	Perhentian Islands travel guide - Wikitravel
		The Perhentian Islands are a small group of beautiful, coral-fringed islands off the coast of northeastern Malaysia in the state of Terengganu, not far from the Thai border.
		The islands are crisscrossed by small paths connecting one beach to another, but be prepared to sweat and swat off bugs if you tackle any of these.
		Perhentian Island Resort on Besar used to be able to do a cash advance but that is not true anymore (July 2007).

		The Perhentian Islands (Pulau Perhentian in Malay) lie approximately 10 nautical miles (19 km) offshore the coast of northeastern Malaysia in the state of Terengganu, approximately 40 miles (64 km) south of the Thai border.
		Both islands are fringed by white sand beach, and the reefs and crystalline water are host to a wide variety of coral, sea-turtles, jellyfish, small sharks and reef-fish.
		Owing to the Islands' protected status, the main tourist activities are minimal in environmental impact: sunbathing, snorkeling, scuba diving, turtle and shark-watching.

	Print Article: Beach numb
		A stay at the Perhentian Islands off the east coast of Malaysia was the best reminder I've had in years of how addictive and pleasurable the simple life can be.
		The larger island, Perhentian Besar, even has a low-key resort, making it the more attractive option for travellers who like their home comforts (such as TV and minibar).
		Perhentian Besar is generally considered the quieter of the two islands, although there are several isolated nooks on Perhentian Kecil, such as Pasir Petani, that provide secluded accommodation.

	The Star, Malaysia : Safeguarding Perhentian Islands
		FOR centuries the Perhentian Islands have been a refuge for fishermen seeking shelter from the storms, traders from India and China, the occasional band of wayward pirates and now the ever-present troupe of bikini-clad tourists.
		Although the Perhentian Islands were considered a well-kept secret only two decades ago, today the beaches are chock-full of resorts, chalets, dive shops and cafes.
		Given the dearth of information on these islands, the expedition is both timely and essential for providing critical data to improve the management of one of Malaysia’s protected marine parks.

	The Deep South & Beyond - Thailand
		As there is so much coastline, with some of the finest islands in Thailand, the opportunity to alternate between one coast and another according to weather and season (which vary from one to the other), and with so much cultural heritage, it is always surprising that the deep south is not flooded with tourists.
		Perhentian Kecil is reputed to be the party island, particularly along Long Beach where budget travelers congregate to drink, snorkel, dive and relax.
		Perhentian Besar is a more laid back island yet equally beautiful with more accessible walking paths as well as deserted rocky coves and nice view of the fishing villages on the small island.

	Tales of Asia - Perhentian Islands
		We decided on the Perhentians, particularly Perhentian Kecil as it's cheaper and there was supposedly good snorkeling on the north end of the island.
		I was on the opposite side of the island, a ten-minute walk through the jungle on a cleared path to a nice secluded beach.
		We got a quick look at Perhentian Besar Island and at one resort, Perhentian Island Resort, an expensive looking one, the water was spectacularly clear and inviting.

		There are no roads on the islands only a few jungle tracks and so all the places to stay are ringed around the coast, with transport largely by boat.
		Coral View Island resort is well named, a fully fledged coral 'house' reef sits just metres off the sandy beach, featuring superb snorkelling opportunities with the outside edge of the reef suitable for shallow 4-6m dives.
		On the first two days we dived on the islands the visibility was a disappointing 4-6m, but still with some wonderful sights and animals to be seen.

	Perhentian Island \| Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu : journeymalaysia.com
		Despite my doubts, I have to admit that my first glimpses of the Perhentian islands were pretty breath-taking.
		The island itself is rather small, there are a couple of walks that take you to the other parts of the island, but I found the best beach to be on Pasir Panjang.
		However, I was disappointed to discover that most of the corals around the island have since been destroyed by speedboats, by too much human contact (and abuse) and general lack of environmental-consciousness by both the resort/restaurant owners and tourists.

