Perhentian EEL

True eels (Anguilliformes; pronounced /æŋɡwɪləfɒrmiːz/) are an order of fish, which consists of four suborders, 19 families, 110 genera and approximately 600 species. Most eels are predators. The term "eel" is also used for some other similarly shaped fish, such as electric eels and spiny eels, but these are not members of the Anguilliformes order.

Perhentian Island

"Being far away from the mainland, Pulau Perhentian is rich in coral and marine life which includes stingrays, nudibranchs, black corals, moray eels, turtles and colourful fishes."

The Pulau Perhentian (Perhentian Island) group of islands are the northernmost islands off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. There are two main islands -- Pulau Perhentian Besar (Perhentian Besar Island) and Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Perhentian Kecil Island) -- plus several large rocky outcrops to the northeast namely Pulau Tokong Kemudi Barat (Tokong Kemudi Barat Island), Pulau Dara Kecil (Dara Kecil Island), Pulau Tokong Kemudi (Tokong Kemudi Island), Pulau Rawa (Rawa Island), Pulau Burung (Burong Island) and Pulau Serenggeh (Serenggeh Island).

Typical of most tropical islands, the two main islands are heavily forested and ringed with white sandy beaches. Being far away from the mainland, Pulau Perhentian, which literally means 'Stopover Island', is rich in coral and marine life which includes stingrays, nudibranchs, black corals, moray eels and colourful fishes. Turtles come up to lay eggs between April and September.

The main village is situated on the southeast coast of Pulau Perhentian Kecil and the locals are a friendly and hospitable lot. Accommodation is mainly aimed at budget travellers and is available on both the main islands as well as some of the smaller islands. New resorts with better facilities are currently being constructed.
Perhentian is one of the best diving spots in Malaysia, and is also excellent for snorkelling and jungle trekking. Its laid-back atmosphere makes it the perfect getaway.

Hawksbill Turtles

Turtle Beach is where hawksbill turtles come up to nest. The conservatory located there then hatched the eggs and releases the hatchlings after a few days in the hopes that some will survive to replenish the dwindling turtle population.

The hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is a critically endangered sea turtle belonging to the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in its genus. The species has a worldwide distribution, with Atlantic and Pacific subspecies. Eretmochelys imbricata imbricata is the Atlantic subspecies, while Eretmochelys imbricata bissa is found in the Indo-Pacific region

I am at Pulau Perhentian Kecil

Facebook friends are shocked that I am at Pulau Perhentian because they expect the region to be closed because it is monsoon period.

I was of similar feeling and I was surprised when it was proposed that the DAP hqrs break be held at Pulau Perhentian as I expected the area to be unhabitable because of monster monsoon season at this period.
But not to be a wet blanket I went along, despite grave reservations.
I was very surprised that there was no storm whatsoever. The sea was so calm and clear that it was like sheet of glass.
I am told that until the last few years, Pulau Perhentian was virtually a closed area because of public perceptions that monsoon in the East Coast begins in October.
But surprise of suprises, it is not so. According to the Bubu Long Beach Resort (Pulau Perhentian Kechil) operations manager, Zaidon Ismail, the climate calendar has changed. Maybe it is because of the global climate change.
The Bubu Long Beach Resort live-wire, Along Bubu, tells me that the climate is so changed that the authorities concerned is confident of organising a Perhentian Island Challenge involving kayaking, jungle tracking and sea sports challenges and this will be held on 17 to 19 October.
This has been a hairs-down experience. I went snorkelling. I also went up to the wind mill. Many ask why I have choosen Pulau Perhentian Kecil and not Perhentian Besar or Pulau Redang.
It was not a conscious choice but I did not regret the final destination. It was unforgettable experience with great friends Zaidon and Along Bubu.

Hidden UnderWater Paradise

Coral reefs are aragonite structures produced by living organisms, found in marine waters containing few nutrients. In most reefs, the predominant organisms are stony corals, colonial cnidarians that secrete an exoskeleton of calcium carbonate. The accumulation of skeletal material, broken and piled up by wave action and bioeroders, produces a calcareous formation that supports the living corals and a great variety of other animal and plant life.

