Pulau Redang, or simply Redang as it is commonly known as, is one of the largest islands in all of Malaysia. This is by far one of the most popular holiday islands in the country and is known for having a wide variety of packaged deals for tourists. While snorkelling, diving, and sun tanning are the main draws there is a lot more to Redang when you research beyond the surface. The group of 9 islands offers something for everyone and has all of the ingredients for you to put together an unforgettable Malaysia vacation.
Vacationers can access Redang, which is in fact a marine park in and of itself, from boat tours operated from Merang or Kuala Terengganu. For the more affluent there are also air charters that set off from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to this magical destination.
A few of the big draws for scuba divers heading to Redang, especially for scuba divers, is the fact that the island has been classified as a sea turtle conservation site and also the infamous dive sites of shipwrecks such as the HMS Repulse and the HMS Prince of Wales.
