The best time to visit Pulau Perhentian Kecil is during the dry season, which typically runs from March to October.
During these months, you'll experience bright sunshine and calm, clear waters, superb for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. The sea conditions are generally excellent, offering the best visibility for exploring the coral reefs and marine life. This period also sees the most consistent boat services to and from the island.
For travellers who prefer a balance of good weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder months of March, April, late September, and October are ideal. The weather remains very pleasant, but the island is a bit quieter than during the peak summer months of July and August. You'll still enjoy all the main activities without the busiest beaches and dive sites.
Families often find the mid-season, from May to August, to be a great time. The weather is consistently sunny, and all facilities and tours are fully operational. There are plenty of options for boat trips to nearby islands and beaches, and the warm, shallow waters are excellent for children.
It's important to avoid the monsoon season, which usually starts in November and lasts until February. During this time, the weather becomes very unsettled with heavy rains and rough seas.
