The two main islands, Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil, offer great options for accommodation and are a paradise for swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, and jungle trekking enthusiasts. The islands are home to a protected marine park, which means that fishing, collecting coral, and littering are strictly prohibited.
