You can try Coral View Resort, i found the price is cheapest js around Rm410 (twin)per pax for standard aircorn, 455 for garden view... price is inculde snorkeling equipment oso. Coral View Resort RM410

That's 2D1N only.. Sure not enuf 1. U need 3D2N at least.

i'm goin on 19th april... staying at redang bay resort... 4 days 3 nites..
Sad things is... need to check out at 12pm... flight for air asia is at nite...
Damn... at least 6-7hours to wait for flight.... go where??

wait at airport lo or go KT round-round.

nope..redang lagoon is the cheapest..u can get full board for rm280 3d 2n per person..i stayed there 5d 4n..hehehe...but not recomended coz its damn budget chalet

some resort do provide ground arrangement n sum dont..so find out in advanced b4 goin coz when arrive by flight, to go merang jetty might take 45mins..after late, ur ferry leave u..find out all arrangements wit ur agent b4 goin there.

blue sand!! u got to mix around wit the locals there...not many visitors knoe bout it..there's 1 place jus after the bridge infront of the divers place at redang reef..there's safe..1 more sumwhr further..dont noe how to describe.i doubt they will charge u go see blue sand but its not alwiz u get to see...its like seein a shootin star..

im not sure bout atm machine..juz brin extra cash...beers are rm8.50 carlberg n tiger can...others didnt bother buyin..bottle liquor shud be the same as clubs in kl..u can see lots of kids dancin at the beach party..ahhaha...

beach shorts there are cheap n price at rm29 onli..
the ice cream cone at redang beach is onli rm1.60..the ramly burger there is nice n cheap..i find the water there taste funny!!

dont be a hero n not use sun block..the heat will burn u for sum!! n if u cant swim, dont go so deep in the sea..there was a guy stayin at laguna who got pulled by the current..luckily the locals saved him...im not scarin u but warnin u!!

brin sea sick pills for 1st timers..loads of sun block or tannin oil..eheheh..shades..cotton bud..
btw, things there r not really expensive..juz few cents more than kl

u stayin at redang bay izit?? how many to a room?? if poss, snap sum picts inside the room..doin a research now..when i was there, redang bay n beach staff were super unfriendly..i juz want to see the room so i can plan my next trip.. i went to laguna, the dude took me a whole tour of laguna..damn friendly..if u can afford it,, laguna is the place..coral beach is a bit far from entertaintment but nice though

Kornflake,

i'm staying at Redang beach resort.... total we got 9 of us goin... sum couple in one room, sum 3 ppl in one room, sumtimes me oso blurr.... coz redang got so many resort starting wit Redang name, confused which is which... hahahaha...Ya... i will try my best to capture more pic....

Cant wait till this 19th.... for 4 days 3 nites but unfortunately i cant swim.... damn scared of snorkeling.... but more hated is... how are we goin to spend on sunday... air asia flight on nite time.... we have whole noon, duno where to go... btw where to shower....

if poss, get picts of the room for 2..thanx in advanced.

snorkelin, u wud have a life jacket on..juz dont panic..remember brin loads of bread coz the fish all spoiled edy..
if im not mistaken, redang beach jetty is at shahbandar..juz get a motel there n spend sum time..confirm u can get a room less then rm100..
if not tired, u can take a boat for rm0.80 to kampung nelayan to waste more time.

u lucky... coz i'm staying a room for 2, wit my gf....
Harr... go snorkelin muz bring bread ar....?? getting for free for da bread or need to buy?
btw, frm KT...we ride boats to redang rite? when we reach tat time... is there any platform to hop into at jetty or we juz jump into da beach when reach....?
btw, can we wear shorts while taking air asia ar... kekeke...

if brin bread, the fish will come to u..im not sure whether ur resort provides but there's a shop at redang bay that sells bread for fish at rm1.00...if not, gasak bread from ur resort durin breakfast time.ahahahh

most probably the boat will use laguna's jetty..

i ddint brin any long pants..the whole time use beach shorts n slippers..

got take pic or not... share share la...

i went once to redang pelangi, i jumped into the water when coming out of the ferry. Damn fun. But u will get wet.

Bout blue sand, its located after the wooden bridge near the "more more cha" hut. Heading towards Redang Reef. There's a small beach area there. Just go near the water and keep gosok the wet sands with your leg. Its like moving the sands out of your way but just with your leg. Eventually the blue sands will come out. But keep noticing the sands as it is very very hard to see if there is some light around you. Don't use a torch. It'll just spoil the mood.

So anyone can answer me if there is a safe parking located at Kuala Besut, which is the jetty for Pulau Perhentian?

Why you don't take MAS? MAS got flight on 4.00 pm and the price is almost the same.

when i went to kt from kl, my flight thru n fro was rm82 with Airasia..

Both my gf and me are non-swimmer. I'm still worried about snorkeling at Redang. Can someone give me some opinion again? Is it really safe?

Me too..not a swimmer...starting yes very scary & need assistant from the boat workers....just ask their help to secure u at beginning & whn u feel comfortable & floating....enjoy urself...or practise at the beach first....

Safe...yes..once u're wth life jacket for sure u will float

u can also ask the boats man to throw a rope thats tied to the boat..so if u float away, u can pull the rope to get back to the boat..juz be calm n happy snorkelin
