Terengganu - Pulau Redang

TERENGGANU ：PULAU REDANG

Redang Island is a scuba diver's paradise.

Located 50km from the mainland

and a 2 hour boat ride from the Marang Jetty,

the island is surrounded by crystal clear waters,

pearly white shores,

a colorful array of spectacular marine life,

a breathtaking sunset,

and what could be the world's most mature coral garden.

The park is arguable among the best diving spots in the world

where marine life is protected

and souvenir hunters are liable for prosecution.

White sandy beaches,

crystal clear blue sea,

brilliant underwater world...

Redang archipelago comprises 9 islands：

1. Lima Island,
2. Paku Besar Island,
3. Paku Kecil Island,
4. Kerengga Besar Island,
5. Kerengga Kecil Island,
6. Ekor Tebu Island,
7. Ling Island,
8. Pinang Island
9. and the main Redang Island

that abound with marvelous marine fishes,

turtles

and coral reefs

that ensure great snorkelling and scuba-diving.

This paradise-like island is perfect for swimming,

snorkeling,

scuba diving,

jungle trekking,

fishing,

boating,

and canoeing.

Until recently,

accommodation has been in the form of chalets,

but if you are keen on luxury,

an international class hotel had just opened its doors.
