Info and tips about Perhentian Island

Well before we talk about some tips that would be useful when you are on Perhentian Island, I would like to share some basic info about Tuna Bay Island Resort. Tuna Bay Island Resort is located in the south west side of Perhentian Besar (Big Island), an untouched part of the island surrounded by tropical jungle, on a broad expanse of powdery white beach. The resort commands a breath-taking view of Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Island) and the South China Sea right at your doorsteps. Even at low tide, the view from our resort is still breath taking! The ambiance here is one of peace and relaxation ideally geared towards holiday makers.

Tip! If you are sensitive to noise bring a couple of earplugs. The roar of the engines can be quite loud & remember to take your seasickness pills!

Tip! Bring you own snorkel gear to make sure that you get good and comfortable equipment. Having a mask that fits is important . And spitting into the google works better than anti-fogging spray!

Tip! If you are going to a place like this to snorkel, bring along a underwater camera. The disposable ones are not very good (we found that out at the Maldives. If I were to buy now I would buy a Olympus mju 720SW which is supposedly waterproof down to 3 meters - still considering buying it.

Tip! Snorkeling in the tropics means that you are faced with a strong sun. Remember to put on a good sun screen and when you snorkel it is a good idea to have a surfer vest or light coloured t-shirt and some protection for your head as well. We also snorkeled from the boat at the rocks that you see on the left hand side when you stand on the beach at Perhentian Island Resort. The many colours of the coral amazed me…red, blue, green, purple etc. Snorkeling is hard work …after snorkeling at three different spots from the boat we were ready for a break - a bit of relaxation on the beach.

Tip! As there is not much to do I would recommend that you bring along some board games/cards, snacks as there is not that much on sale and mosquito spray to avoid getting eaten alive.
