Hi Samurai,

I heard KL is scorching hot this month, I was wondering if the same can be said of Redang/Perhentian.  I have checked the MET website and the number looks ok. Thought I will check with the guy on the ground, I am not keen to visit the islands when temperatures are consistently above 33-34 range.

Btw, if you can offer me a better package that what I can get on Laguna Redang website for a group of 10 (6A+4C), please PM me, I wil be travelling to Redang and Gem Island with my family during 3rd week of June 2010.  Thanks.

I don't Samurai is correct on the quiet part. If you want quiet, I would recommend Laguna, Coral Redang as they do not have their own outdoor disco. We do have our own disco, but it promptly shuts by 12am. But our neighbours (Redang Bay and Redang Holiday) normally do play their music till later hours.
*
Long Beach are noisy during night life... Laguna with Life band , Redang Beach...disco , Redang Bay , Redang Holiday.. rclxub.gif

100% really quiet... Redang Mutiara at Telok Kalong and Berjaya Redang..Telok Dalam Kecil...

And does the snorkelling spot for Reef same as the others along Long Beach?

Well, i have been there last year, staying at Laguna Redang. Saw the sharks as mentioned as well as we are guided by the Laguna Life guards to the place smile.gif Very friendly people. Just checking to see whether the 3 snorkelling spot that i have been when i am at Laguna are actually the same spot for Reef as well. I understand that the marine park would be the same. How bout the 2 other spots?

Telok Kalong Besar , Pulau Paku Kecil and Pulau Kerengga smile.gif

Hie,

I am really a newbie, haven't been to redang yet. The coming trip is around end April. I'm planning to catch a night bus to go there, any recommendation which Bus Operator should I get the ticket from? My resort ppl recommend Sani Express, but my concern is that they just got into a bad accident end of last year in the perak area.

So any other recomendation? Or Sani is still the best?
*
There many choice of bus..such Mara Linear,SP Bumi ,Transnasional,Adik Beradik , Mutiara , Sutera

how bout tioman? i've planned end of march to snorkling there. can sumbody tell bout tioman?

Added on March 18, 2010, 10:06 pmalready going perhentian besar. turtle chase activities really fun with bunch of friends.. and 'candat sotong' is the moment i never forget.. beach volleyball fun too.. but night life kinda boring.. nothing to do except minum2.. i heard from my friend, perhentian besar suitable for family trip.. can sumbody tell about perhentian kecil?
*
Never been to Tioman Island before..maybe this year..

Perhentian Kecil..most happening place is Long Beach..where you find budget chalet with minimum RM40 per night..bed with fan only..most backpackers from Europe like to stay here.Lots people like sunbathing here.. drool.gif

If you want happening night..Perhentian Island is not the right island..go Redang Island..Open Disco until 12.00 midnight.. tongue.gif

can anyone rate below islands? just want snorkeling and not diving.. and of course want a super clear water and awesome view thumbup.gif

Pulau Tioman - heard water not so nice and sand not white anymore, really?
Never been there before..No Comment


Pulau Kapas + Gemia - "The water is indeed clear, though somewhat not comparable to that of Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian or even Pulau Lang Tengah." - Source

Yes..water clear but Marine life such coral and fish much more better at Redang ,Perhentian,Lang Tengah and Tenggol


Pulau Rawa - quite expensive to go?

Pulau Rawa at Johor or Terengganu...

Perhentian island also have Rawa Island and Susu Dara Island..among the best spot for snorkeling..


Pulau Tenggol - purely for divers only?

Not for divers only ,you can snorkeling at front the resort..there are beautiful coral and lots of fish..

Pulau Lang Tengah - already went to Redang and Perhentian b4, is it worth to go here?

There some snorkeling site lots dead coral , but not at all..


any of u who write blog with photos maybe can share out so i can read, thanks! notworthy.gif

Not for divers only,you snorkeling at front the resort..Tenggol among the best snorkeling site for me..100% worth the money..

Btw..will be going to Perhentian Island on 28/5/2010. Have booked a room in Abdul Chalet facing the sea..is it nice?? smile.gif

Its nice,since you booked for Suite Sea View.. tongue.gif
