Redang Island Snorkeling Tour from Kuala Terengganu

Pulau Redang is a small island surrounded by crystal clear and has various beautiful diving possibilities for the aficionados. You may snorkel around the island as the coral reefs are in good health. The reefs of the redang archipelago are home to over 55 genera of corals and 100 species of fish. The best time to visit Redang is between March to September. The Northeast monsoon blows from October to February. Because of this monsoon the underwater world is a lot less beautiful as visibility is bad and there are currents.

The day begins with a drive to Marang Jetty, where your boat will be waiting to transfer to Redang Marine Park Center. The marine park has no resorts or villages so it is pretty much just nature and clear water. The sand is amazingly soft and white making it one of the ideal spots to sun bathe.

There are many snorkeling activities offered and snorkels here enjoy a great deal of marine life. There is plenty of coral in the water, which makes it harbor a lot of fishes and other sea animals. The fishes and marine creatures are friendly, so it is a safe spot for children to snorkel as well. You can find schools of vividly colored fish just 15 feet away from the beach which makes it safe and a great place to snorkel.

The main island is also perfect for nice nature walks. At the resorts you can ask for a map on which all roads are indicated. For these walks the same rules apply as the ones in the jungle, make sure you have an effective repellant against mosquitoes, and go well-dressed into the bush. Animals you might spot during your hike are monkeys, monitor lizards, fruit bats and squirrels.
