Why You MUST VISIT The Perhentian Islands (Part 2 - MALAYSIA REOPEN)

[@WanderingMunchers]

If you're coming back to Perhentian again in the future, do check out Bukit Keluang (Keluang hill) on the mainland. About 10 minutes drive south of Kuala Besut jetty. It's a more arduous hike than the windmill hill. Also there's a forlorn/forgotten viewpoint on the southern end of long beach, the banana plantation but do bring a machete with you. Also before mimpi Perhentian hotel was erected, there was the legendary moonlight chalet (exact spot where mimpi is now) where so many backpackers from all over the world have stayed in. Moonlight chalet was one of the main reasons why Perhentian kecil island became known to what it is today.

In sabah, there is an island called bohey dulang. A long hike up but worth it.

Malaysia is under-rated and has many natural and pristine islands and beaches.. 👍🏖️🐬🐠🇲🇾

[@southeastsomewhere]

Nice man! I will have to go visit our neighbors sometime! 😍

[@seelautravel]

You must if you love the marine life especially!

[@NASHIHELZUHRI]

amazing video, greetings from Indonesia👍👍👍

[@seelautravel]

Thank you! I miss Indonesia 🙏🏽😊

[@juliaangelicaa5395]

Malaysian beaches are not well known in the western world. We usually think of Thailand and the Philippines when it comes to pristine beaches in Asia. Thanks for sharing, Chris ☺️. Now, another one to add to my bucket list.

[@seelautravel]

Def go checkout Malaysia :)

[@Reformist101]

have you been to other side of the island? coral bay,rainforest beach and keranji beach? And the big island which also has several nice beaches.

[@sharilsamad9727]

You are relatable, this is why you are believable! Old? Never!

[@seelautravel]

Haha, thank you! I'm def old :P

If you love Perhentian, than you should definitely go to the Semporna Islands. Crystal clear waters with abundant marine life. Also the chance to see first hand the Sea Gypsies aka Bajau Laut, who lead a normadic life in seas of Sabah, Brunei and Indonesian islands.

[@seelautravel]

I will remember this! Thank you!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

You are right christopher, no jet skies to preserve marine life eg fish, turtles.because we have tons.

The windmill project failed as there wasn't any strong winds to turn it. The gov wasted 12million ringgit (down the drain). So the whole place was abandoned. Including the staircase to the view points.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

The largest island is redang. Another winner.

[@seelautravel]

Need to check that out next time!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

@@seelautravel long ago a hong kong movie was shot there called summer holiday. Starring sammy cheng. And taiwan actor richie ren and malaysian actor ah niu.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Most if not all our islands have jetties. It avoid boats anchoring on the beach like in thailand. I mean beach is for humans, not for boats.

[@seelautravel]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

I hope people do not litter the view points. Keep nature as it is.

[@seelautravel]

I agree!
