About Activities
Watch sunset
The Perhentian Islands are known for their pretty sunsets and no more so than at Coral Bay on Perhentian Kecil.
There are a number of secluded beach spots here as well as private beach areas that back on to resorts like D’Lagoon and this is the place to come if you want to watch the fiery natural light show without the crowds.
Hopping trip
Many of the local tours offer a leisurely schedule (that includes snorkeling trips) and will bring you to some of the best spots on the islands which aren't easy to get to on your own. In fact, there are even tour packages that will bring you to further, neighbouring islands such as Pulau Lang Tengah and Pulau Redang.
Windmill view point
This is a must-do in your list. The view from the Perhentian Kecil windmill is stunning. It will take you about 30 minutes walk/hike to reach the top. To get started, find the entrance called Nyor 5 Glamping at the long beach. Note: The best time to hike is between 11:00-1300 so you’ll have a clear view and best daylight.
Relax at the beaches
Whether you'd like to just relax and sunbathe or fill your itinerary with beach and water activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, or hopping on a banana boat, the beaches at Pulau Perhentian offer fun and relaxation for all types of travellers.
