Within Terengganu Marine Park lies the small Perhentian Islands archipelago.
This is a fine spot for lovers of diving, snorkelling or scuba. Avoid planning a visit between November and March, when the islands become inaccessible due to weather conditions.
The best time for diving is between April and October, with the clearest visibility during the summer months.
These idyllic beaches, lapped by turquoise waters, offer breathtaking underwater scenery where you'll encounter numerous harmless blacktip reef sharks as well as giant green turtles — unshy enough to approach closely — and a multitude of colourful tropical fish, all visible simply while snorkelling.
