This image was taken during our one week office trip dated June 13, 2009. During my first step at the jetty, i was saying that "This is the most beautiful sea that I've ever seen in Malaysia".
With the clear blue water it had, really it was magnificent and unforgettable trip for all of us.
Located at the north-eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. About 21 km off shores the remote town of Kuala Besut. There are two lovely unspoiled island lie amidst exquisitely clear waters. Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian) and Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) comprise the Perhentian Island, aptly named after henti (stop) as fishermen from mainland Kelantan and Terengganu have, for centuries, stopped over at the island for a rest or to shelter during a major storm. A rocky virgin jungle provides hour of adventures for trekkers who may chance upon flying fox, long-tailed macaques and monitor lizards, while the underneath marine life shows off a splendid garden of coral.
How does we get there? As we are from KL, we started from Hentian Putra KL by bus. We bought a "KL - Kuala Besut" ticket and the journey took about 6 hours. Upon arriving at Kuala Besut, at 6.45am we took a speed boat and off to Perhentian Island and arrive at about 1/2hour later.
Then, we rent a few chalet for our group and enjoying our time over there for 4 days, 3 nights.
The best part is we went for snorkeling and able to catch a few very cute clown fish and watched jaws, turtle, coral and the magnificent underworld water. What a great time!
So, for u guys who planning to have a rest at a wonderful place and runaway from problems and traffic jams, this place is the best. Have a nice day.
Above picture shows the mother and two cute little kids of clown fish that we able to caught. A few minutes after that, we released it because we don't want Nemo families in the sea to get burden in "Finding Nemo" again. ;)
