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*...

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...
