Subject: Berjaya snorkelling

I would like to come with my family to Redang in August for the first time.
I would like to have some privacy as well as good snorkelling conditions. But after reading your homepage I fear I can't have both.
So if I stay at Berjaya Beach Resort (I can book it from Germany), where and how can I go snorkelling? Is Redang overcrowded in August?
Do I have to dine at the Berjaya Resort or are the any other possibilities? How far is it from the Resort to the village?
Greetings from Germany

Berjaya Redang does not have a housereef right in front of it. Instead it has very clear, calm waters (it is well sheltered within a bay) with sandy bottom and one of the best beaches in Redang.

If you want to snorkel and see corals, you'll have to venture further out in the bay - the corals are along the sides of the bay. Alternatively, you can also enquire at the resort or at the nearby village (about 5-10 min walk away) for half- or full-day snorkelling packages run by the villagers which cover a few different locations around the island for snorkelling.

You can dine in any of the F&B outlets within Berjaya or the village style restaurants outside.

June is probably more crowded than August as it coincides with school holidays in Malaysia & Singapore. Still, it's possible to avoid crowds if you pick weekdays and avoid public holiday long weekends & school holidays. Check the holiday schedules in my 'visiting' section on my website.

Rgds,
Alex.
