Day 14 Jul 2008

Direct flight from Singapore to Redang Island, in Malaysia (1 hour and 20 minutes). The waters surrounding Redang and the nearby islets have been declared a marine park. The island is covered in lush tropical vegetation and has some of the most unspoiled white beaches in the country. Redang is a corner of paradise, not yet touched by mass tourism, where the protection of its extraordinary natural heritage comes first. It is considered a paradise for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts because its waters are home to an unparalleled variety of marine life. It is also possible to take short excursions inland on the island, immersing yourself in the greenery to discover lush nature and various species of birds. Accommodation at the Coral Redang Resort.

The Resort offers full-board treatment, and one boat excursion per day for snorkelling at nearby beaches or islands. Among the various activities to do in Redang, there is the jungle trek that starts behind the resort and crosses the island, leading to a pristine beach entirely surrounded by palm trees (about 30-40 minutes), or snorkelling at the reef surrounding the promontory in front of the beach, where every morning you can swim in the company of harmless baby sharks.
