MALAYSIA’S EXOTIC ISLANDThese 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 #tripblazersTroupeth8

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.Zatiey Aziz6

Snorkel, dive and chill on Perhentian IslandsI 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 😊 #gooutside #malaysia #island #travelExplore The Earth4
vitamin sea ☀️ 🌊finally got my vitamin-sea❤️ definitely will return here again someday and hoping this place is still the same 🌊#staycationAndyuna10
A little of ocean escapism!Perhentian Island gonna be one of my favourite location for staycation. I’ve been there so many times. Never a refuse for this place. I love all the things here. No need a luxurious and famous resort to get a nice view. I’ve stayed at Cozy Island Resort which really affordable around RM300 +++. They also provide a really nice food with a reasonable price. If you wanna take a walk, can just go through the beach from the hotel to another one. Also, you can watch the stunning view of sunset. If you love marine activities, can choose scuba diving or snorkeling. It’s really nice for you to off your day with a great ambience.Lunaqiqi4

Perhentia Island: The Haven of MalaysiaPerhentian Islands, located off the northeastern coast of Malaysia, are a tropical paradise known for their pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and crystal-clear waters. My experience on the Perhentian Islands was nothing short of idyllic. The islands, namely Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil, offer a laid-back atmosphere, making them a perfect retreat for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil escape. The powdery white sand beaches and lush greenery create a picturesque backdrop against the turquoise sea. Snorkeling and diving in the rich marine ecosystem were the highlights of my visit. The vibrant coral gardens teeming with diverse marine life, including colorful fish and sea turtles, provided a mesmerizing underwater spectacle. Exploring the underwater world felt like entering a living, kaleidoscopic paradise. The local culture on the islands is warm and welcoming. The relaxed pace of life, absence of motorized vehicles, and simple yet delicious local cuisine contributed to the overall scharm of the islands. Watching the sunset on the beach, with the sound of gentle waves in the background, was a serene and unforgettable experience. Perhentian Islands, with their natural beauty and tranquil ambiance, left a lasting impression. It's a destination that perfectly balances relaxation with the allure of marine adventures, creating memories of a tropical paradise that will linger in my mind for a long time. #couplestrip #awesomepic #deliciousfoodMTI Antu

Healing trip to Perhentian Island Terengganu. Paid for craving to nature,beach and very peaceful palace,sound beach melody and seeing the seaview, village and and sea life. snorkle to enjoy the marine view,coral view,many kind of fish, till the stress of work been deleted temporary😂🤭💥
This island gives you a combination of both; quiet place to enjoy swimming and to refresh your soul, and a night party if you crave for one..😉 Not to mention some super delicious food all throughout the day and special grilled seafoods at night! The island where I did some of my memorable firsts, indeed a place I hold close to my heart.
A great place for relaxing and rejuvenating. Attractive packages for island tour, snorkeling, and diving available.
I stayed on the Perhentian Islands (small island) for 3 days and 2 nights from August 1st to 3rd, 2023. The place is amazing, offering numerous beach options. You can go hiking to see a turbine and visit the sunset viewpoint. There's a fire show every night, and don't forget to embrace the sunrise view in the morning. You can also rent a taxi boat to reach various destinations around the island. The only downside is that water and food here are quite expensive, with 1500ml of drinking water costing RM4.00. Despite that, the island is worth a visit for its calmness and good vibes.
Perhentian Island is an ideal beach resort for a leisurely family vacation in Malaysia. Surrounded by lush greenery, facing white sandy beaches and a warm blue sea.
Amazing island with friendly villagers. The best snorkeling point for those sea lovers.
In addition, Perhentian Island also offers a lot of budget accommodation for those of you who want to save money
