Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) and Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian) are palm-fringed with white sandy beaches. The reefs and crystal clear water are host to a wide range of coral, sea-turtles, jellyfish, small sharks and reef-fish. The islands are also covered in coastal tropical jungle where there are few interior foot-trails and no roads.

The sheer beauty of Pulau Perhentian makes it one of the top destination for tourists. There are a wide range of activities to choose from such as swimming and snorkeling which are the far most popular tourist activities. The water is shallow with lots of rays, cuttlefish and parrotfish in most of its beaches. For diving you could go to northwest Perhentian Kecil where you will find a group of small rocky islets.

Beside swimming, snorkeling and diving, activities such as camping, canoeing, fishing, jungle trekking and banana boat riding could also be enjoyed. Most of the accommodation could be found on Perhentian Besar, the larger island.

The island will reward you with an unforgettable holiday experience!
