Pulau Redang 2016

A short getaway is definitely refreshing,replenishing and rewarding despite a whole long journey spent on the road (Penang - Jetty Shahbandar: approx 9hours departing at 2100). It took another around 1hr30min on a boat ride from here to Pulau Redang.

Activities there are simple : WakeUp, Eat, Play, Eat, Play, Eat & Sleep and it continues.

Kids love them and we love them too.

Meals are simple too, not much varieties but it is filling and tasty. Buffet style.

Snorkeling equipment can be rented for RM20 (Mask+Life jacket) for your whole trip there and have to be returned only a night before your departure date in exchange for your Ferry ticket back.

People there were friendly and during snorkeling, the 'beach boy/lifeguards' may assist you to tour you around the sea area for "better underwater coverage view" with their 'lifebouy'. So swimming skills are not necessary. =)

So, relax and you will enjoy it.

HAPPY MID AUTUMN 2016

Where to spend mid autumn next year ?

PS: When leaving, it is advisable to leave the island at their earliest Ferry schedule to avoid jams on the road. Our journey back from Jetty Shahbandar to Penang took us almost 13hr including jams and stops (Jetty Shahbandar - Penang: approx 13hr departing around 1330 and arrived in Penang around 0200)
