Ways to go to Pulau Perhentian
Perhentian Islands are situated in the state of Terengganu. Just 30 minutes away from Kuala Besut by boat. The Island is called 'Stopping Point' in Malay to convey the original purpose of the Island which was as a stopping point for Bangkok and Malaysia traders before it became one of the hot Tourist destination in Malaysia.
To Besut by flight
The closest airport to Besut is Sultan Ismail Petra airport in Kota Bharu Kelantan which situated only 1 hour 5 minutes drive away from Besut than Sultan Mahmad Airport in Kuala Terengganu that is about 1 hour 31 minutes drive from Besut. The 1 hour low cost flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) to Kota Bharu (KBR) is only RM57 provided that the ticket is purchased in advance. Last minute flight will cost more up to RM 400. So better plan your vacation wisely peeps. Click here to compare available flight ticket prices at Skyscanner.net
To Besut by car
Another way to reach Besut is by driving which could be tiring and bothersome as the drive from Kuala Lumpur to Besut could take about 10 hours the most. Sufficient fuel should be planned ahead as no Petrol Pump or Petrol Station is available in Grik (mountainous area). Another option would be through Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT). I would suggest driving for people who enjoys it and could bear the long hours journey. Not to worry, the closest parking lots available before boarding the boat to Perhentian Island is at Kuala Besut Jetty.
Please do ask question if you need any.
