My caucasian friends and their family from France keep coming to Perhentian Islands and Pulau Kapas, every year (since year 2000) without fail, except during Covid pandemic. They love those beaches in Thai, in Bali and Philippines too but juz spent 2 or 3 days there but they'll stay for 2 freakings months at Perhentian Islands and Kapas Island. I asked them why, they said it is the piece of mind and not heavily commercialised. Really underrated, but they like it that way!

Have you been to Redang? The area we went to was fiercely conservationist. You could not see the accommodation from the sea entrance and if anyone damaged the coral you were asked to leave the Island immediately. No pubs or take away or even roads. Just a small hotel which had everything we needed. We could snorkel all around the coast seeing sharks and the most amazing coral. It made the red sea look like the River Mersey. Was it as pretty as some Thai Islands? Maybe/Maybe not, but it was far more peaceful and natural and unspoilt!

I'm really touched how you express yourself with such incredibly stunning footages on these gorgeous Perhentian Islands...that underwater shots especially the one showing sharks is amazing. Great to know Pulau Perhentian is in your top 5 list and you really enjoyed this place 👍👍👏 Well, another amazingly beautiful vlog with absolutely great content. Keep up this great work and thank you very much for sharing, Ken.

The Perhentian Island is really beautiful, like paradise on earth! Your grilled chicken meal looks very delicious and the price is reasonable! If one day I win the lottery jackpot, I will definitely choose to go there for vacation, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏

Ken, there are a lot more beautiful islands in Msia. Pulau Kapas, Pulau Redang in Terengganu, Pulau Rawa in Johor, Pulau Mabul, Pulau Sapi in Sabah...to name a few. Not many tourists/KZreadrs explore our islands & beaches. May be, you can lead the way. 😁

One important thing to note, Malaysian islands are not filled to the brim with tourists. One can really relax and take in the beauty.

We planned a holiday to come back in 2020 however the Movement Control Order started due to Covid-19. Supposed to plan a trip this year however, our friend passed away due to cancer.

The reason they are pristine and full of marine life, we closed the island for a few months during monsoon season. So it gives time for nature to rejuvenate itself.

Ken, around this time of year, there are places in Trengganu where turtles land along the east coast beaches to lay eggs. You can check at the resort or from the locals where the places are. Because the guides will bring you out at midnight to watch live laying of eggs.

Malaysia is underated so tourist can enjoy cheap food and accomdation here.

Bruh why does this place look so good!

Thank you so much for this video. You have definitely convinced me to go.

The small fish swimming with the sharks is the Remora. It has a suction cup on the head that actually attached itself to the shark and they have a symbiotic relationship whereby they get to eat the scraps dropped off by the sharks and also feed on the parasites on the skin and mouth of the shark.

Beautiful islands never expected this in Malaysia. Gorgeous beaches

U are so humble,Ken! 👍👍👍👍👍.... God bless ..

Very nice beach Ken! Not overflowed with tourists😊

Trust me Ken, there are more beautiful Islands out there in Malaysia but Perhentian is still worth it. You can spend a whole week or two exploring the island as it is quite big.

I Love the Perhentians - clearest water in SE Asia - and I actually prefer it to the Maldives - WAY Cheaper!! Another good one although a longer boat ride out is Tioman Island in the south. That is where they filmed the movie South Pacific and some Survivor episodes! . It's a bit of an adventure to get to the other side of the island as you have to go over a steep mountain road in a 4 by 4. Lots of battles here in WW2. November to March you may not be able to access due to monsoon season and heavy swells.

Let's keep the islands underrated. Or else, too crowded. Bear in mind during the rainy monsoon season its not advisable to visit these places. It rains a lot and the sea waves could be possibly dangerous for small boats. Therefore, most resorts and cafes would be closed as well for several months of the year.
