al1004 Says: Even if you dive in Perhentian Islands, plan 1 day for the snorkeling tour. You won't see the same as with scuba diving. There are plenty of boats offering some snorkeling tours and they all do pretty much the same. I always did the one with Jeffrey, starting from Coral Bay,...
al1004 Says: Located in the middle of a marine park, Perhentian Islands offers great dive sites The minimum PADI level will be enough for most of the dive sites in Perhentian. There are plenty of sites but the most popular (and probably the most interesting) ones are:* Temple of the sea*...
Pass your PADI Open Water Diver
al1004 Says: If you stay more than 3 days on the islands and if you are interested: Pass your PADI. The first level gives you the ability to dive down to 18 meters under water. There are plenty of dive shops on the beach. The price is definitely cheap compare to other places in the...
Watch the Sunset from Coral Bay
al1004 Says: Located on the west side of the island, Coral Bay is the only place in Perhentian Islands from where you can watch the sunset. Make sure to be there before 7pm and be on time as the sunset does not wait... And as we are close to the Equator, the sunset does not last very...

Mama's Kitchen or Barracuda: Barbecue on the Beach
al1004 Says: There are 2 places on Coral Bay where you can have barbecue for diner and they both serve exactly the same at the same price. For RM 20, you get* a barbecued fish (king fish, barracuda, shark, tuna, chicken fish, etc.) freshly fished the same day, or king prawns, or squids,...

beach bars: bar.. bar.. bar.. & bar..
shiks84 Says: not much to do.. there's a lot of bars to choose from.. the nicest i would say is the 'bubu long beach bar' (can't remember what's its name).. apart from that, you could have bonfire with your friends.. or you could watch fire play show.. but, the best is to just lay down on...

be aware of jellyfish during snorkerling
shiks84 Says: just for your precaution, be aware of the jellyfish during your snorkeling period. there's not much, thats why its hard for you to see one. apart from that, take your sandals with you when you go snorkel cuz, you might need it when you stop for lunch at the fishermans...
al1004 Says: There is no guaranty that the visibility is very good before mid-March and after mid-September because of the monsoon. If you plan to go to the Perhentian islands especially for diving, make sure you avoid this period as you may be disappointed even though there is a lot to...
al1004 Says: Due to the monsoon, the island is "opened" from end of February to end of October. The rest of the year, the fast boat cannot access the island and even the slow boat is not regular... There is no precise "opening" date as the people running all the business live in the...
