Many people will relate '
Hantu' as the Malay word for ghost and hence the island Pulau Hantu is literally referred to as "
Ghost Island". The island is actually far from the spooky tales and myths of restless spirits or ghosts.

The whole of Pulau Hantu is formed by two separate "Hantu" islets -
Hantu Besar (Big Ghost) and
Hantu Kechil (Little Ghost).
