Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian Island)
Perhentian Island, located on the east coast of Malaysia in Terengganu state, immediately brings to mind images of beaches, the sea, sunshine, and diving.
Bubu Resort is conveniently situated next to the jetty at Long Beach on Perhentian Kecil, offering views of Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian Island) and stunning sunrises. The area under the jetty is also a great spot for snorkeling.
During holidays, many locals bring their children here to play in the water. It's a paradise for Western tourists and a haven for diving enthusiasts.
Getting there:
You can take an overnight bus from TBS (Terminal Bersepadu Selatan) to Kuala Besut bus station. From there, it's just a 10-minute walk to the jetty. You can book your boat tickets online or purchase them at the counter.
Additionally, there's a jetty entrance fee of RM2 and a marine park conservation fee (RM30 for foreigners vs. RM5 for locals).
Layover:
The last boat departs the island at 4:00 PM. If you need a place to rest while waiting for an evening bus or flight, you can book a room near the Kuala Besut jetty or bus station. As it's a small town, it's advisable to book your layover accommodation in advance, especially during peak season. Sani Bus offers rooms for rent for 3 hours, as shown in the picture below.
The room is large, the bed is large, and there is a small balcony, that is, the hygiene is bad, spider webs and dust can be seen everywhere. I don't know what insects have bitten the milk powder on the floor... In addition to the health problem, the others are very good, the hotel is very large, there is a small playground, but the grass on the grass is withered. Dinner in the hotel's outdoor cafe to eat a set meal, cost-effective, taste good, buffet breakfast 15 MYR a person, coffee with sugar, difficult to swallow, but fortunately I brought coffee to make, children can eat some biscuits brought by themselves.
