Bubu Long Beach resort, Pulau Perhentian, Malaysia

Planning for a trip to Pulau Perhentian. Making all the research now and put it down while I still can remember all the information clearly. Will be staying at Bubu resort. can check out the rates and package at here Bubu resort. or you can choose other accommodation from cheaper to more expensive here which consists of the whole island map and all the chalet and resort.

Below is the address for the KL office. Located opposite Berjaya Times square, you can walk in to make reservation and payment or pay using internet.



I choose to walk in cos I can ask some other information. The polite sales manager said if we are lucky, we got chance to see turtle, shark and even dolphin.


We will drive up to Kuala Besut and the rest will be arrange by Bubu.

Will follow the below route:
From Kuala Lumpur – via Gua Musang Highway – Kuala Besut:
via Kuala Lumpur/ Karak Highway/ Bentong/Kuala Lipis/ Gua Musang/ Kuala Krai/ Machang/ Jertih/ Kuala Besut – Ex Pulau Perhentian (approx. 460 km)

and coming back thru:
Not confirm yet, will update later.

Another option is to fly up to Kota Bahru, and Bubu will arrange pick up from the airport. of course with charges and take about 1 hour to reach jetty

Can't wait for my 1st holiday for 2010........
