GETTING HERE
To get here Pulau Redang or Lang Tengah, you should first visit to Kuala
Terengganu (KT). KT is easily accessible by air, by coach or by car. The Jetty
is at Merang, KT to Merang Jetty, about 35 minutes away by coach,where you will
board a speedboat to Redang. The journey takes about 40 minutes. Sometimes, you
may even hop on a speedboat from KT itself, in which case the journey to Redang
will take about 1 hour.
If you're headed for Perhentian, you should head for KT or Kota Bharu first,
then get to Kuala Besut (90 minutes by road from KT) where you will catch your
speedboat for the 35 min ride to Perhentian.
If you're headed for Kapas or Gemia, head south from KT to Marang (25 minutes by
road), and board the speedboat at Marang jetty fo the 10 min speedboat ride to
Kapas. Don't confuse Marang with Merang, the departure point for Redang.
If you're headed for Tenggol, head south from KT to the sleepy town of Dungun,
then get on the speedboat for the 35 minute ride to Tenggol.
