The gateway to Kapas Island is from Marang, jetty located 15km away from Kuala Terengganu (20 minutes bus ride). You can get the bus from Kuala Terengganu bus terminal, bus heading to Dungun or anywhere south can drop you on the way. Bus tix cost RM1.5-1.7 depends on the company.
Ask the bus driver to drop you off near the jetty. From the roadside, it is 10 minutes to the jetty, head to the seaside, pretty easy to find the way.
There are speedboat and slowboat from Marang to Kapas Island. Speedboat costs RM30, 10 minutes; slow boat costs RM20, 30 minutes or so.
