Perhentian Island|I would recommend it to everyone who goes to Kuala Terengganu!

I went to Perhentian Island and stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. The experience is really great🥹! ! ! The island is not very big and has not been over-exploited. You can see small animals everywhere, such as squirrels, monkeys, lizards... The prices are low, the accommodation is good, and the experience of eating, drinking and having fun is very good. Compared with other islands, Perhentian Island has fewer people and more European and American people, so it can have better contact with nature. 🗺️Route: 1) Depart from Kuala Lumpur and fly to Kuala Terengganu (Sultanahmet International Airport), which takes about 1 hour. You can go to another closer airport (Kota Bahru Airport). Because we wanted to drive along the coastline of Terengganu, we chose Kuala Terengganu. If necessary, I will write a separate note for the self-driving strategy. 2) After leaving the airport, take a Grab taxi directly to the pier (kuala besut jetty), and you will arrive at the pier in an hour and a half. 3) Take a boat from the pier to Perhentian island besar. There is no need to buy tickets in advance. When you arrive at the pier, someone will stop you and sell tickets. It is 35 MYR/person one way, so don’t buy it expensively. Remember to buy your return ticket as well. 🏠Accommodation: PIR, said to be the best hotel on the island. In front of the hotel is the most beautiful beach on the island! When I booked, it cost about 600 per room/night! You can choose a room near the seaside, and you can see the sea when you open the door. Everyone must book a hotel early, otherwise there will be no room! ⚠️The hotel can also exchange cash, and the exchange rate will be a little higher. 🍴Eating: It is recommended to eat at the hotel next door (coral view). It is cheap and delicious. It looks ordinary, but the taste can be said to be amazing! The swing at the entrance of this hotel is also very suitable for taking pictures. After eating, you can take a stroll and enjoy yourself. 🤿Snorkeling: The hotel can choose various marine entertainment projects. Because we went fishing the next day (the fishing guide will be posted separately), we only experienced snorkeling. There are about 40 people per person, and the duration is 2-3 hours. We will take a boat to other islands for snorkeling. We will go to about three snorkeling spots. The water is very clear and there are many corals and fish. That’s all I can think of for the time being, but the happiness of these three days at Perhentian Island is more than just that, feel free to ask
