Perhentian Islands

The Perhentian Islands, located off the northeast coast of Malaysia, are well-known for their stunning natural beauty and clear turquoise waters. This group of islands is part of the Terengganu Marine Park and is a popular destination for beach lovers and snorkelers. The two main islands, Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil, offer a variety of accommodations ranging from budget-friendly hostels to more upscale resorts. Visitors can enjoy serene beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Getting to the Perhentian Islands typically involves a boat ride from the mainland town of Kuala Besut. The best time to visit is during the dry season from March to October, when the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. In addition to snorkeling and swimming, visitors can explore jungle trails, go kayaking, or simply relax by the beach. With limited internet access, the islands provide a perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life.
