Pulau Ketam, literally translated, means “crab island”. It is a small island located off the coast of Klang. The island is easily accessible from the Port Klang jetty by ferry. The “floating houses” that come to view as visitors approach the island is a sight to awe any city slickers. Perching casually on long wooden stilts, these dwellings are suspended about one to ten (1-10) meter above sea level. Pulau Ketam is actually a part of Important Bird Area (IBA) as becoming one of the flyway, which is a flight path used in bird migration. You will be able to spot migratory and water birds during the bird watching activity.
