Perhentian Island well known as a beautiful and a good place for relaxing. There is two main islands, Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) and Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian).
Perhentian Kecil attracts more travellers, youngsters as it has cheaper accommodation, beach party every night with fire chain entertaiment, nice place for snokelling and diving too.While Besar is a little bit more expensive and caters more to families and those who want to avoid the backpacker party scene.
I went to Perhentian Kecil with a few friends. From Kuala Lumpur we took a night bus at 10pm from Hentian Putra and it took us 7.5 hours journey to Kuala Besut (jetty). Bus ticket will cost RM40 one way. We reached Kuala Besut at nearly 6am. From Kuala Besut, we took a speedboat to the island. Journey to the islands takes about 30 to 45 minutes by speed boat. There are a number of boat operators in Kuala Besut offering boat services to Perhentian Island. The return boat ticket cost RM 60.00 per person for speed boat. Once reached the island, we have to take 'water taxi' that cost us RM3.
