Assalamualaikum
Hey travelers :)
Many more beautiful places here in Malaysia. But, I would like to share with you guys some tips and informations for Perhentian Island.
I have to share my experience here with you. I certainly did not hate the Perhentian Islands. I liked them enough said. I guess what I'm getting at is I went there expecting paradise and lft with a little underwhelmed. Allow me to explain!
I have so much to talk about my previous trip a 3D2N trip to Long Beach, Pulau Perhentian Kecil. Me and my friends, 8 of us went there by car from Kuantan to Kuala Besut, Kelantan. It was around 5 hours of driving. We took a speedboat to Long Beach and I have to tell you it was AMAZING :) The sea water there was blue and it wasn't like an algae color. It was so clear, the sky was clear, and it was just breathtaking view :)
The Perhentian Islands are a popular destination among divers, snorkelers and beach-dwellers. The Perhentian Islands are in fact two islands. Pulau Perhentian Kecil and Pulau Perhentian Besar. The big island has more resort-style accommodation and is known to be more expensive and family-oriented, whereas the small island has a reputation of being cheaper and is more popular among budet travellers and backpackers. So, as a student like me, I decided to save a few dollars and stay on Kecil.
As we arrived there, it was about 10am, we decided to checked out our rooms and put our stuff and get change to a more suitable clothing. We had our basic room with fan, mosquito net, cold shower, dim lighting and a rather rusty toilet we paid only RM70 a night. With electricity only available in the evenings and nights.
We slept for like 3 to 4 hours and woke up around 3pm. Wander around the beach, Find something to eat (do keep in mind that this is a tourist area so prices of everything are marked up by quite a lot) and we spent a couple of hours lazying on the beach, indispersed with dips into the warm water.
Second day, we went snorkelling for 6 points and it's only RM 30. Our snorkelling trip was absolutely incredible. I'm thanking myslef for having an underwater camera (my gopro camera). I can capture pictures and also videos of us while we're in the water!
