Turtle Point, Perhentian Besar
Turtle Point
A snorkeling site at the southern tip of Perhentian Besar. Seagrass and sandy seabed draw green turtles to feed, and you can almost always swim with them.
Turtle Point lies at the southern tip of Perhentian Besar. Its seabed of sand and seagrass beds is where green turtles and hawksbill turtles feed. On clear days you can see turtles surface to breathe right beside the boat. It is a regular stop on island-hopping snorkel tours. Half-day or full-day snorkel trips cost about RM40 to RM70 per person, including mask and snorkel, and you must also pay a marine park conservation fee. Keep at least 3 meters from the turtles. Do not touch, chase or ride them, and do not feed them.
Opening hours
Daytime (snorkeling tours about 9:00am–4:00pm)
