Boats link Perhentian Kecil with Perhentian Besar, and the island's beaches at Long Beach, Coral Bay and Teluk Pauh sit within easy reach, while Kuala Besar is the mainland departure point. Perhentian Mama's therefore draws both day visitors and those staying on the smaller island. The setting on Pulau Perhentian Kecil keeps it close to the main accommodation strips.
Malaysian cooking blends Malay, Chinese and Indian traditions, so dishes such as nasi lemak, laksa and roti canai are worth trying during a stay. Malay is the national language, though English, Mandarin, Tamil and Chinese dialects are widely spoken across the islands.
Expect an equatorial climate with high humidity and rain at any time of year, so a light rain jacket helps. Malaysia spans Peninsular Malaysia and northern Borneo, with islands off both coasts.
