So, we booked our package from a tour agent ATW TRAVEL & TOURS SDN. BHD. We took the cheapest one cause we are students and we wanted to save as much as possible. We are under REDANG HOLIDAY .
Our package was priced at RM306 per head. It changes according to months or so. So it might be slightly more expensive if you are going there next month.

We started our journey from UTeM , Malacca. There was bus provided for student to go to Melaka Central as the semester break just started. We moves at 6pm and then went and had our dinner at McDonalds. We took our bus at 8.30 pm to Kuala Terengganu Bus Station . There were some stops throughout the journey and we reached the Bus Stop at the wee hours at around 5am. You can just walk a short 5-6 mins to the jetty . They do have optional Add On Item provided in the package which include 2 ways KT Bus Station at RM10 per person. Cut troat lah! So expensive. So remember, if you are reading this, the distance between the Bus Stop and the Jetty is not that far, please do not waste your money , unless you have your own personal reasons or health issue.
We waited until about 9am then boarded the ferry, the journey was around 1 hour, and it was frezzing cold in the ferry. The people met us at the drop down point and we sat their special car to their resort.
I did not take much photos this time as I am not really close with everyone, and then it was such a big group , and I wanted to just purely enjoy this 3 days.
The snorkeling experience was the best thing. We went snorkeling on the first day itself. There were fishes and corals and I accidentally cut my my leg. For the second day, in the morning, we went to the Marine Park area to snorkel. It was the best one of all 3 experience. The corals were so near and so high, and there were tons of fishes, so close and so pretty. The afternoon session was a little bit let down as there were barely any fishes for us to watch, not until we bait them with bread of course.
Accomodation wise, I did not like the room. It was a little bit small, with 4 people sharing, and the hygiene part was not taken care of. The moment I step into the room, there were already sandy sandy feelings, hello housekeeping? The floor mat was even worse, they did not clean them at all and end up we have to go out and clean the mat ourself. Washroom was just ok, thank God there have heater too. The mattress can be seen with little black stuff, not sure is it permanently ink on them or just plain dirt.
Food was awesome! I really enjoy every meal that they serve. Its really delicious and yummy. There even have bbq chicken and lamb chop for dinner on the 2nd day! Food wise, I could not complain at all. And there place is popular with squrrel, you can feed them when they come near to you, good and fun experience,
The beach was superb. It was well maintained and it was not polluted-yet! There were even school of small fish swimming at the shallow areas. Saw some tiny crabs too.
And we went to an Open Bar on the 2nd night, hear some melodies while playing the TRUTH game and the other guys order beer , its so expensive , alright maybe I don't really go to places like this so its like a little bit of a shock. Even bringing your own can of beers will be charged RM2 per can. ( I though they just put up the notice for fun , or maybe give face not to charged us since some of them already purchase their stuff, but nope, they charged us still ) .
Sorry, did not snap the food and the fishes, mainly because I just wanna enjoy and just not being the guy who always need to update his instagram. This trip was fun, exciting and all , but I would maybe tried out another package another time the accomodation is a real let down. Go there and experience yourself, Redang is still a beautiful place to explore. But I saw people still selling turtle eggs opening at their market . Why? How is that possible? I thought they are protected creatures ?
Till then,
Cheers.
