Pulau
Redang (6 km by 7 km) boasts of rich and
diverse ecosystem, people from all over
the world are attracted to this little
island because of its vast and magnificent
marine life.
The Redang archipelago is made up of 9
islands, Redang is however the only inhabited
island in the cluster. It's been declared
a marine park since 1994 and only to visit
it once, will you understand the need
to protect this tropical paradise and
natural wonder. Redang has a vast stretch
of white beaches, the main beach "Pasir
Panjang" is the Gateway to exploring
the 8 remaining islands for diving and
snorkeling. Under a perfect blue surface,
lies a world so diverse its sure to impress
one and all.
Thousands
of juvenile fish taking shelter from the
hunting jack, tuna and barracudas or perhaps,
a closer study will reveal crustaceans,
echnioderms and moluscs all doing there
part. The loud chomping sound from bumphead
parrot fish as they nibble at Coral, and
the sight of a turtle gliding by is not
uncommon. The rest of the island can only
be described by saying: "It's a jungle
out there." There is much adventuring
to be done, and the amount of fauna ranging
from birds, toads, bats, chameleons, butterfly,
gecko, monitor lizards and of course the
hair raising monkeys… are sure to
keep any visitor intrigued.
