Snorkel, dive and chill on Perhentian Islands

I love Perhentian Islands for the shimmering blue water, snorkeling and diving. Here’s my guide on how to get there, what to do and where to stay: 🛥 Getting there - To get to the Perhentian Islands you’ll need to take a boat from Jetty Kuala Besut. Ferry takes about 30 minutes and tickets cost approximately 30-40MYR. Please make sure to check what boat you’re taking, once I took a smaller boat and all of my belongings and me were soaking wet, all of my devices were ruined and the boat company didn’t take responsibility. Take a bigger boat or one where you’re covered. To get to the Jetty Kuala Besut, take a taxi from Kuala Terengganu Airport and to get to Kuala Terengganu, buy plane tickets from Kuala Lumpur ✈️ 🏨 Hotels - not all of the hotels on Perhentian Islands can be booked in advance, only the good once. If you require good standard, stay at the Perhentian Islands Resort. If you’d like to experience local culture, you can choose a guesthouse from the list of places they give you once you arrive on the island. They are very rustic so I always book in advance. You can also camp there, there are accommodations that provide camping equipment. 🐠 Attractions - Diving and snorkeling 🤿 are the most popular attractions on the Perhentian Islands, there are a lot of corals so you can see a lot of fish and other sea creatures under the water. 🍲 Restaurants - the restaurants are all very rustic, I recommend ordering local dishes such as Nasi Goreng Ayam (Chicken Fried Rice) and Nasi Lemak (Butter Rice with Chilli Sauce, anchovies and peanuts). Enjoy your trip to the Perhentian Islands 😊 #gooutside #malaysia #island #travel
