Lot 55/56, Coral Bay Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Terengganu, Malaysia, 22300, 609-6977960
Day 127 - The bus got in to Kota Bharu at 6am and I walked to the bus station in the dark feeling very tired. I enquired after a bus to the Perhentian ISLANDS which incidentally sounds a lot like THAILAND, and was subsequently put on a public bus to the thai border! When I arrived at the end of the line and was woken by an old guy tapping meon the shoulder, I thought it didn't seem right... why would you need immigration to get to the islands... and then I realised! Buggar! As the border is c...
Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Malaysia becpowell After 4 days relaxing and snorkelling on the beach, we headed off to the Perhentian Islands to relax and snorkel a bit more!
It wasn't quite as relaxing as you might imagine though, it is high season in Malaysia at the minute and with a public holiday in neighbouring Singapore, we heard that accommodation would be difficult to find – we didn’t realise quite how difficult. There are two Perhentian Islands, one is a big island full of resorts, the other is full of beachside b...
I: Getting to the east coast was very easy and it took us only seven hours by a nice bus with declining seats to sleep in. Everything in Malaysia seems so effortless! It really is a tourist paradise - but maybe not a backpacker country. Although, we didn't see anything else in Malaysia except KL and the Perhentian islands, so we can't say for sure. Kecil is the smaller island out of the two Perhentian islands and it's the less 'resorty' as the bigger island, Besar. Kecil is quite small and th...
Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Malaysia ipaloPerhentian Island Paradise! From Cheryl: These islands truly were a bit of paradise! I have to admit, if it was not for Jamie, Kate, Amy, and Kimberley, I am not sure we would have ever even FOUND these islands! Located off the coast of Malaysia are two small islands that you can only get to after a visit to a small fishing village where you can secure passage to them. After they load you up with a life vest and your luggage off you go for about a 45 minute boat ride to the remote location. W...

... even followed a rather endearing turtle who seemed to find our pursuit quite puzzling, judging by the comical expression on his face. At the second spot our guide gave us some bread and we had loads of fun throwing small pieces to the fish; we would get under the water and drop a piece and watch as hundreds and hundreds of fish swarmed around trying to get a nibble. A particularly amusing trick was to throw bread in another persons face and watch ...
Perhentian Kecil, Terengganu, Malaysia alastair6... had shacks lining the beach. We were definitely in the middle of nowhere. <br><br>We found our way to the Maya Chalet and immediately noticed that we got totally ripped off at the travel agency at the port city. Instead of it costing 55 MYR a night, Maya really cost 45 MYR so the lady got quite a hefty commission through us. To put it this way, the place was really worth about 20 to 30 MYR. Why? Because it was a dump. Straight up, I won't beat around the bush. This place was ...

Dinner our first night was a beach BBQ of Marlin, Squid, and Prawns.<br><br>The next week we switched between eating, sun tanning, swimming, Frisbee, and snorkeling. One day we booked a snorkeling tour where we saw black tip reef sharks, massive green turtles, bump head parrot fish, and a stingy ray. The water was really warm, we could snorkel right ...
Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Terengganu, Malaysia arikandcharis... he used it for was to ride from one end of long beach to the other, about a 10 minute walk. No proper electricity either, although most places had a generator so they could have power during the night. The only downside was the extortionate cost of alcohol. A small can of tiger was 10RM (about 2 pounds) so we resorted instead to 'monkeyjuice'. This is a Malaysian rum which is called Orang Utan on the bottle, but ...
