Subject: Boat Transfer from Mainland to Redang (first timer)

Hi,

i'm in the midst of planning a trip for a group of buddies to Redang in June.

I hope some of you experts out there can help us.

we're planning to take an air asia flight which will arrive in the afternoon (it's the cheapest one around), eta 1430. Are there any ferries leaving around that time from either the Shahbandar jetty in KT or the Merang Jetty?

thanks for you help.

If you are staying at Berjaya, I believe there is an afternoon ferry at 3pm leaving from Shahbandar jetty in KT - but then you'll take at least half an hour to reach KT from the airport including baggage collection, checkout etc. so that would be cutting it very close - the ferry requires visitors to be at the jetty at least 30-45 min before departure. Check with Berjaya.

If you are staying at other resorts, their speedboats depart from Merang (about 30-40 min away from KT airport) and as far as I know, most of the afternoon boats depart between 12noon to 1:15pm. Laguna may have a 3pm departure but again you won't make it to Merang on time for that. Best is to check with the resort you are staying at.

You can find out some boat schedules from www.redang.org/transport.htm.

Rgds,
Alex.
