I've always fancied a visit to Redang Island or Pulau Redang (as known by many others) after catching the movie, Summer Holiday, in my younger days. A couple of months back, I came upon an attractive deal from Redang Bay Resort, so I thought, why not?
Flying with Berjaya Air from Singapore
Redang bay resort is situated on Redang Island, off the eastern coast of Terengganu (Peninsula Malaysia). It's so convenient if you are residing in Singapore, Malaysia or even Indonesia (from Batam). For my friends living in Kuala Lumpur, it's only a 6 hours drive away to the jetty at Kuala Terengganu or Merang.
70 minutes by plane from Singapore
My first time onboard Berjaya Air. Neat and comfy plane with little passengers. Taking a mere 70 mins by flight from Changi Budget Terminal, Singapore. I literally had my safety-belt on throughout the flight. I couldn't recall when was the last time I had my seat-belt in place throughout a flight.
Arriving in Redang
When I arrived in Redang, it was beautiful. Pristine, idilyic, glowing waters, powdery beach front, amazing coral reefs and the crew at the resort informed me that there are more than 20 diving and snorkeling areas around Redang Island.
45 seconds to the beach
The most impressive part of the resort I chose is that the beach is simply a few strides away from the resort. I guess maybe a 45 seconds walk? I was tempted to try out some of the features the resort offer including canoeing trips, karaoke, Beach football (my favourite), Kayak trips, and various card games. But nothing beats hanging out at the beach with a bottle of Tiger Beer.
Looking at some of the offers available at the resort which includes:
1. jungle trekking
2. scuba diving and snorkeling
I went with the snorkeling trip!
Tips when visiting Redang
Here are some tips if you plan to visit Redang anytime soon. :)
Price: RM 428 per person for twin room. This includes boat transfer from Merang Jetty.
An attractive package;
3 Days 2 Nights could include the following: 8 meals (2 breakfast, 2 lunch, 2 dinner, 2 tea break) all meals are buffet style with BBQ on alternate nights (I really enjoyed that)
There are some packages that comes with 3 snorkeling trips and operating at: 9.30am & 2.30pm everyday. One snorkeling location at Marine Park inclusive. You have a choice to replace it with a jungle trekking trip if If you are not into sea sports.
Do note that, all packages excludes: life jacket rental - RM 15, marine park fee - RM 5 and mask snorkel set rental - RM 15
Book a flight with Berjaya Air if you are from Singapore - it flies from Changi Budget Terminal to Redang Airport in a mere 70 minutes. Flight departing at 11.50am and reaches around 1pm Redang. Returning flight to Singapore is at 10am. This daily flight back to Singapore is a huge thumbs up for me!
Berjaya Air cost SGD 150 for return flight tickets comes with only 10kg luggage allowance. Is alright for me anyway.
With all that said, I had a amazing weekend at Redang Island.
