The Perhentian Islands are renowned as being the most beautiful islands in Malaysia and welcome droves of  tourists and backpackers each year. The waters are crystal clear and turquoise whilst the forests are lush green and teeming with life.

You will be based at the isolated bay of Tanjung Tukahs which is HOPE’s first project site located at Bubbles Dive Resort and Centre.  Bubbles is an environmentally conscious tourist resort which has recently  been rated as a PADI National Geographic Dive centre. The resort was started by Ronnie, Pei See and Eric Ng  who still run the resort along with two Aussies Libby and Shrimpy (Eric). The beauty and the isolation from the  outside world of the bay attracted them, which is undoubtedly the most beautiful bay in the Perhentian Islands. Another attraction was the nesting Green Turtles which can be seen nesting on the beaches from March and  from May to July turtles nest every night.  Turtle hatchlings are released from June to October.

In your consequent weeks you will visit and stay in the humble village on the small island.  At weekends you will get to visit some of the other bays around the islands to host an information booth spreading turtle awareness amongst the tourists visiting Perhentian.
