TAMAN LAUT SULTAN ISKANDAR – DESTINASI PERCUTIAN YANG DAMAI

Apabila disebut hendak bercuti di pulau, pasti yang terlintas di kepala orang ramai ialah Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Tioman, Pulau Kapas, mungkin juga akan sebut Pulau Langkawi. Memang benarlah pulau-pulau tersebut dah gah dan popular sebagai destinasi percutian sama ada di kalangan rakyat tempatan mahupun pelancung luar negara.

Malaysia sebenarnya memilikki pulau-pulau yang indah sebagai destinasi percutian yang menawarkan pelbagai aktiviti berasaskan marin seperti snorkeling, selam scuba, berkayak, kembara pulau dan sebagainya.

Pada April 2018, saya berpeluang mengikuti satu rombongan Malaysian Travel Writers Association of Malaysia (TRAM) dengan kerjasama Tourism Johor untuk menikmati percutian di pulau-pulau yang terletak dalam kawasan Taman Laut Sultan Iskandar (TLSI) yang terletak di puar pesisir pantai timur Johor sekitar Mersing.

Pulau-pulau sekitar perairan pantai timur Johor ada yang sudah terkenal seperti Pulau Sibu, Pulau Rawa, Pulau Aur. Rombongan kami pula menerjah pulau lain yang kurang popular iaitu Pulau Besar dan Pulau Tinggi selama 3 hari 2 malam.

Rombongan kami bertolak dari MATIC di Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur se awal jam 5.30 pagi menuju ke bandar Mersing sebelum menaiki bot laju ke Pulau Besar. Perjalanan mengambil masa lebih kurang 8 jam dari Kuala Lumpur ke Mersing.

Dari jeti Jabatan Laut Johor di Mersing, kami menaiki bot laju yang setiap satunya memuatkan maksima 12 penumpang, membelah ombak dan sekali-sekali terhempas apabila bot meluncur atas ombak. Ia merupakan satu pengalaman baru bagi ramai daripada kami yang menjerit bukan kerana takut tetapi kerana keseronokan. Tempias air laut yang memercik setiap kali bot dilambung dan terhempas adalah rencah dan asam garam menaiki bot membelah laut itu.

Ketibaan rombongan ke Pulau Besar disambut oleh lagu ala Hawaii gitu yang dipersembahkan oleh pekerja Bayu Lestari Resort. di jeti persendirian mereka. Mujurlah tidak ada tarian gelek nampak pusat, mungkin ada anggota rombongan terjatuh laut kerana asyik.

Bayu Lestari Resort (BLR) adalah diantara resort yang terdapat di Pulau Besar selain Aseania dan D’Coconut ResortBayu Lestari Resort mengandungi chalet-chalet individu dan berciri privacy sesua untuk percutian keluarga, pasangan berbulan madu mahupun berkumpulan. Di samping chalet terdapat juga dua villa yang boleh memuatkan lebih ramai pengunjung ataupun keluarga yang ramai. Vila-vila dua tingkat tersebut terletak di pesisir pantai dan mengadap laut.

Sewaktu santai di Bayu Lestari Resort terasa sekali ketengangan dan jauh dari hiruk pikuk holiday makers kecuali desiran ombak yang tidak jemu-jemu menghempas pantai berpasir putih dan halus. Ternyata kebersihan pantainya begitu ketara sekali tanpa kelihatan sampah terdampar mahupun sisa plastik yang dihanyutkan oleh ombak.

Terletak di dalam kawasan Taman Laut, pembangunan Pulau Besar begitu terkawal sekali dari pembinaan yang di luar kawalan. Persekitaran semulajadinya masih terpelihara dibendung suasana damai dan selesa.
