Top things to do in Perhentian Kecil

 

Perhentian Islands have long been on our list ever since we came across it while searching for some good beach destinations. The crystalline water, the white sandy beaches and the towering greenery were enticing enough to make us add it to the top of our wishlist. Two years later, on our 6th wedding anniversary, we could not have selected a better place to visit amongst the Malaysia tourist attractions. 

Perhentian Islands consist of 2 islands – the small one is called Perhentian Kecil and the bigger one is Perhentian Besar. Both islands are beautiful and you can never go wrong with your choice irrespective of whichever island you choose for your stay. We stayed at Perhentian Kecil and absolutely loved it.



Top things to do

Perhentian Kecil is the kind of place where you can spend days simply relaxing at the beach or enjoy your time swimming in the crystal clear water of the sea. But if you are more than just a relaxing person, then here is a list of top things to do in Perhentian Kecil.

Beach Hopping

There are many beautiful beaches in Perhentian Kecil each having its own unique charm. Where Long Beach and Coral Bay are the main beaches ideal for stay, there are other small ones that can be visited by water taxi. This includes places like Mira Beach [aka Keranji Beach] which is a tiny beach with just one resort, yet a very nice place to relax by the sea. Then comes Turtle beach and Romantic beach which are considered rivals when it comes to the prettiest beach on the island. And this is not all. You can also visit the beaches of Perhentian Besar.

Snorkelling trips

The Perhentian Islands are famous for their beautiful underwater world teeming with marine life. From witnessing rich coral reefs to swimming around turtles and sharks, snorkelling in Perhentian Island could be absolutely overwhelming. There are different snorkelling spots around the islands which provide different experiences. So taking more than one snorkelling trip is always recommended. 

You will find a lot of snorkelling/diving tour operators in the island providing snorkelling trips to different locations or a few points together in one trip. Decide as per your choice and be mesmerised by the world underneath the blue water. Read More……

Paradise Beach and Island, Pondicherry – Paradise in True Sense!

Image
It was around 1:15 in the afternoon when our boat reached Paradise Beach. But I was no hungrier or felt the tropical heat enamoured with the beautiful scene that laid in front of me.  Morning glories swayed in the salty ocean breeze. Vintage looking lamp posts stood aesthetically by the enchantingly bluish backwaters. Two horses were grazing at a green patch nearby creating a postcard-like scene.  The crashing of the waves and the squawking of the seagulls came flowing with the wind. A thought just crossed my mind – if this is not paradise, then what is? About Paradise Beach and Island Paradise beach is probably the cleanest and the prettiest beach in all of Pondicherry. This stunning white sand beach is isolated from the main town by the backwaters and provides unparalleled views and a very tranquil surrounding. At one side, there is the endless blue sea merging with the sky at the horizon and then the serene backwaters rippled in the sea breeze at the other. Even the boat ride to t
