Most Beautiful Place in Malaysia 🇲🇾 Perhentian Islands

- During our time in Malaysia, we've heard a lot about the Perhentian Islands. These islands are known by locals and foreigners as the best beaches in all of Malaysia (which is saying something!). The Perhentian Islands are made up of two main islands - Perhentian Besar (the big island) and Perhentian Kecil (the small island) and tourists can book accommodations on either of these magical destinations. We chose to stay on Perhentian Kecil (the small island) for it's more local feel, and we were really happy with out choice :)
You might be wondering what there is to do on an island with no motorized vehicles and very few inhabitants. The answer is not much and also, so much (if you count relaxing)! The island life pace is exactly what we were hoping for, and you can easily do a whole lot of nothing here. Reading a book on Coral Beach, having a cocktail at Long Beach, and strolling the sand at sunset were some of our favourite activities. If you're feeling a bit more active and adventurous, you can easily rent snorkeling gear and go on a snorkel trip or snorkel right off the beach. Our preference is to go scuba diving though, so that's exactly what we did! You'll have to watch the video to see what we thought of that experience though :)
If you are someone who loves beaches and are looking for a relaxing few days or weeks in Malaysia, we would recommend the Perhentian Islands for sure! To get there, we took an overnight bus from Penang which was totally doable, but you could also catch a flight to Kota Bharu and head a south from there. It is a bit out of the way from the rest of Malaysia's major tourist destination, but in our opinion, it is worth every minute of transit!! If we had been able, we would have stayed for a minimum of one week and even checked out Perhentian Besar.
Malaysia has some amazing beach locations but for some reason, these destinations are less well known in Southeast Asia than the beaches of Thailand or the Philippines. If you get a chance, you should take advantage of this before everyone starts rushing to the Perhentians! These beautiful islands are bound to be discovered by the masses before too long!

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on RUclips, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the
Yes, the water at the east coast is better than the west coast. Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang, Pulau Tioman are some of the popular islands there. On top of that Malaysia also got a lot of beautiful tropical islands at Sabah 🇲🇾
Malaysia is very underated. Absolutle stunning country.
Enjoyable to discover Malaysia with you two, nice to see beyond the cities ✌️❤️🇬🇧much love
Thank you!
Sorry to say, we prefer under rated. We do not like over tourism like in bali and thailand. Perhentian is not 'dirt' cheap. But affordable.
Beautiful video and island guys! ❤️❤️ we definitely need to add it to our list for our next visit to Malaysia
Definitely!! It was so beautiful! We were sad we only had a few days there. We could have stayed for months haha
You are always welcome to east coast.
@@keangwooichoo6138 thank you! I loved this video by my fellow Canadians and friends!
That wreck dive looks incredible!!! The shots of all of the fish are insane!! I bet that was an unreal experience
Looks super beautiful there! New bucket list!!!!
Such a great place to add to your bucket list!
Brother and sister, there are many many dive spots there. You spent 2 days only. You can watch american christopher lau who went to perhentian and lang tengah last year with his family. He is based in thailand. Great vlog from him.
U both like diving u should go Sabah semporna or stay sandakan .there's a lot of diving spot .u both will loving it
Perhentian are gorgeous but i believe the most beautiful island in Malaysia are in borneo Sabah...
We want to go there so badly! One day we will :)
Sometimes you just gotta take time to slow down for a bit, and having a lounge time on the beach followed up with a sunset meal sounds absolutely wonderful to me. Where's your favorite place you've been diving?
Your diving video looks amazing.
Thank you 😁
Perhentian besar is for family resort vibe.
Wow I stayed at Senja Bay Resort back in May, as well!
Did you feel a bit scary in the wooden houses up there, since they are a bit shaky, especially when people pass by? 😆
Yes we did haha. A little old and dated but honestly it was perfect for what we needed!
Should try redang and tioman island too
Yes, especially Tioman, a heaven for snorkeling and scuba diving
❤wonderful
Thank you!
🥰🥰
Hey nice video :) what time you folks visited? Is October good time to visit?
April till July are dry season. October onwards are wet season. Some months during monsoon, perhentian islands are closed (off limits). Staff are placed at sister resorts on the mainland. So do not come end of the year lol. Also by closing off for a few months marine life rejuvenates. This what makes our east coast islands world class. Nature and safety first before profit
I guess for lang tengah and redang are the same. Not sure about tioman island. Still open during monsoon as it is not affected in johor state
Thanks so much for detailed information. Tioman visited a week before it was serene
As a malaysian, my top diving pick for my country based on visitor feedback on vlogs.
1. Layang-layang atoll sabah : hammerhead
2. Sipadan island (the big stuff like sharks, whale sharks, hammer heads, turtles, parrot fish, jack fish, barracuda) / mabul island (macro diving eg nudi branch, croc fish, lion fish )
3. Kapalai
4. Perhentian island
5. Tioman island
It's unfortunate you are short of time if not you could visit Redang Island and Kapas Island nearby..Kapas might have the best diving spot
redang you can go for a day trip from the perhentian islands, right?
I LIVE IN MALAYSIA AND ME CATHERINE AND PAM GO AS A TRIP
Mango shake cheaper than jalan alor kl
Our small islands do not have incinerators.
What month were you there?
This was in late April
ALSO GO SEN KELING
The haze is from kalimantan and sumatra. Both indonesian areas. Slash and burn farming but as usual they deny it.
How would you compare the beaches with those in Langkawi?
East coast is crystal clear waters. Langkawi is not as crystal clear. But langkawi is more family friendly for young family. Perhentian islands are for diving, hiking, snorkeling.
Like they say "it is a SIN not to dive in perhentian"
You did not see turtles lay eggs at night at long beach? Yes they DO.
Have they asked you already if you're Malasian? You Malay boy. 😊
Haha yes a couple times they assumed I was haha
Litter make world bitter
Guys when you're coming to India again?
We aren’t sure, but we definitely will one day!
Sharing to everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior.
Nicole speak more slowly and clearly you are very hard to understand
Biasa-biasa saja enggak ada yang istimewa
Thanks for watching 😊
