Perhentian Islands

Terengganu is such a stunning place, packed with beautiful beaches and picture perfect islands everywhere you look. Our 2D1N trip to Perhentian Island was amazing n I can’t recommend it enough if you’re craving a tropical escape. It’s only about a half hour boat ride from the jetty but if you want to dodge the crowds, Id suggest going during the week. The island is like a paradise..crystal-clear waters, lush greenery, and coconut palms as far as the eye can see. The whole vibe is pure tropical bliss n there’s something for everyone here. Snorkeling is an absolute must. Idd recommend bringing along some snacks and water to keep yourself fueled while you're out on the boat. The marine life is incredible n the fish are super friendly! Sadly, we didn’t spot any turtles this time but there’s always next time. And if you’re on a budget, don’t worry! You can still have an awesome time on the island without spending too much. Try stocking up on snacks before you leave the mainland or consider staying in Kampung Nelayan, which is more affordable...--or even camping! I’m already itching to plan my next trip back n I’m sure you’ll want to add Perhentian to your travel bucket list too. So pack your bags, grab some sunscreen n get ready to experience nature at its best!

I can’t say enough magical things about this island. The fact that you have to take a bus and ferry here makes it feel remote in all the best ways. I spent a week on Long Beach at Oh La La and for a whole month spent in Malaysia, Perhentian’s was the absolute highlight.
