Recommended Activities To Do In Redang Island!

Coral Adoption Program
Though small, corals work alongside other marine life to create stunning coral reefs. These reefs are home to vibrant and rare species that coexist in an ecosystem that has thrived for centuries. Corals serve as essential habitats for ocean creatures and play a vital role in the marine environment. Sadly, many coral reefs have been damaged in recent years. The Coral Adoption Program allows you to contribute to their restoration—by adopting a small coral for RM40, you can help rebuild these underwater worlds for future generations.

Turtle Conservation
From May to October, Redang Island becomes a prime nesting ground for sea turtles, which makes it the perfect time to witness these majestic creatures. Of the seven global species of sea turtles, four can be found here. A must-do activity on the island is turtle watching and visiting the turtle conservation facilities. The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort established the SEATRU Turtle Lab in 2018, which educates visitors on turtle conservation and breeding processes. During the hatching season, you can even experience the magical moment of releasing baby turtles into the sea.

Snorkeling
For many, getting up close with underwater life is a dream come true. Redang’s vibrant marine life offers the perfect opportunity for this, with many species viewable from close proximity, but remember not to touch them to protect their safety. The island’s most famous inhabitants, sea turtles, are often seen while snorkeling, and guided tours make it easy to spot them in action.

Scuba Diving
Redang is a popular diving destination, known for being one of the most beautiful spots for scuba diving on the Malay Peninsula. The island boasts over 500 types of coral, 3,000 species of fish, and more than 1,000 varieties of aquatic life. With nearly 20 dive sites around the islands, divers of all levels can explore the stunning underwater world.
