Snorkeling

Diving isn't the only way to enjoy Perhentian's spectacular reef system!  Unique to Perhentian, the majority of the dive sites begin at 6m and no deeper than 12m, thus making it easy for snorkelers to enjoy the natural splendors of the underwater world.
 
While snorkeling, you'll marvel at the clear blue shimmering waters, colorful marine life and corals under a sparkling sun. The clear warm waters create extra buoyancy for swimmers which allows anyone to feel comfortable while exploring the reefs with a mask and snorkel.  

With many fringing reefs encompassing both islands, snorkeling is excellent here! You will be rewarded with sightings of black tip sharks, green and hawksbill turtles, bumphead parrotfish and colourful reef fishes during your snorkeling trips.  Either our half day trip or full day snorkeling tour - FUN is guaranteed!

If space permitting, snorkelers can also accompany the divers on the boat for some snorkeling. Many of our dive sites are very well suited for snorkelling, with shallow reef tops and little or no current.

We can also organise a dedicated snorkel boat to take you out to one of the great snorkelling reefs around both Big and Small Island as well as the outer island of Pulau Rawa archipelago. The reefs are shallow, colourful and generally without any current. Especially Pulau Rawa is great, as there is a shallow lagoon with beautiful turquoise water and a small, uninhabited island with pristine powder white sandy beach. Why not make it a picnic? Order one of our delicious box lunches from The Bistro.

Snorkeling Day Trip can also be arranged to the neighbouring islands of Lang Tengah and Redang.  Along with Perhentian, these islands make up part of the richly diverse biodiversity of Terengganu Marine Parks.
