Pulau Simbang is a privately-owned, uninhabited island situated 20 nautical miles Southeast of Mersing at the East-Coast of the South China Sea, the island is renowned and closest to Pulau Tinggi. Though it is a secluded and virtually untouched island, it is easily accessible, as a 20-minute speed-boat ride will bring you from the Tanjung Leman Pier to the island.
From 1997 to 2010, Pulau Simbang was used to film Expedition Robinson, a highly popular Swedish reality TV show which was the predecessor to the island castaway series Survivor. In 2012, Pulau Simbang and a handful of other islands in the Seribuat archipelago were used to film the Dutch, Belgian and Finnish Survivor series “Expedition Robinson”
