Perhentian Islands Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
MALAYSIA’S EXOTIC ISLAND
These coral-fringed, secluded islands offer plenty of opportunities for kayaking, exploring, snorkeling, and scuba diving (including the popular site of a sugar hauler wreck), as well as a chance to volunteer with local organizations in green and hawksbill turtle conservation efforts.
The islands have remained underdeveloped, which means no major hotels, restaurants, or facilities are available on the island. For those wanting to stay overnight, there are a couple of guesthouses and homestay options but little else.
Jungle trekking is another major draw, as paths here zigzag through the islands, connecting beaches with each other and cutting through dense forests where monitor lizards and monkeys live. Paved trails also connect Coral Bay with a nearby beach, as well as a picturesque fishing village.#newyearadventure #awesomepic #couplestrip #tripblazers

Perhentian Island Terengganu
#2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #couplestrip #fallingforfall
Another set of beautiful Malaysian islands, no better no worse than many of the others - I find it difficult to pick a favourite - none are perfect, all have been worth visiting. Kecil island, where we stayed, was lovely, on the west side, near Rainforest Beach - it was quiet at the midway point and lots of beautiful rainforest and beaches and charm. Again, some of the resorts are a little 'heavy', but there are plenty of places to retreat to. The east side of the island, with Long Beach, was too noisy, busy and built up. We arranged transport with our hotel, who picked us up at the airport and took us to the island, RM250, round-trip. It was a good value well organised option. Perhentians are worth a visit - a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the sea and views.

Snorkel, dive and chill on Perhentian Islands
I love Perhentian Islands for the shimmering blue water, snorkeling and diving.
Here’s my guide on how to get there, what to do and where to stay:
🛥 Getting there - To get to the Perhentian Islands you’ll need to take a boat from Jetty Kuala Besut. Ferry takes about 30 minutes and tickets cost approximately 30-40MYR. Please make sure to check what boat you’re taking, once I took a smaller boat and all of my belongings and me were soaking wet, all of my devices were ruined and the boat company didn’t take responsibility. Take a bigger boat or one where you’re covered.
To get to the Jetty Kuala Besut, take a taxi from Kuala Terengganu Airport and to get to Kuala Terengganu, buy plane tickets from Kuala Lumpur ✈️
🏨 Hotels - not all of the hotels on Perhentian Islands can be booked in advance, only the good once. If you require good standard, stay at the Perhentian Islands Resort. If you’d like to experience local culture, you can choose a guesthouse from the list of places they give you once you arrive on the island. They are very rustic so I always book in advance.
You can also camp there, there are accommodations that provide camping equipment.
🐠 Attractions - Diving and snorkeling 🤿 are the most popular attractions on the Perhentian Islands, there are a lot of corals so you can see a lot of fish and other sea creatures under the water.
🍲 Restaurants - the restaurants are all very rustic, I recommend ordering local dishes such as Nasi Goreng Ayam (Chicken Fried Rice) and Nasi Lemak (Butter Rice with Chilli Sauce, anchovies and peanuts).
Enjoy your trip to the Perhentian Islands 😊

Great Sunset by the Beach
The Perhentian Islands are islands in Besut District, Terengganu, Malaysia. The two main islands are Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil. The small, uninhabited islands of Susu Dara, Serengeh and Rawa, lie off Kecil. Like Besut, people generally speak Kelantanese Malay. However, English is also widely spoken. There are five more islands in the Perhentian archipelago other than Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil. These five islands are uninhabited, but are sometimes used as snorkeling and scuba diving sites. Three of the islands, Rawa, Serengeh and Tokong Burung, are accessible by boat.

