PERHENTIAN ISLANDS IN MALAYSIA! My First Impressions, Finding Accommodation & the Best Beach | Vlog!
There are 2 Perhentian Islands, I planned to visit the small one however there is very limited accommodation available online so this is how I spent my first day. I arrived in the Port town of Kuala Besut at 18:30 which was too late to get a boat from Kuala Besut to the Perhentian Islands as the last boat leaves at 17:30 so I got a room in a hotel in town and left at 9:00am the next morning.
The boats run from Kuala Besut to both the big and small Perhentian Island, a return ticket is 70RM plus a 30RM conservation fee.
I had an accommodation recommendation on Long Beach so got off the boat there. After looking around on Long Beach I decided I didn’t really like it so walked to Coral Beach. I really liked Coral Beach and found accommodation to suit by budget for 50RM at Butterfly Chalet in a basic room but with an amazing view!
I spent the rest of the day chilling on Coral Beach and although I had doubted whether I should have visited the Perhentian Islands and instead just gone to Kuala Lumpur from Georgetown I’m glad I did go!
Most of the accommodation is not online on the small Perhentian Island however there are lots of chalets, huts and small hotels on different beaches, you do have to just arrive and look rather than book online.

Perhentian Islands | MALAYSIA, Terengganu | Let's Travel #9
We stayed one week at this amazing place. It was by far one of our favourite places.
The resort was incredible! Almost no people! Amazing beach with warm transparent water. A lot of different animals (monkeys jumping around on the top of the trees, big lizards, baby sharks, etc.)
I loved it and would return there in a heart beat!

PERHENTIAN ISLAND PARADISE IN MALAYSIA! Diving, Snorkelling, Beaches | Perhentian Island Vlog
I found paradise on Perhentian Kecil aka the small Perhentian Island in Malaysia!
In 5 days I enjoyed island life at a slow place but I also went diving as the diving is really great in the Perhentian islands and one of the most popular things to do because it’s the cheapest place to dive in South East Asia.
I went on a 3 hour snorkelling trip where I saw lots of fish, turtles and sharks on the Perhentian islands.
I visited the viewpoint on Perhentian Kecil and walked to some nearby beaches.
I would recommend all of this to you if you are looking for the best things to do on Malaysia’s Perhentian islands!

Malaysia's Perhentian Islands: Pocket Paradise | TRAVEL GUIDES 2018
- Click Subscribe and come travel with us!
Perhentian means place to stop in Bahasa Malay, the language of Malaysia; the Perhentian Islands' crystalline blue water teeming with aquatic life will make you want to do exactly that.
Easily accessible from the northeast coast, the Perhentian Islands are Malaysia's crown jewel of islands. Cheap scuba diving, picturesque beaches, and the chilled vibe of island life cause people to leave their hearts buried in the white sand once they leave.
Two islands make up the inhabited part of Pulau Perhentian, both with their own distinct personalities and devotees. Perhentian Kecil - the small island - tends to attract backpackers, budget travelers, and younger crowds while the larger Perhentian Besar draws in a more mature, resort-oriented crowd.
Visiting the Perhentian Islands
Although tourism is the lifeblood of Pulau Perhentian, the islands have not lost their rough-and-tumble, jungle appeal. There are no structures over two stories tall, no motorized vehicles, and electricity is provided by temperamental generators which could leave you in the dark with no notice.
Very little infrastructure exists on the islands; there are no real sites or activities outside of enjoying the sun and water.
Internet access is spotty and expensive; internet cafes charge US $5 an hour or more.
There are no call centers on the islands, however mobile phones do work in some areas. (Read about cellphone roaming in Southeast Asia, or about Malaysia's Maxis prepaid SIM card.)
Large monitor lizards can sometimes be spotted roaming the island; don't be concerned, these are not Komodo Dragons such as those on Rinca Island!
Warning: There are no banks or ATMs on the islands; thieves target guest houses on Perhentian Kecil because they know that travelers must bring enough cash to the islands.
Perhentian Islands resorts. Accommodations on the Perhentian Islands tend towards the budget to the mid-range, with the Perhentian Island Resort taking up the high end of the scale. Click on the links below to survey your options.
Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Malaysia Hotels
Pulau Perhentian Besar, Malaysia Hotels
Perhentian Kecil
Perhentian Kecil is the rowdier and busier of the two Perhentian Islands. Popular with backpackers from all over the world, the small island quickly fills up during busy season; it is not unusual to find people sleeping on the beach waiting for accommodation!
Perhentian Kecil is divided into two very distinct beaches: Long Beach and Coral Bay. Long Beach is the primary destination on the island with nicer beaches, more nightlife, and more accommodation. Coral Bay is significantly more relaxed and offers slightly lower prices for accommodation and food. Coral Bay is the place to be for glorious sunsets, but most travelers walk back to Long Beach for socializing after.
The two beaches are connected by a jungle footpath that can be walked in 15 minutes.
Perhentian Besar
Also called the big island, Perhentian Besar appeals more to families, couples, and a slightly higher-budget crowd. The island is far quieter and more relaxed than Perhentian Kecil. Luxury bungalow operations resembling small resorts have set up on Perhentian Besar and, unlike their counterparts on the small island, include private bathrooms and air conditioning.
There are three main beach areas on Perhentian Besar, with Teluk Dalam claiming the most secluded stretch of clean, white sand. A rocky stretch of sand known as Love Beach is pretty much the gathering place for people looking to socialize.
Diving the Perhentian Islands
Pulau Perhentian is part of a protected marine park; the diving is superb and very inexpensive. Thanks to a turtle restoration program, sea turtles, as well as sharks, are numerous. A host of dive shops on both islands provide PADI courses and fun dives, starting at US $25 per dive. Visibility is usually around 20 meters during the dry season.
Snorkeling
Snorkel gear can be rented from guest houses and beach shacks for around $3 US a day. Boat trips are available or you can simply walk out into the water.

Perhentian Islands - Tourist Attractions in Malaysia
The Perhentian Islands (Pulau Perhentian in Malay) lie approximately 10 nautical miles (19 km) off the northeastern coast of West Malaysia in the state of Terengganu, approximately 40 miles (64 km) south of the Thai border.
The two main islands are Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) and Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian). The small, uninhabited islands of Susu Dara (Virgin Milk), Serenggeh and Rawa lie off Kecil. The Perhentians belong to Pulau Redang National Marine Park, which means that fishing, collecting coral and littering are strictly prohibited. Like Besut, people here generally speak Kelantanese Malay.
