Pulau Redang Transportation

Most resorts provide their own water transport services to the island. However, the boats and ferries do not operate at frequent timing. Most of them leave Redang early in the morning. Hence, you don't really get to stay long on the island on the last day.

Moreover, our bus transport (to Singapore) departed at night. Hence, we had a whole day at Kuala Terengganu. Thus, it is a good idea to find out from your accomodation what time the boats/ferries leaves Redang. You may need to plan for such time gap.

The Transnasional Express runs a service from and to Singapore and Kuala Trengganu

The service runs daily overnight services from Singapore to Kuala Trengganu and vice-versa.

Coaches depart from the Kallang Bahru Bus Station and the trip to Kuala Trengganu takes about 10 hours including getting across the Causeway (assuming normal weekday night traffic conditions).

One-way trips cost S$33 on a VIP coach, S$28 for a normal coach. Book your tickets from the TransNasional booth at Kallang Bahru Bus Station, just off Lavender street, opposite Singapore Casket or call Pan Malaysian Express at 02-62947034 for bookings and enquiries.



Another coach company, Five Stars Travel provides comfortable ride to Trengganu daily at 11pm from Golden Mile Complex (nearest MRT : Lavendar Station). Coming back, it departs from Kuala Trengganu Town, by the town jetty and leaves latest at 12pm daily.

Boats to Pulau Redang leave from Merang jetty. If you've organized your trip via travel agent, then you should have no worries getting put onto the right boat.

Each resort on the island has a separate check-in facility... meaning a desk with a guy in a resort t-shirt! The Coral Redang one was next to a nice little coffee-shop with the best teh tarik!

There are car parks as well - these were open air spaces on a field. I can't quite remember how much they cost, but it was minimal. They appeared safe enough. I'd leave my car there.

The trip itself was about 40 minutes long in a decent sized boat.