Pulau Perhentian Besar Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Pulau Perhentian: A Paradise for Snorkeling, Diving, and Nature
If you are looking for a beautiful destination for beach lovers, you might want to consider Pulau Perhentian, a hidden gem off the east coast of Malaysia.
The islands are surrounded by coral reefs that are home to hundreds of species of fish, turtles, rays, sharks, cuttlefish, and more. You can join snorkeling or diving trips to various sites around the islands, or simply snorkel from the beach.
Pulau Perhentian is a cluster of islands that offer stunning white sand beaches, crystal clear water, lush jungle, and amazing marine life.
Whether you want to relax on the shore, snorkel with turtles and sharks, dive among colorful corals, or trek through the forest, Pulau Perhentian has something for everyone.
Getting There - from Kuala Lumpur or other major cities in Malaysia via plane or bus to Terengganu, then a 40mins speedboat from Kuala Besut jetty to the islands.
Attractions - Snorkeling, diving, trekking etc
Hotels - Many hotels around the island e.g. Mimpi Perhentian Resort

Perhentian Besar
Stretching along the west coast of Perhentian Besar – or ‘Greater Perhentian’ – Main Beach is, well, the main beach on the island. Here you can find the majority of its bars, restaurants, and hotels. These are decidedly more upmarket than the ones on Perhentian Kecil. Its gorgeous white sands are beautifully backed by lush rainforest, and swimming in the inviting waters or snorkeling above its coral reefs is a divine experience.
Although at various points rocky outcrops prevent you from strolling any further along the beach, you can easily circumnavigate these by taking a short walk through the forest. In addition to all the marvelous scenery all around you, from Main Beach, you can easily book scuba diving or snorkeling tours if you want to explore the islands’ many underwater marvels.

SEA THROUGH WATER AT PULAU PERHENTIAN
Located on the east coast of Malaysia, Pulau Perhentian consists of a cluster of islands blessed with crystal-clear water, fine sand beaches, swaying coconut trees, and breathtaking marine life. Popular amongst snorkelers, divers, families, and beach lovers in general, it is the perfect little slice of paradise to just relax, soak up the sun, and spend hours in the water.#perhentianisland #perhentiankecil #perhentianbesar
Pulau Perhentian consists of 2 main islands which are located about 25km away from the town of Kuala Besut. The smaller island is known as Perhentian Kecil and bigger one is called Perhentian Besar. If you are not familiar with Bahasa Malaysia, "Kecil" means small and "Besar" means big.
Unlike the bigger and more developed islands of Pangkor or Langkawi , these 2 islands are still seeing a slower pace of development where there are no roads or airport facilities.
Accessibility to the islands and getting from one part of the island to another is by ferry or boat. Electricity is generated by using the local generators located on the island itself. There isn't any 5 Star Resort accommodation on these two islands.

Sunnie, Most beautiful beach
The ocean is beyond beautiful!!!
Water is clear even near the beach, you can see everything under the water. Only things I would like to recommend to pre-book your hotel. You can't get the room if you didn't book and walk in. Almost everything is expensive. Public toilet have to pay 2 Riggits . I love this Island, wants to come back again and again
but there is so many Islands at Perhentian. The long island is always full coz they do have bar and nightclub.
can't brings Pork to those Island.There are many activities package you can buy like snorkeling, turtles island tour and so on. There are a lot of near by islands. We stayed at this Long Island beach. Night life also have a lot of fun. Don't forget to bring your sunscreen.

Long Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Long Beach
This is paradise, better to walk and past by all day ! has a lot of people movement, besides attracting people from all over the world, many beautiful people, if you are communicative you can make friends very easy.
At Long Beach you'll find superb food and good dive centers where they offer diving courses and a lot more.
It's defenitely worth it to go there! Although the whole Island is very beautiful and you should see all of it if you`re there. Waves could be pretty strong too for non-strong swimmers. Surfers would love this stretch though. The view from the rocks at the right end of the beach is awesome.
Anyways, enjoy your stay and let the island surprise you.

🌴 Day Hike at Perhentian Islands
#gohiking
If you have a couple days to spend at the Perhentian Islands, don't forget to attempt a mild hike to the windmill with gorgeous views.
The hiking point starts at Long Beach near MIMPI resort. It's a 20 minute easy hike, but you will need comfortable footwear as the paths are steep. Follow the signboards to the windmill station, and enjoy the breathtaking views at Windmill Point!
