ABOUT

What can you know about PERHENTIAN ISLAND? Before you going for a vacation, lets take a look at some information about this beautiful island! Perhentian Island was located at East Coast of Malaysia which is Kuala Terengganu. Perhentian Island are two island named Pulau Perhentian Kecil and Pulau Perhentian Besar. Usually Perhentian Kecil attract more visitor as it has cheaper accommodation while Perhentian Besar a little bit expensive since it is suitable for families and people that wanted some privacy. The best time to go to Perhentian Island was between the beginnings of June until the late of October. Outside this period the sea will be very rough and it is not safe to the visitor to enjoy and create a splendid moment. Furthermore, most accommodation are closed and please do not believe travel agencies when they claimed the accommodation is open. Plan your trip, read and observe and enjoy your holiday.

WHERE TO STAY?

• Perhentian Kecil

Most backpacker prefers to stay around Perhentian Kecil since it has a cheaper price than Perhentian Besar. As for me, I choose to stay in Perhentian Kecil since I am going there with some of my friend and we wanted to have fun and enjoy listening to the live band near to our resort.  The most popular destination in Perhentian Kecil is in Pasir Panjang on the eastern coast of Perhentian Kecil where private chalet with fan, electricity and bathroom can start at 50myr. However, you need to be prepare with the noise from bar and this place was suitable for backpacker not for a family. These are the suggestion places that you can go and check in :

Okay readers, if you are wondering what can you do in Perhentian Island please relax because it offer you a plenty of activities there! You just need to pay and enjoy you trip! Activities in Perhentian Island excess you a lot of energy but it was fun to create a memorable moment. Basically it was limited to scuba diving, snorkeling, sea-kayaking, sunbathing and turtle conservation volunteer but when I was there I was enjoy with the such activities and until now the moment is still in my head 

Seafood barbecue

In Perhentian Island there are some restaurants offer freshly caught seafood barbeque. You just need to choose which one do you prefer the most. The prawns are mind bogglingly and all fishes were so fresh and it taste sweet with a barbecue and black pepper sauce.  You just imagine having a barbecue with your clique or even family under the night sky at the beach. Don’t you think this activity will complete your trip?

Sea Kayak

When you do Kayak you can take off for a while and enjoying yourself
feel the best view of underwater. Here is the picture if me get of out of the Kayak just to touch the
sand. Look at the water, it is so clear that you see through everuthing in the beach

From my past experience sea kayak is the best way to discover more beautiful beaches that you cannot walk around Perhentian island by your own or in a group. This activity was a bit adventure where you need to put a lot of energy to do kayak but it will treasure you a splendid moment. By doing kayak,  if you feel tired just stop for a while and enjoy the view around you and jump into the beach for a minutes just a quick time dip to cool off your body. Enjoy doing this once you get there people!

Snorkeling

Snorkel is the best activity that I ever did in Perhentian Island. As the water just like a mirror and you actually can see the entire exotic living thing from your boat. Imagine if you are in the water feeding the fishes and touch the corals by your own. I suggest you to do half days snorkel trip and get the locals to take you to the best reefs. Once you get there, take off from the boat and do snorkel and take it all in. If you’re lucky you will find turtles and also harmless reef sharks.
