PERHENTIAN ISLANDS, Malaysia: Relaxing Beaches and Jungle Adventures

Posted by: kirsty_wilson in Asia, tags: Beaches, Diving, Jungles, Malaysia

Where are the Perhentian Islands?

Perhentian Besar, Malaysia

The Perhentian Islands are scattered beyond the northeastern coast of Malaysia. They infact, lie not that far from the Thai border. The term Perhentian means “a place to stop” in Malay. This came about by the early traders using it as a stopping point enroute from Malaysia to Bangkok. There are two main islands, Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) and Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian).

A water ferry is available to the mainland but the only way of getting around the islands, other than walking, are by the water taxis. Many of the smaller uninhabited islands belong to a protected marine park and fishing, collecting coral and littering are strictly prohibited.

Activities on the Perhentian Islands are limited to scuba diving, snorkeling, sea-kayaking, sunbathing and general relaxation. Those with more sense of adventure and energy may attempt the jungle walking trails on both of the two main islands.

One Great Reason to Visit the Perhentian Islands

One great reason to visit the Perhentian Islands is for the white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters, surrounded by jungle covered hills that make the views from the beach utterly spectacular.
