As I've promised this entry will be about Perhentian Island. It is in Besut and I can go there anytime I want. Sadly though... I've never been to any Island in my whole life and I wish one day I can spend a relaxing holiday on a nice island. Honeymoon maybe? Teehee. So I've ready a few things on the internet about Perhentian Island and I'll include a few links down below for your own reference.
Okay let's start our journey.
Basically there are two islands and that is Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) and Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian). Well through the names you can already imagine the cost. The cost of staying at Perhentian Besar is of course more than in Perhentian Kecil. Still, both are nice tourism spots.
Get there!
You have to go to Kuala Besut jetty, and take a speedboat which leads to Perhentian Island. It takes less than an hour to get there and the fee is around RM 70. Or you can just take the ferry. Besides Kuala Besut, you can also reach the island from Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu or Jerteh. But all these locations are in the same coast which is the East Coast of Malaysia.
Weather!
You should do a little research on the weather because as I have said on my previous post about the beaches and rivers, the eastern monsoon can totally effect the business on the island. The season can be rough and choppy (Wikitravel). Some businesses will not operate and there would be limited food choices on the island therefore causing foods to be over-priced.

One day, InsyaAllah. One day I'll be there for sure. Enjoy your trip. Live life :)