	Perhentian Island @ Talk Malaysia
		There are actually two main islands which are known as the Pulau Perhentian Besar and the Pulau Perhentian Kecil which literally means the big and small Perhentian Islands.
		Most of the scuba divers choose to visit the Perhentian Island are because off the shore of the Perhentian Island, there is a large variety of marine life such as stingrays, fl corals, moray eels, sea turtles and many colorful fishes.
		The main difference between the Perhentian Island and the Redang Islands is that, Redang Islands is more like a fancy holiday getaway whereas Perhentian Island is more of a down to earth place where people can enjoy a wide range of natural recreational activities such as snorkeling, jungle trekking and scuba diving.

		Then we got on the boat and as we rounded the island, the sea was so crystal clear that you could see the coral and fish from the boat - we spotted turtles and a manta ray, it was amazing.
		We stayed initially in simple wooden huts on Perhentian Kecil on Long Beach and then moved over to Perhentian Besar and stayed in the upmarket Perhentian Island Resort for the last couple of nights (a/c bungalows, swimming pool etc).
		I actually preferred Perhentian Kecil - the clientele were younger and it was just more fun, cheaper restaurants etc. I'm not too bothered for few days about whether I have air con, hot water etc but if you prefer to have that, there are a couple of air conditioned places on Kecil (small island).

	Perhentian Islands
		The Perhentian are a cluster of islands off the East coast of peninsula Malaysia and are only accessible by a one hour boat trip from the main land.
		Moreover even when the islands are full with 101% occupancy the beaches remain relatively quiet, particularly for those used to the crowds of the Mediterranean or California.
		The islands can also be explored by canoe, the waters are normally calm and you can happily paddle along the shoreline, stopping off perhaps at another beach for lunch.

		Perhentians are relatively undeveloped with only a few more upmarket resorts (none on the scale or standard of Langkawi however).
		Perhentian has changed a lot since then, and I noticed that most of the lower depth sea corals has died or in great danger of dying.
		In terms of accomodation, Perhentian Island is slightly more expensive than redang as most foreigners prefer to stay there as its more peaceful and laid-back.

	Where was b? - Malaysia
		One British girl spoke for us budget travelers, "We bought tickets to the island; were we meant to swim?" It was useless, but the budget travler is ever on the lookout for fleecing and many become downright hostile in their relations with locals.
		She hadn't traveled to an island so far from the mainland, nor had she been surrounded by so many Western people.
		The islands are still lovely, but I'm sure they were more lovely 1 year ago and still lovlier 5 years ago.

		Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian) and Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) comprise the Perhentian Island, aptly named after "henti"(stop) as fishermen from mainland Kelantan and Terengganu have, for centuries, stopped over at the island for a rest or to shelter during a major storm.
		A rocky virgin jungle provides hour of adventures for trekkers who may chance upon flying fox, long-tailed macaques and monitor lizards, while the underneath marine life shows off a splendid garden of coral.

		For most divers, Malaysian diving means the island of Sipadan off Sabah in Borneo, but the environmental restraints and limited space have yet to be effectively controlled, and Sipadan, Mabul and Layang Layang have few facilities for non-divers.
		Lying 50m north of the island of Lima, it rises from 30m to within 10m of the surface and is covered in anemones, gorgonians, tunicates, hard encrusting corals and soft tree corals, with boulder, lettuce, staghorn and acropora table corals.

		We're staying on Perhentian Besar (Big Island) in some really nice chalets looking out over the white sand beach and crystal clear turquoise waters, and about 700m across the bay is the second of the two islands, Perhentian Kecil (Little Island).
		At one of the later stops we were swimming past a coral shelf when Helen spotted a shark swimming ahead of her, but by the time she'd recovered from the shock and called me over, it had long gone.
		The sharks around the island are Reef Sharks about four or five feet long and are extremely timid, so it wasn't until the last stop at Shark Point that I managed to catch sight of a few as they darted between the rocks.

		Both islands are part of the Pulau Redang Marine Park, which also consists of Pulau Redang, Pulau Lang Tengah and Pulau Kapas.

		First boats leave for Perhentian around 8 am and the last boat from the island is at 4 pm and 5 pm from the main land.
