I spent 3 days in Flora Bay on Perhentian Besar. It was amazing being on an island that had no roads and cars.

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

If you walk over to the other side of the island (Three Coves Bay) late in the day make sure you have worked out how to get back again. The walk back through the jungle is unrealistic without a very good torch and you will take your life in your hands (and pay the earth) if you try a water taxi.
