Journey to Perhentian Island P2
Just after finishing our lunch we will begin our journey to my cousin sis resort. Before boarding the boat we need to pay a small amount of money for entering the island. Perhentian Island is a marine park and the money they collect will help to maintain the marine park and besides that we also need to register our name and the duration of our stay at the jetty entrance. This is to monitor the crowd entering the marine park so that the marine park will not be overcrowded and hence destroying the coral around the marine park. The picture above you see is the scenery on the way heading to my cousin sis resort. Perhentian Island is not an island, it is combination of different island but the biggest island is called Perhentian. My cousin sis resort is situated in the Perhentian besar.
Once we board the boat we need to do a boat transit at an island called Kampung. That kampung is a small town with basic amenities such as water supply, shop, school, electricity and clinic. We need to do a boat transit there because there is only just me and my cousin bro were going to the my cousin sis resort. We need wait at the kampung jetty for my cousin resort boat to come pick us up to go to her resort. Actually if there a large number of people are going to the same resort the resort will provide a boat to pick you all up at the Kuala Besut jetty and head directly to the resort. Once you arrived at Kampung you will be greeted by a board saying "Welcome to Perhentian Island" just like the picture above. Besides that the sea water there is so clear until you can see a group of anchovies (ikan bilis) swimming around the jetty.
