Pulau Redang Transportation

I bought a free & easy flight package, available from Singapore-based tour agencies, including flights, 2 nights hotel stay (deluxe garden room) in Berjaya Redang Resort, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners and 1 snorkelling session for S$528 (including taxes and surcharges but not including a MYR5 for Marine Park entry fee).

Berjaya Air flies direct from Singapore Seletar Airport (not to be confused with Singapore Changi Airport) to Pulau Redang Airport once a day in the afternoon, every Mon, Wed, Fri and Sun. The journey takes 1.5 hours each way on board a Dash-7 plane, served by 2 stewardesses. The return flight is on the same days except that it is in the morning.

There are coaches transporting passengers between Pulau Redang Airport and the hotel.

Transnational operates daily air-conditioned coach services from most towns in Malaysia (including Kuala Lumpur:Puduraya,Putra; Johor Bahru:Larkin; Singapore:Kallang Baru Bus Station).

As for their timings, lookup from the website stated below.

You can get to Redang island from Singapore by car/bus/coach/taxi/plane follow by boat or ferry.

Transnasional VIP coach price is SGD33 one way for 9-10 hours. Daily 9 pm departure from Kallang Bahru bus station to Kuala Terengganu bus station. Deluxe coach is SGD26 one way. Chidren under 12 is half price. It is cheaper to book your return ticket to Singapore in Kuala Terengganu bus station. VIP coach is RM42.

Most effective way to buy your coach tickets from Singapore (SIN) to Kuala Terengganu (KT) is to go to Lavender Street, off Kallang Bahru Lorry Park to buy your tickets and be at the boarding point 30 minutes before departure.

From SIN to KT is SGD36 and return is SGD15.10. Total is SGD51.50

Daily departure at 9am, 8pm and 9pm.

Buses to Kuala Terengganu operate from Kuala Lumpur Pekeliling Bus Station in the north of the city, just off Jalan Tun Razak (close to Tun Razak Star LRT station).

There are two buses a day to Kuala Terengganu (from MYR25 per person one way, 9 hours) from Pekeliling.

There are a number of large company coach services leaving from the quieter and less intimidating Kuala Lumpur Putra bus station, opposite PWTC (easily reached by taking the Star LRT to PWTC station or a KTM Komuter train to Putra station), to Kuala Terengganu Express Bus Station and vice versa. It costs from MYR25.70 per person one way (7 hours, 10am and 10pm).

The main bus station of Kuala Terengganu is at Jalan Masjid Abidin. It serves as a terminal for all local buses. Some long-distance buses arrive there as well but most use the express bus station in the north of town.

Berjaya Beach Resort ferries leave Kuala Terengganu jetty (next to the bus station) daily at 10:30am and 3pm. It costs MYR80 return. Price is inclusive when you book the room package.

In the opposite direction, boats leave Redang for Kuala Terengganu daill at 8am and 1pm (8am and 12pm on Friday).

Note that priority is given to guests of Berjaya Beach Resort and if its boat is full, you will have to try to squeeze onto one of the other resorts' boats at Merang jetty. Please see next transportation tip.

To get to Pulau Redang, you will have to take a ferry from the jetty in Kuala Terengganu. Most resorts and chalets in Redang will include the ferry ride in their package so all you have to do is go the jetty and pick up your boarding pass.

The ferry ride will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes depending on the weather and sea condition. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the ocean and the time will fly by a lot faster!! :o)
