The first marine park in Malaysia, the Terengganu Marine Park, is situated imd the nine islands of the Redang archipelago, 45km (28 miles) northeast f:uala Terengganu and 27km (17 miles) out to sea. Sporting the best coral reefs and dive conditions off peninsular Malaysia, the park attracts divers with its many excellent sites. The largest of the islands is Pulau Redang (Redang island), where most people stay in resorts on overnight diving excursions. Begin II an hour's drive to the northern jetty town of Merang (not to be confused !i Marang, which is in the south), followed by an over water trip to any one he islands for scuba, snorkeling, and swimming.

The best place to stay on Redang is the Berjaya Redang Beach Resort * It's the best, mainly because they can arrange your entire trip and activities for yousters to and from the airport, speedboat trip to and from the island, accomodations, meals, and activities including scuba. Very no-muss-no-fuss. It also happens to be the most comfortable place on the island, with 152 Malay-style
chalets all with en suite bathroom, air-conditioning, phones, TVs with satellite programs and in-house movies, and minibars. Of their three restaurants, the beach seafood grill is the favorite. In addition to scuba and snorkeling trips to the coral reefs, they'll plan other watersports activities plus treks around the island. Their pool is a gorgeous lagoon-style affair by the beach. Very pretty. Contact Berjaya Redang Beach Resort at 800/88-8818 or 09/697-3988, fax 09/697-3899 . Rates are RMG00-RM800 (US$158-US$210) double.
