Dying corals in the sea and dead corals by the beach
In a nutshell
Difficult to get to, but well worth it
Arfah Says: This doesn't require a lot of energy and money too! I spent just sitting lazily in front of my room...quietly of course...and the next thing I saw were squirrels running up and down the trees around the area. Some were even brave enough to come closer.There's monitor lizards...
Arfah Says: If you have extra time, consider building a sand castle by the beach...it was fun for me and hubby challenging ourselves to build better looking castle...and of course the winner was me!!! This activity is definitely free, just pick any good location with a good view to...
Arfah Says: Not satisfy with the beach in front of your resort or feeling like trying another beach? Go on a beach trekking then. Hubby and I did this once we got to Lang Tengah. Walking from Lang Sari to the very right of the island led us to this cove like area with a lot of...
Arfah Says: Sitting lazily on the jetty while enjoying the view was good too. Of course you're not really encouraged to do this when the sun is scorching...wake up early and do this...you'll see crabs, jelly fish, colourful fishes and other underwater species int the water too. You can...
Arfah Says: Also one of my favourite activities, in fact it's a must do on any island/beach trips. It's the time when a pareo/sarong became very handy. Would have been nice if there's a hammock too...but this gave the same fun as well. Just find a nice spot where it's not too...
Tropical Restaurant: Simple but sweet and tasty
Arfah Says: The restaurant is not open 24 hours. It's only open during breakfast, lunch and dinner when it accommodate meals for the resort's guests. Meals served here were always locals. Though simple...but most meals were quite tasty. This is not like the island where you'll found...
juliewong Says: Basically, during the night, the island is very much quiet except for the sounds of resort guests walking about the cafeteria and games area. At the games area, on weekends, guests would play Chinese "Mahjong" or some groups will be chatting away the night, making new...
bladedragon Says: One of the local told us that every night they can usually catch 2-3 falling stars in the sky.Too bad it was full moon when we were there so the sky was super bright and difficult to spot a falling star.
Kuala Lumpur to Pulau Lang Tengah
Restless-in-kl Says: - Fly from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Trengganu on Malaysia Airlines or Air Asia (1 hour). Take the first flight in the morning to mazimise your day- Arrange with resort for land transfer from airport to Merang jetty (45 min)- Resort ferry will be waiting at jetty to go to island...
Arfah Says: Buses will stop at the Kuala Terengganu Bus Station. I'm not so sure exactly where it's located, but one thing for sure it's definitely somewhere in Kuala Terengganu. Here, you will find other buses and taxis which will take you to Merang Jetty. It's about 40-45 min drive to...
Arfah Says: Merang Jetty (Jeti Merang in Malay) is where you take a boat to Lang Tengah or Redang Island. The jetty which is situated in the district of Setiu is about 39 km from Kuala Terengganu. Getting here by car is much faster...about 40 - 45 min...bus ride is much cheaper but will...
Arfah Says: For boat rides to Lang Tengah, the easiest and safest would be by making the bookings with your resort. There are only four resorts on the island, and all have got their own boats to ferry their guests. I'm also quite certain that most holiday packages offered will include a...
Comfy bus ride to Kuala Terengganu
Arfah Says: To get to Lang Tengah Island, you need to take the boat from the Merang Jetty. Merang Jetty is just about 30-40 min drive from Kuala Terengganu.To save up time, we decided to travel at night via bus to Kuala Terengganu. I used to travel with the same bus company during a...
last minute shopping @ Merang Jetty
Arfah Says: Here at Jetty Merang, you'll found several wooden shops selling swim wear, hats of various colours, pareo, slippers and souvenirs like key chain, fridge magnet, t-shirts and etc.If you're looking for souvenirs with Lang Tengah written on it...that can be a bit difficult...
Redang Lang Souvenir Shop: The only shop I found here
Arfah Says: It's the only shop on the island...well, that's according to the people here. After checking out all resorts...yeah...that's definitely the only one. It's a simple wooden shop located right inside Redang Lang Resort. From the beach, walk into the resort's compound...wash...
Be careful when you're walking barefoot
Arfah Says: The white sandy beach is not really sandy all the way. Many parts of the beach are covered with dead corals/stones just like the photo. Walking barefoot along the beach is fun to do but be careful with what you're landing on. You'll found similar stones in the water too.
dimanche Says: Although this island is relatively less commercialised than Pulau Redang, its sad to find that there are a lot of dead corals lying around even in the rather shallow areas. It would be good to either rent a pair of fins or have a pair of aqua shoes ready when going...
yurijade Says: Bring backpack and big plastic bags to cover your backpack if you don't want it to get wet or dirty. Swimsuit, Tshirts & shorts, sandals and a shawl. You can buy the shawl in the Merang jetty for RM15. Just wrap the shawl to your body if you are cold. That way you use less...
bladedragon Says: I'd suggest you bring backpack coz it's easier to carry around for transfer (for me Singapore - Larkin - KT - Merang - Resort), trust me you wouldn't want to carry hand luggages thru all that. Bring your swimming/wet suit, for the rest (we rented mask, snorkel, fins and...
lovebeach Says: You can trek round the island. Square Point provides trekking for their guests FOC, if I'm correct cos every other evening, we'll see their guests.For me, I just trek from D'Coconut East Wing to Blue Coral. Too lazy to even walk to Redang Lang Resort. The whole journey is...

Q: So after a mistake I made (I thought Penang is only 3 hours from Kuala Terengganu and we could take a bus ) which caused me...
A: As far as I know (and when I've been there) each resort at Lang Tengah island has its own boat and (of course) its own boat trip. That's why you should not missed it. You...
