Lang Tengah Island is located between the two very popular
tropical islands Perhentian and Redang northeast of the Peninsular Malaysia.
Compared to Perhentian and Redang it is a small island, people mainly visit the
island to dive and snorkel (and relax at the beautiful secluded beaches). There
are no roads on the island (except for a few jungle paths); the only way to get
around is by boat. Most tourists stay at their resort, besides the daily
snorkeling and diving trips you can do some light hiking or kayaking. Meals are
enjoyed at the resort. Lang Tengah is quieter compared to the neighboring
islands, less tourists visit the island which means it has a more secluded feel
to it
To travel to the island you will have to take
the bus or airplane to Kuala Terengganu or Kota Bharu (quickest way is via
Kuala Terengganu). There are daily flights to both cities (operated by Malaysia
Airlines and AirAsia). The bus is by far the cheapest way to get from Kuala
Lumpur to Kuala Terengganu; there are daily busses that depart from Puduraya
bus station. From Kuala Terengganu, you can take a bus or taxi to Merang (a 45
minute drive to the north); where the ferry takes you to Lang Tengah in about
30 minutes. The taxi is the easiest but also the most expensive method of
transport to Merang (around RM40 from Kuala Terengganu). Do not confuse Merang
with Marang; the small coastal town south of Kuala Terengganu where the boat to
Kapas Island departs.
