Redang is not VERY small as you think. It takes 25Km to circle the whole Island and almost same distance from Island to mainland.
Compare Phi Phi Island, Redang 2,5 x bigger but of course Penang Island much more bigger

Yes, there got few par 3 but worry you cannot find green.

3D 2N not enough time for you to explore some more want to tee off.

aiyoo so sad go holiday see naked ppl....
redang resorts are more established. but i dun like redang cause the diving there isn't as good... unless ur really lucky.
tenggol.. now that's a spot but beware of sand flies

wow that big.. i never realized it..
it's nice to walk early in the morning when the sun rises, you can see some people doing yoga as well..
or late at night, talk a walk.. enjoying if you walk in groups and romantic for couples too

hey which 1 nicer pulau besar or pulau kecil?

actually i think it also depends on the resort and beach you're at, because perhentian beaches are not like redang. redang beach is a whole stretch where u can walk from one end to another.

perhentian have many mini beaches which u can reach by the boat taxis. the shores are not connected.

hi,
just wonder got ppl go any island during cny?

verrrrry few i think.. think the sea would be rough and might be raining

can someone help me out here. I heard redang is a duty free island, but are there any duty free shops where we can buy booze and chocs at cheaper prices.

As fas as i am concerned, tioman has one, and it's really cheap there.

Any in redang?

Thanks.

I don think Redang is a duty-free island. Langkawi is.
In fact, Redang island is a very small island only, there are seldom shops there.
I believe you can search for more info about Redang from Yahoo or Google.

between the two resorts at Lang Tengah, which is a more recommended place to go? I'm bringing my gf there and i heard that Pantai Pasir Air (redang lang) is nicer and the snorkeling is better.

if u go to lang tengah, u'll end up snorkeling in redang places as well coz everywhere is so close by.
but lang tengah got privacy. check the pages b4. i displayed the prices for scuba n snorkeling gear. there is only 1 resort in lang tengah. and if u dont go full board, i dunno what u gonna eat.

Lang Tengah ar?
Never step foot there, just past by and snorkeling near there.
It is a small island.

small but still a long way to walk around the whole island

need 1hour+ to walk from laguna ----> kampung melayu (jeti there) to makan.

Guys, i heard there's another island called Pulau Gemia near Pulau Perhentian. Anyone been there? Does it even exist?

confirmed got such island but never been there b4... kinda costly as well.. compared to the other bro and sister islands around gemia

btw.. wanna know about lang tengah experiences compared to perhentian? i planned a holiday deciding to go lang tengah than perhentian.. i hope my decision is right...

about the 3 resorts, i selected d`coconut hmm coz i felt is the nicest and the rates is kinda reasonable..

i've been to redang and perhentian
redang is more commercialized, therefore the snorkeling spots are not that nice, and a lot of dead corals, water is shallow.

if you're aiming for a good snorkeling trip, i'd suggest perhentian. the corals are far more beautiful, im able to see a lot more compared to redang.
just that the beach is not that attractive as redang's beach.

Pulau Gemia or Gem Isle

It's beside Pulau Kapas, Perhentian is above Lang Tengah and Redang

yoyoyo,im planning to go perhentian with my bf on May,any recommended place to stay?

i'm a fan in Lang tengah. Good spot if u wan some privacy than bunch of hooligans that never seen water b4 come splashing water on your face.hahahaa.

Been there every year for the past 4 years. Although the facility cannot be compared to redang laguna or berjaya redang. You get the neccessity llike water, aircond, electrcity.

If u wan to have some nice snorkelling spots. Lang tengah offers good shore reefs but u need to be adventorous.

Lang tengah is a good place to learn to dive because of the sea condition is not rough it have minimal wave and sandy bottom good for students that cant stay put and knocking on the pitiful corals.
as for diving go to Redang, perhentian,tenggol,tioman this other islands are better of in terms of sea life.
