Redang Island - Malaysia

I have been to Thailand, Australia, Indonesia (yes folks… Bali is part of Indonesia), and I found Redang Island in Malaysia is the best so far. Crystal clear water, picture perfect view right from the doorstep of your hotel. All of that does not charged in USD, but only in Malaysian Ringgit!














T
he downside is the transportation. By bus, it takes about 8 hours from Singapore to the ferry port. From there, it takes another 1 hour ride to the island itself.

Air Asia connects Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (KL), and takes another flight from KL to Kuala Terengganu. From Terengganu, you still need to take taxi to ferry port and 1 hour ferry ride. Actually there’s another small airline, Berjaya Air that flies directly from Singapore to Redang Island. But honestly, I am not that adventurous to try, so I chose bus when I visited the island.

To save the hassle, Five Star Tour has package tours (hotel + bus + ferry) from Singapore to Redang island. The best hotel in the island is unarguably, the Laguna Redang.
