All manner of aquatic life is visible both near and far from the beach such as turtles, sharks, coral and thousands of tropical fish. The interior is covered by jungle with a wide variety of species. You can watch monitor lizards, monkeys, geckos, flying squirrels, butterflies and many other types - sometimes right in front of your chalet. There are no roads and not many paths, so the islands are mainly peaceful and untouched - so far.

Tourism is relatively new to these islands, in fact, the past five years have seen rapid increases in tourism numbers and there are now many new rooms and services to accommodate guests. Perhentian is fast developing, possibly too fast.But there is still not enough accommodation on public holidays, long weekends and in the main season June to September. Therefore you should book your room as soon as possible.

Note:
If you are planning to go to Perhentian Island during peak season (June-Sept) or public holiday / school holiday, you are advise to book atlest 3-6 months in advance due to limited of accommodation on the both island.
