Redang    
About an hour by boat from Merang on the mainland, this is one of Malaysia's most beautiful islands. It lies amid a protected marine park, and its coral reefs are a showcase of spectacular and varied marine life and mature coral gardens. Small wonder that beach-fringed Redang is a world-renowned Mecca for scuba divers and snorkellers. There's excellent boating, too, as well as jungle trekking and some memorable sunsets!
