Perhentian Snorkelling Day Trip

Overview

A full day out to the Perhentian Islands Marine Park with a snorkel guide in the water with you. Non-swimmers are welcome: everyone wears a life jacket and the guide stays close.

We visit four spots chosen on the day for the best visibility — usually Turtle Point, Shark Point (harmless blacktip reef sharks), Coral Garden and Teluk Pauh — with lunch at a beach restaurant on Perhentian Kecil.
