Perhentian Island Tour - Bubu Long Beach

Author: Ms Pricilla
I went to one of the Perhentian Kecil islands ~ Bubu Long Beach, two years back. We purchased the ground arrangement package with this travel agency (inclusive of accomodation, food, snorkeling trips, airport-jetty-airport transfer)

I was very excited as this is my first snorkeling trip. At the same time, i was quite anxious too because i don't know how to swim! My friend's advise is 'just put on the life jacket and paddle your way through'

we took the AirAsia flight to Kota Bahru airport and from there we went to jetty by coach. To my amazement, the speed boat is well equipped with live jacket and the live jackets all are in good condition. It took around 30 to 45 minutes from Jetty to island. When the boat is approaching the island, we can see the sand and some fishes at the bottom of the sea....the water is so CLEAR!

1st day, I paddled my way out to the beautiful sea together with my friends (definitely with the live jacket on), snorkeling around the house reef. There are so many different types of fish and they are very colorful. I also saw very huge sea cucumber and corals.

2nd day activity is to watch sea turtle and shark. Yes, Sharks. So i decided to rent a pair of flippers as i know that i would not able to catch up with my friends and I dont want to miss the fun. We traveled out to the sea to another region of the Perhentian Kecils, along the way we can see sea turtle come up to the surface of the sea and submerge back into the sea. And we were so lucky that not only we managed to see the baby shark but also a big one. I was so excited ....it is really a great experience for a 1st timer like me =)

the accommodation and the food is good. At night, there is some 'fire show' too. Everything has been arranged by the travel agency and i had a very smooth and hassle-free holiday

I really enjoyed the trip and thinking to go back there again. Thanks.