“Perfect Honeymoon!” Bubu Long Beach Resort

5 of 5 stars

Stockholm

Jul 6, 2009 | Trip type: Couples



We recently spent ten days at the Bubu long beach resort. It was the final days of our one month long honeymoon in Asia, and it was the perfect ending!



The resort is ideally located directly on the beautiful beach. All rooms have balconies or terraces facing the sea, providing a stunning view of the beach and surrounding islands (especially from the 3rd floor).



Rooms are clean and cozy, not that big but still comfortable enough. Bathrooms are newly renovated and fresh, and the dayly cleaning is satisfactory. The only complaints we had about the room is that it was missing a refrigirator to store cold drinks.



Resort has two restaurants, one for package buffet guest and one alacarte restuarant. We really like to recomend eating in the alacarte restaurant. The first nights we explored other options on the beach, but we soon discovered that it was worth to pay a little extra to dine at Bubu. The menu is a mix of Thai and Western dishes, all excellent tasting and served with style. We were impressed with every meal! Besides from the excellent food, this is also one of the few restaurants on the beach wich has beer and wine on the menu.



All staff at the resort are very friendly and helpful. If you are going to Perhentian Kecil, we can definitely recomend Bubu. It is not a five star resort, but it is still worth the extra money compared to neighbouring chalets!

Eagle

Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and bill. Even the smallest eagles, like the Booted Eagle (which is comparable in size to a Common Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from the vultures.

Perhentian Island

Good Hotel, Best option in Long Beach

ag00dtraveller (Hong Kong)

After going through many reviews of hotels in both islands, Besar and Kecil, I decided to stay at Bubu Long Beach resort. I was going to Perhentians with my mom and we wanted a safe choice.

My options were Tuna Bay, Perhentian Island Resort and Bubu. I was a bit confused reading some reviews so I’ll try to put some light J

- Bubu is the best hotel in Long Beach. Rooms are clean, not big but fair enough, you have your king bed, closet, table, chair, clean attached bathroom with hot water and, in my case, a terrace with nice views of the beach. Although rooms don’t have safety box, one of the drawers has a locker and you can keep there your personal belongings and big camera equipment. Wireless is available for free.

- The hotel is right on the beach, located in one of the corners of Long Beach. Breakfast was included on the price, with Malaysian and Western options. I found breakfast pretty good.

- I would recommend not taking a full package as lunch and dinner were provided in a different area than the restaurant, with typical buffet food such as pasta and beef. The restaurant had a la carte menu. However, we never had dinner or lunch at the hotel as we found it extremely expensive compared to other nice restaurants on the beach which had fish bbq, Malayan food, etc.

- If you want to take the snorkeling day trip, try to book somewhere else. Hotel trip was 80 RM, from 11 am to 1 pm, and included just 3 places. However, we booked a day trip at the Moonlight cafe, right beside Bubu and paid 40 RM, for a full day trip which took us to many places, including a marvelous beach on the other island.

- In terms of beach quality, Long Beach is very nice but I would say that Perhentian Island Resort (on the other island) had the greatest beach. Tuna Bay hotel looked really nice but honestly I think the beach was so so, with a couple of horrible buildings right beside. So, if you base your options according to the beach, I would suggest Perhentian Island Resort.

- In terms of room quality, Bubu’s was nice. Don’t expect luxury but the room was nice, very clean, the hotel was very quiet and we really enjoyed our stay. I would say that the hotel is a bit overpriced but management was very nice, everything was in order, and we had no complaints. Anyway, I think that for the price, a couple of things could be improved such as providing toothbrush for example. Anyway, don't expect Thai luxury standards!

- We booked transport with the hotel. A van was waiting for us at Kota Bahru airport. Expect one hour ride to Kuala Besut and then about 30 minutes speed boat. Bear in mind the last boat from the hotel to Kuala Besut departs at 4 pm! Our speedboat seemed to be in much better condition than other water taxis.

Hope this information is useful. I attach a couple of pictures.

Enjoy! Perhentians are just beautiful!
