HOW TO GET THERE
 Pulau Perhentian is located 21km off the Terengganu shore and accessible via Kuala Besut jetty. It takes only 30 minutes by boat to reach the island. The Kuala Besut jetty is 40 minutes drive from Kota Bharu and 1 hour 15 minutes from Kuala Terengganu and easily accessible by road and air. There are bus services to Besut from almost all major points in Peninsular Malaysia.
By Air : Air Asia & Malaysian Airline System (MAS) operates daily flights to Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Penang.
From either airport - you can easily get a taxi or airport limousine to Kuala Besut.
We recommend you take your flight to Kota Bharu Airport as the journey is shorter unless you have other agenda.
By Train : You can take a train from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur and stops at Tanah Merah. Tanah Merah is one of the stops recomended as the journey to Kuala Besut is shorter (approximately 45 minutes journey.) Taxi and Limousine services are easily available from Tanah Merah to Kuala Besut jetty.
