Sea Turtle laying eggs

We are very lucky to witness sea turtle laying eggs in their own natural habitat at the beach. The guide will scout the beach first to look for them and will notify us once they have locate the female turtle. In the cover of darkness, we slowly make our way to the site and see how the turtle dig the nest and begin laying the eggs. It is an amazing experience and feel different from watching from television.

Beautiful Nature at Lata Tembakah

#myhiddengems The place is superb! The staffs from jabatan hutan Terengganu did really good job in keeping the place well maintained and they are very friendly. Hiking to the top waterfall is about an hour. Don't give up, hiking trail is easy for anyone. But safety reminder, family with children should be aware as some areas are way too deep for kids. Stunning views, the water there very refreshing and pristine.

Coral View Island Resort 🏝️

#hotelreview We had a pleasant stay at the Coral View Island Resort on Pulau Perhentian Besar. Our 2 Seaview Room Private Pool package offered stunning views and a comfortable living space. The resort's location was excellent, and the private pool was a highlight. Check-in was smooth, and the rooms were cozy. We enjoyed the public pool and mini waterpark, and the resort's cafe served delicious food at reasonable prices. While our trip was enjoyable, the journey to the resort was challenging due to rough seas and a long jetty walk. Despite this, we appreciated the resort's amenities and services. Our experience was overall positive, and we would consider returning & it is a great option for those seeking a relaxing island getaway.

Mini Maldives Beach

One of stops of our snorkeling trip is mini Maldives beach. This white sand beach is breathtakingly gorgeous with its crystal clear blue water and you can feel like you are walking on the beach in Maldives. Really fall in love with this stunning beach.

Dinner at Rumah Calla

Stopped by at this beautiful cafe and restaurant accidentally since the place wanted to have dinner closed and this place didn’t let us down. The vibes were great, food, drinks and desserts were delicious and the prices were reasonable. Recommended to everyone when you are in the area.
