Cruises from Pulau Penuba
Pulau Penuba is a small Indonesian island (11km by 4km) in the Lingga Archipelago, which lies south of Riau Archipelago, which in turn is just 125 km south of Singapore. It is part of Riau Islands Province. Historically, the Sultanate of Johor, with capital on Bintan Island (a Riau island SE of Singapore) was formally divided in 1824 – the British side of Johor (south Malaya) and Singapore (British) to the north of Singapore Strait, and the Dutch side of Riau to the south.
