There are few places on earth as pristine as this, a place where bushwalks through lush ancient jungles lead to magnificent clear ocean views. Perhentian Kecil waters are rich in sea life, while rare and unique bird roost and potter everywhere, unfazed by the occasional human who passes by. My family and I went for a short trip for 3 Days and 2 nights to Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu.
“Living on the island is incredible.“ the first thoughts uttered from my mouth. I personally thought as travelling here’s in Perhentian Kecil is a lot more trust, a lot more freedom. It’s really nice to lead a much simpler, easier life.
From Kuala Terengganu, my family and I take a taxi to the fishing port of Kuala Besut. Then, board the boat at the Fisheries Complex for Pulau Perhentian. The boat rides take over an hour to reach the island.Beneath its water is the world coastline coral reef haven, formed by a fortuitous sweep of current that bring warm waters and coral larvae. It’s an underwater wonderland of vibrant coral – blues, purples, yellows, brilliant whites- and reef fish in dazzling.
As the first timer of snorkelling, I was amazed by the underneath beauty of the sea. I expereienced snorkelling at the five attraction spots such as fish point, turtle point, shark point, stunning lighthouse and romantic beach, a quick boat trip from shore, reveals all this and more; big gigantic turtles, variety range of fish, black sea cucumber. Reef sharks are also often seen unaggressive .My experienced through snorkelling in Perhentian is similarly rewarding, but no boat is needed to snorkel-cliff-fringed on the island despite the needs of snorkel, diving fin and snorkel mask. A reef just off the sand shows plenty of sea life including occasional turtles, although Pulau Redang is usually rated best for turtles. Perhentian is more renowned for the countless fish that converge on eagle, hoping to be hand-fed pellets sold at the beach side.
I own an incredibly adventurous trip on the island back then. We get on boat to Perhentian Kecil’s jetty and show up and be there till the boat came back. We tend to explore everything on the island . But the sort of holiday we had was the sort of holiday people have now. Very little different – I don’t come here for new attractions. My family and I went for fishing, see the reef, climb a hill for the windmill view, come back and eat way too much for dinner.
Windmill day-long hike and staircase to the Blue Lagoon is a visitor highlight. Climbing to the summit involves skirting on a narrow path beside sharp drop to the way sea below, and sometime using fixed ropes to haul yourself up rock faces. And we does it with sports shoes on, thanks to a hardy free-range island childhood. I fully admitted that it’s a special place which provides tranquillity and serenity alongside with the view.
“I just fall in love with the island,” I explains simply. “It’s a good spot to live. It’s pretty laidback. Then another kind of return will become possible.
We stayed for 3 days and 1 night in Perhentian Island Resort on the island as it provides chalets, dormitories and campsite for its guests. Those wishing to stay will find the accommodation to be basic yet comfortable.
Despite of the extravagance and marvellous of the island, I witnessed the unprecedented pickpockets incident that happened at Long beach. This aroused abrupt awareness, concerned and sympathy within myself towards the victims. The victims lost their personal belongings and turned the joy into grievance and sadness. They tried to look around and seek help for three consecutive days but the staff on long beach became very unfriendly and harsh towards them. Most of them lost their smartphones, cameras, passports and even money. Thus, we should always be careful with our valuables as to avoid for being stolen. You should always be ready towards the warning signals you’re about to be pickpocketed. There are some tips to identify that a pickpocket is about to stole your personal stuff and how to avoid them.
Firstly, never display you wealth. This is because pickpockets like to target wealthy people.Next, do not put your wallet in your back pocket. If you’re going to keep valuables in your pocket, put them in the front. Besides, avoid hanging your belongings on chair. Lastly, the mindset that it can’t happen to you would be the one that harms yourself the most. This is because, most pickpockets are experts and the greatest advantage pickpockets have it the most people think it can’t happen to them. Therefore, this eye-witnessed of pickpocket is very scary however it kept myself more aware and cautious during travelling.
