{ Pulau Redang }

Mr Lee and me went to book for our Star Cruise holiday yesterday. We wanted to go Bangkok with my family initially but changed our minds as a holiday getaway is supposed to be away from the hussle and bussle. Moreover, I just went there in Dec. We felt that the cruise was a super good deal as they seldom have 50% discounts! On top of that, Redang is considered a new itinerary. A super good way to get there by ship as coaching from Spore takes ages... Why not enjoy the facilities on board, swimming, suntanning, eating instead of roughing it out on the roads?

Note that Pulau Redang basically shuts down from 1 November to 1 March due to monsoon; the best time to visit is from mid-March to late September.

Redang Island, Malaysia.Redang Island or 'Pulau Redang' is one of the most captivating Islands in Malaysia. Located in the South China Sea off the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, visitors to this island will be greeted by crystal clear azure waters, pure white sands and swaying coconut trees.

I want to go for all! Unfortunately, due to time constrains, I can only choose one option. It would most probably be snorkelling. Shall check out the prices on board and decide then.
