Boat at Jeti Merang, Kuala Terengganu

First week of school holiday, we organised a family gathering at Pulau Redang.Troop of us convoy from Seremban to Terengganu.We departed at 11.30 pm after Ikram's Maths Tuition and drove all the way to Jeti Merang, 40 minutes from Kuala Terengganu.
We are about 29 pax ( 6 families) and had rented chalet at Redang Mutiara Beach Resort.
The resort charged us RM400 for adult, RM200 for kids age from 4 - 12 years old and RM40 for below 4 years all inclusive.Quite expensive all because of school holidays.My mother inlaw said it is not Pulau Redang but "Pulau Duit"

When we arrived at Jeti Merang, we faced difficulties to cross over due to big waves which was totally different compared to Pulau Tioman. Nevertheless we managed to arrive safely at Redang Mutiara around 10 am.It was still early. After checked in, we had our welcome drink but some of our impatient members already on the beach and enjoyed the crystal water.

We went for snorkelling three times and the best part was at Marine Park. Dila and Fara were very happy since this was their first time snorkelling and I taught them how to snorkle and to float in the deep sea.
Mak and ayah were very sporting.Last year they followed us to Pulau Tioman and this year again to Pulau Redang.One thing I respect my parent inlaw is, they do not complaint anything either all the difficulties in boat riding, exhausted , challenge etc.

The children were very happy playing sand castle, swimming with the waves.The Redang Mutiara Beach Resort is the only resort which is located at Telok Kalong. We felt the privacy and freedom compared to Long Beach, the famous part in Pulau Redang.If anyone wish to holiday in Redang Mutiara Beach Resort, just call me I have all the info and contacts.

What is our holiday plan next year? Pulau Kapas or Pulau Perhentian or Tioman again since Along, Adik, Yan and Zamri missed the 2008 gathering...
