Lang Tengah Island (or Pulau Lang Tengah in Malay) is an island
off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia. It features crystal clear
seawater, white beaches and an untouched tropical jungle. It is
located roughly halfway between Pulau Redang and Pulau
Perhentian, and is connected to the mainland by ferries to
Merang.
Getting There
Lang Tengah Island is located about 40 km north east of Kuala
Terengganu (22.5 km from Merang) on the east coast of peninsular
Malaysia.
Merang is a small fishing village 45 minutes north of Kuala
Terengganu and the jetty is a few minutes outside of the
village. The Lang Tengah Island can be reached by boat from
Merang (not to be confused with Marang, south of Kuala
Terengganu), 45 minutes’ drive north of Kuala Terengganu.
Speedboat departures from here are usually pre-arranged with
your resort and take 40 minutes. Most boat operators have a
fixed schedule, with two departures daily (morning and
afternoon) in peak season and one departure in off-peak season.
Transfers cost around RM95 return.
It is possible to charter a boat (from RM380 per trip) to Lang
Tengah Island from Merang, Redang Island or Perhentian Island. |
