Day 2

Pulau Perhentian Kecil

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-1 Days

Location: Pulau Perhentian Kecil

Compared with the big island, although the accommodation and dining conditions are a bit rudimentary, it also has white sandy beaches and dense virgin forests. Walking through the inland area, you can even meet a monitor lizard. The island faces west, and the magnificent sunsets are unobstructed, and the island here is more beautiful. It is also a paradise for backpackers, and the cost is low. It is likely to be a small island with high cost performance in Southeast Asia.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Kriszticske: After a rough journey - delayed flight due to hart attack, 2 times missed connecting flight, bus transfer from Kota Bharu to Kuala Besut jetty, then a crazy good and super fast speed boat trip - we departed to paradise. Small, but comfy island with wide varieties of bars, restaurants, hotels and last but not least chrystal clear blue-green water with amazingly colorful ocean life. If you wish to avoid crowd, planning to travel at the end of Sept. is a good choice.
