The upcoming June 12th, 2009 was the best date my hubby choose to take me to a trip after his eldest brother wedding reception which will take place on May 30th, 2009. I guess my hubby just want to get away and have fun and relax session.
This trip is being planned out by my hubby friends which will be my very first experience going a holiday with outsiders...I mean its no longer privacy yet I hope it will be more joyful since there are more than just US.....
So for this post, I will work on the lookout for the island because I have never been there...Don't be surprise that even though I have been travelling various part of the world not even once I got my feet for a holiday on an island except Penang....which we really don't consider it an island...
Let me begin by browsing the location on the map and look what we have there....
It comprises of two islands; Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil. Both islands are surrounded by beautiful palm-fringed powdery white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise-blue sea.
The two Perhentian Islands are rated as some of the most beautiful islands in the world; a virtual paradise for snorkeling and diving in crystal-clear water or just for lazing on one of the white sandy beaches waiting for the coconuts to drop …
Upon the accommodation provided shows there are a lot of chalets yet I am not sure to which that have been pick for our trip...Probably of this below....

p.s ~ I don't really mind where the chalet as long it is with my hubby....just consider it as part of our long last and forever honeymoon mood....
Let move the the place of interest that this island can offer...
The beaches are more suited to swimmers and snorkelers rather than divers because they lead to shallow water over sand with lots of rays, cuttlefish and parrot fish. For divers, the group of small rocky islets to the Northwest of Pulau Perhentian Kecil is a location not to be missed. The tiny islets have irregular patches of stunted soft tree corals in many colours and deeper down, one can explore the wonders of king-size barrel sponges with Alabaster Sea Cucumbers. Common to the area are harp and black corals, while large hard corals are absent. There are large off-white soft tree corals growing on an experimental artificial reef laid down for the Department of Fisheries to the west of Pulau Perhentian Kecil. The rate of growth is unusual for this region. |
Tokong Laut lies out in the sea in the northwest of the Perhentian Islands. It is a rocky pinnacle covered with soft and hard corals. You can find dozens of small bamboo sharks lying under the corals, sleeping. Sometimes there are several lying one on top of the other, moving there tails with the water current. Look under the rocks around 20m. If you don't find bamboo sharks it will be a moray eel! This time there were also a lot of mackerels and jackfish. Terumbu Tiga lies on the east of Perhentian Besar Island. Its a jumble of large rocks with many swim through. Visibility isn't so  good and there is often a slight film of particles on the rocks. Nudibranchs seem to love it, specially one that is called "blue dragon", a beautiful bluish, violet slug. Terumbu Tiga was one of our first dives in that area. Great! |
Well I guess the impression to spend the vacation looks interesting...For those viewer who has been the Perhantian Island may share some expirience and guideline to mark my vacation an unforgetable one....
