MALAYSIA, PULAU PERHENTIAN BESAR, was it WORTH IT?

Hello and welcome back! Jay and I went JUNGLE TREKKING and explored the some BEAUTIFUL BEACHES in the PERHENTIAN islands, was it WORTH IT? It wasn't something that was really on our list to do while here in Malaysia, but we soon realized from our wattstraveling subscribers that it was a place we MUST visit! Even with the monsoon season on the horizon we decided to take the chance and explore, and I'm so happy we did. Our jungle trek was fun, hot and sweaty but WORTH the hike through the jungle to the beautiful beaches that await on the other end! I hope you enjoy our adventure!

Not many consider Malaysia as a budget destination. However, you and Jay have proven them wrong. I've been to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and for me, Malaysia can be considered to have the lowest cost of living in the Southeast Asian region. In fact, Malaysia is the top 5 most visited country in Asia and world's top 15.

Greetings from Kanata, Ontario, Canada!

Gosh! I missed those islands! I used to scuba dive in Palau Perhentian and Pulau Redang.

Watch out for leeches when trekking. It got me good at Perhentian, luckily I completed my last dive, because of the bleeding individuals are not allow to dive because of some bleeding, may attract sharks!

Actually the monsoon havent really started yet..when it starts the islands will be off limit as it rains non stop for days and rough seas. Normally it started mid November until end of January

Next time, stay at Perhentian Kecil....there you can hike to the windmill from Long Beach. The view from there is absolutely stunning!

Perhentian island is crown jewel of Malaysia..thank for sharing

Please visit Teluk Cempedak beach in Kuantan, Pahang. I went there recently & stayed at Hyatt Kuantan. The beach is also beautiful.

I went to Pulau Perinthian in 1995, when there was nothing except a few A-frame huts to stay in. It still looks fantastic, but back then it felt way more like pioneering.

I have been to Perhentian's twice
This video makes me want come back! Anyway thank you for visiting my country ☺️😍

Monsoon starting real soon, every November thru January. North Easterly wind. The sea gonna be rough. High waves. Stay safe.

2 thumbs up for getting to and staying in perhentian island. But you two didn't do snorkeling at all? Personally I prefer perhentian kecil than perhentian besar, because I feel perhentian besar has been a little bit more commercialised, but this was pre covid, haven't been to either island for some time now. I loved snorkeling, either foc (just rent the simple gears if you don't bring your own) in the nearby waters just off the beach, or in deep waters where you pay for the boat ride and gears for an island-hopping excursion.
Anyway, you two are going to the city of Ipoh next? Stay safe and have loads of fun!

[acerazak]

Oh you really went to island aka pulau, why you said did not last comment? 😅..Anyway nice to see you were able to enjoy the beautiful Pulau Perhentian although it is monsoon season ☔

[aa.r]

The monsoon season makes the beaches look shortened due to the rising sea 🌊

[keangwooichoo]

I heard food is not bad there even though it is far from the mainland.

[keangwooichoo]

Is that perhentian besar or kecil? There are 2 islands

[khairulidris]

To honest I prefer Redang and Kapas Island than Perhentian.
