Welcome to State of Terengganu!

Many of you just know about Redang Islands. Terengganu sill have a lots of islands for you to travel! Not only Redang Island, Perhentian Islands is one of the place that you must go.

The Perhentian Islands are a small group of beautiful, coral-fringed islands off the coast of northeastern Malaysia in the state of Terengganu, not far from the Thai border.The two main islands are Perhentian Besar ("Big Perhentian") and Perhentian Kecil ("Small Perhentian").

Family vacations and holidays are a great way to spend more time with each other whilst having a really enjoyable time. It is a way to get everyone closer and bond stronger by spending quality time together. Nothing creates bonds and deepens relationships like an outdoor adventure together. At Perhentian Islands, you will enjoy a fun and relaxing family vacation.

Perhentian Island offer activities such as diving, snorkelling and kayaking which are not only fun and educational but a great way to spend time together. The beautiful coral reefs and the variety of sea life is a hands-on discovery experience for kids and adults especially for those interested in fish, corals, sea creatures, and adventure.

For younger children and teens, we suggest the kiddie pool as well as light activities such as building sandcastles, beach soccer, volleyball or even jungle trekking. The main attractions are of course the fabulous sea and weather. Enjoy having picnics overlooking the beautiful sea.

The sea all around Perhentian Island is a deep blue colour which invokes a sense of peace and tranquillity.

Due to the eastern monsoon, the season in the Perhentians (and all other east coast islands) is effectively limited to the period between the beginning of March until late October. Outside this period the seas can be very rough and choppy, skies overcast, and with currents that make swimming dangerous and most (though not all) accommodation options are closed.
