Crystal clear water, peace , passion and everything you want for a perfect beach vacation! :) But they dont have sea sports like jet ski or banana boat as the worker told me that the island is meant for snorkelling and diving.

The best part of my holiday trip was snorkelling time. It is best to go snorkelling on sunny day so that the water is clear to see. Apart of that, it is the time to stay away from all online activities and take your time to relax and walk on white sandy beach at night. Wake up early if you... More

Very beautiful beach. A great place for snorkeling. Lots of fishes but not the best place if you like coral. It would be a very happy stay in the island.

CLEAN gorgeous island scenery like a postcard or magazine advert (with no rubbish lying around). BIG TICK. CHECK. Powdery, soft, white sand. CHECK. Aqua, azure, crystal clear water. CHECK. Palm trees slightly swaying in the evening breeze and providing shelter to nap in the day. CHECK. Snorkelling straight off various parts of beach. CHECK. Marine Park with good aquatic life... More

It is the best sandy beach that I have been to so far. A perfect getaway from hectic study and business life. Be sure to not destroy the natural aquatic environment with sunblock and plastic bags. And choose a good resort for you stay as every resort in Redang Island has a unique way of attracting tourists. Don't forget to... More

Loved the snorkeling at the marine sanctuary off the island. The beach at the main strip, Pasir Panjang, is really nice—fine white sand, clear waters, plus an awesome sunrise when you get around to waking up early enough. There's also an islet along the middle worth checking out. Diving is available at the leftmost side when facing beach (on the... More

Beautiful wates, beatutiful island, pity that hotels have succumbed to over tourism particularly targeting large Chinese tour groups. They have killed off all the corals and the sheer numbers frighten the poor fish. If you are looking for a romantic getaway, do your research and find somewhere you can have more privacy and quiet.

Find a good budget hotel, join their diving or snorkelling trip. It was fun. The sea water is crystal clear. We can't sea these water here in West coast!!! The sand is soft and as tiny as dust. You can see turtle, baby shark, coral and many types of fish during that area. Some of the hotel provided camera rental... More
