Depends where your jetty is departing. Some jetty depart from marang and others from KT. KT got plenty of secure parking for about 5RM a day. Not too sure about marang tho. If going perhentian islands then park at kuala besut jetty. Got also secure parking there. RM5 per night.

 

 

 

24 hour petrol at kuantan should be no problem. Just be careful riding at nicht there. Not very lit up the roads.

 

oh, i always confuse marang and merang. I mean the town above KT. Below KT is a marang/merang that has ferry to kappas island.

hihi..i just came back frm there....pls b careful....there are two ways to KT....one by NS high way u exit yong peng and go by the small road to kuantan which is very dangerous coz its very dark and its basicall a one lane two way rd. once in kuantan, u have to look for coastal rd which is nice realy.full of corners and animals kekeke very fun but dangerous for novice riders...its a very intermediate route. for noobs, alternatively, u can take the NS highway to KL then take the Kuantan highway to kuantan and then coastal rd. Once in KT, u can park ur bike at the jetty, the jetty operator will jaga free for u. Redang is damn nice...managed to see turtles,baby sharks and a barracuda. n u can take the new lmt highway back to KL if u like

Parking is no problem as Marang jetty is almost similiar to mersing jetty which has an enclosed carpark.I drove there for my diving trip wif my wifey last september via NS highway exit yong peng-segamat highway-trengganu(coastal road-2 lane road).just a reminder,best to go on sunday or public holiday as road is clear without trucks or trailers.it took me 8hrs from second link inclusive breaks.

 

at marang jetty,u can find all the hotel reservation reception(u will be surprised tat their package is 30-50% cheaper than what spore travel agents quoted u..!).which will provide the ferry ticket as well.tipping of car park attendants is not necessary as 70% are singaporean vehicles.

 

resorts?hmmm...all redang resorts are good as the water is clear and blusih green and water visibility seldom drop below 20metres.try to go the marine park and u won be dissappointed.u can see green turtles,large bumphead parrotfish to the most dangerous titan triggerfish and a shipwreck.all beaches in front of all redang resort are snorkeable and diveable.

 

my ratings

water visibilty -4 stars

marine life -3 stars(cos water currents are mostly warm so u dont get c

creatures of cold currents.

ambience -2 stars(tourist densely populated)

overall -3 stars(at least water quality is better than tioman)

 

hope it helps...
