Visiting Rubiah Island is incomplete if you do not learn a little bit history of the site. The name derives from a woman named Nyak Rubiah, one of 44 holy guardians of Sabang City. Tourists can learn more about such legend from the locals, actually. Another charm of the island is the presence of a coral transplantation site. On the site, tourists can learn how to cultivate and retain corals!
