Since the reefs and crystal-clear waters around the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia are home to a diverse variety of coral, sea turtles, sharks, and colorful fish, they are incredibly popular with snorkelers and divers. Travelers flock to these islands to unwind, slow down, and take in the laid-back pace of island life. The islands are worth the extra cost, even if they are more expensive than the rest of Malaysia.

Sunset

It takes a few minutes to get to Coral Bay on Kecil, the ideal location to watch the sunset. There are a few small, unnamed beaches close to D’Lagoon where you can enjoy the view in a more relaxed atmosphere if you’d prefer to observe it away from the crowds.

Sea Kayaking

For sea kayaking, the waters near the islands are ideal. Budget between 60 and 80 MYR for a rental. One of the most well-liked locations for kayaking is Long Beach, although you can also paddle Kecil’s 14 km (9 km) coast in 3-5 hours.

Relax at Adam & Eve Beach

People typically come here to unwind and tan on one of Kecil’s least populated beaches. It is remote northwest of the island and has crystal-clear water, ideal for snorkeling. You may avoid the crowd because not many people make it here. Bring a book and snack, then unwind all afternoon.
