Pulau Perhentian Pulau Perhentian consists of 2 main islands which are located about 25km away from the

town of Kuala Besut. The smaller island is known as Perhentian Kecil and bigger one is called Perhentian Besar. If you are not familiar with Bahasa Malaysia, "Kecil" means small and "Besar" means big. Unlike the bigger and more developed islands of Pangkor or Langkawi , these 2 islands are still seeing a slower pace of development where there are no roads or airport facilities. Accessibility to the islands and getting from one part of the island to another is by ferry or boat. Electricity is generated by using the local generators located on the island itself. There isn't any 5 Star Resort accommodation on these two islands. If you are looking for a place to snorkel, scuba diving, swimming or just spending some time away from the routine of everyday life, these beautiful islands are worth considering visiting. Due to the North-Easterly Monsoon season, most resorts are opened only from February to October. The best months to go are between June to August. The island status as part of Pulau Redang National Marine Park means that most of the marine life are still intact until today. You will have to pay a token sum of RM5/adult and RM2.50/child as conservation fees to enter the islands. Take note that fishing, littering, collecting of corals or polluting the environment are strictly prohibited here.
