Things to do in the Perhentian Islands

The Perhentian Islands are made up of two individual islands – Perhentian Besar (big island) and Perhentian Kecil (small, pronounced like ker-chill).

On the face of things the Perhentian Islands are one of those ‘go-to’ places for backpackers… beach, bars, swimming… but actually, if you dig a little deeper, you can have a tropical picture-perfect island paradise beach to yourself.

Plus, experiences such as turtle and shark spotting whilst snorkelling just twenty metres off the beach!
