You can begin your island hopping adventure by catching our "resort passenger boat" from Merang Jetty, Kuala Terengganu. There are daily flights via Malaysia Airlines from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Terengganu. (By road Kuala Terengganu is 490km from Kuala Lumpur). At the town of Kuala Terengganu, take a bus or taxi to Merang Jetty, thereafter you simply enjoy a 45 minutes scenic ride in our "exclusive resort passenger boat" to Laguna Redang Island Resort.
The park's abundance of well-scouted dive sites offer divers the opportunity of choosing what they want to see, almost like dishes from a menu. Among the most popular sites is the "Big Mount", a large coral pillar.
Expect to find numerous cowries, spider shells and a large aggegration of Christmas tree worms carpeting coral rocks, damselfish, butterfly fish, chromis, wrasses, rabbit fish, parrotfish and lionfish inhabit the coral garden. "Picture Wall" is a small coral facade brimming with sea fans and corals. "Cathedral Arches" a magnificently varied canyon network.
This boulder terrain presents itself for exploration; canyons and crevisses are patrolled by huge groupers. "Turtle Bay", at the northern end of the island, is a good place to spot large groups of sea turtles.
"Mini Mount"is a perfect spot for night dive. Divers are awaited by abundance of night creatures foraging for food around the reef. Plan to dive around 15m of depth, inspect under the fold of soft coral for cowries with its mantle fully extended, banded shrimp, crabs, sea-cucumbers, colourful sea urchins, spiny lobsters and the occasional octopus. |
