Step by step

  1. Get to Kuala Terengganu

    Fly from KLIA (Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Firefly) or Subang (Firefly) to Sultan Mahmud Airport, about an hour. D'Coconut Lagoon advises flights that land before 8 am. Buses from TBS in Kuala Lumpur take 6 to 7 hours, so if you come by bus, stay in Kuala Terengganu the night before.

    Bus RM43–73 · drive 5–6.5 h

  2. Go to the right jetty

    D'Coconut Lagoon, Sari Pacifica and the Vigourmarine public boat use Merang jetty in Setiu, about 26 km from the airport. Summer Bay uses its own Mangkuk jetty near Kampung Penarik, about 19 km further north-west. Do not confuse Merang with Marang, the jetty for Pulau Kapas. The boat operator's shared van leaves the airport at 10:00, too late for the 10 am boat, so take a taxi.

    Taxi RM60 from the airport, RM70 from KT town · parking RM10 a day at Merang, RM15 a night at Mangkuk

  3. Pay the fees

    Pay the marine park conservation charge at the jetty; it is not in the boat fare or the package. Summer Bay guests also pay a Mangkuk jetty fee.

    Conservation charge RM30, MyKad holders RM5 · Mangkuk fee RM7 or RM20

  4. Cross to Lang Tengah

    Boats land at your resort's own jetty. If you miss the day's boat you must charter one: RM550 with D'Coconut Lagoon, or RM900 for a small boat with Summer Bay. Book a Summer Bay charter at least 3 days ahead. There are no night boats.

    45–60 min from Merang · 35–45 min from Mangkuk

  5. Hop on to Redang or the Perhentians

    Vigourmarine runs one boat a day from Lang Tengah to Redang at 11:00 and to the Perhentians at 11:10, in season.

    Redang 25 min, RM120 · Perhentian 40 min, RM100
