Pulau Redang As the rays of the midday sun dive into Redang's brilliant crystalline depths, a whole world of colour is illuminated. Spin out over the delightful anemones, and marvel at the hues of corals and clams. On the other hand, land-bound tourists may partake in some admiration of the regional flora and fauna along the many jungle treks on the island. The largest of Terengganu's archipelagoes, Pulau Redang is the centre of a large-scaled marine park. As one of the few marine parks in Malaysia, Redang and its underwater inhabitants are protected by the Fisheries Act (1985). This means that no fishing is to be carried out within a 3.2 km radius of the island. Collecting coral and aquatic life, even as souvenirs, is prohibited. As to be expected, a wide choice of accommodation is available. From basic camping facilities to plush resorts, visitors can either beach themselves with an air of nonchalance, veg-out by the pool, jump into the various water-based activities or even play a round of golf. Recognised as the rainbow-hued jewel in Terengganu's amazing crown of islands, you can't visit Terengganu and not take a trip out to Redang. Located 50 km off the coast, the best way of getting there is to board a boat either at the jetty in Kuala Terengganu, Besut or Marang. The trip should take about two hours. For water adventurers, the nearby islands of Ekor Tebu, Ling, Pinang, Lang Tengah and Lima are snorkelling and diving havens. |
