Comments: this is one of the best sites i've been. excellent info for those who want to know more about redang. Great work! I'm actually a new diver and was in Perhentian 3 weeks ago for diving. Being a new diver, I was not able to identify the many different types of fish underwater. Your guide in identifying fishes is really useful and the pictures you posted are so beautiful! I'm so excited about going to Redang for diving next year. Keep up the good work and well done!

Comments: Very Very Interesting read. Thank you. Excellent pictures and tips. We are thinking of bring our 3 big kids to Redang. your site is indeed very helpful. Since there are 5 of us would it be better if we drive? how much it cost to stay at Laguna? Is it easier if we book through Ping Anchorage?

Comments: This website was practically my sole guide to Redang and it did not fail me one bit. Thank you very much for your excellent effort in compiling all info required for a complete holiday. I was able to compare all resorts through your website and your segregation of the resorts through criteria was very helpful. If all holiday destinations had such websites, it would make travelling a whole lot more fun and definitely hassle-free. Thank you again.

I told Pam that you'd put a couple of pics on your website and she immediately guessed that the pygmy seahorse was one of them. :) Fantastic website, by the way - very impressed with the layout and the depth and breadth of info here. Anyway, it was great diving with you and Seng Hock, learnt a lot from you about photography, marinelife and of course diving! Thanks and keep in touch.

Comments: Dear Alex and Joyce, Your website is the most comprehensive that I've come across on information of a place. Congratulations, it's most well-designed and informative. My husband and I are planning a trip there this June. This will be his first diving trip after 7 years (see what marriage and having 3 kids do to you) and he's really looking forward to it. This will be the first trip to an east coast island for us as a family and I'll be referring to your website on the various places to go and things we can do whilst we're there. Thanks for this and I hope that you'll be able to do the same with other islands too. Wana

Comments: Hi Alex, I really have to commend you on the time and effort spent in keeping this website updated and informative. I have been to Redang many years ago before the MoMoCha movie and most Singaporeans have never even heard of the place. It was really quiet and beautiful. I'm going there again middle of next month after the Vesak Day weekend. Hopefully it's not that crowded and still as beautiful as my first time. Your website really helped in my decision-making over which resort to stay at. Looking forward to the trip!

Comments: Never have I done this - signing in guest books... but I had to this time...to congratulate you on the most amazing job on your website and to commend you on your passion for Redang and your efforts in it's conservation. I was born and raised in K.Trg but now live with my Singapore with my husband and 2 kids. I sadly don't make it home very often (yes, I still call KT home even after all these years) because my family and work commitments now are entrenched in Singapore. I loved Redang and Perhentian as a kid and would go to the islands whenever opportunity presented itself. Which was not often then, as we had to travel on a fishing boat for nearly 3hrs before we got there and there were no resort or hotels to speak of then! But the islands were always beautiful and magical to a child. My last trip to Redang was over 12 years ago. My children now aged 9 and 4 respectively are avid fans of the islands. For even though I don't make it home, I make sure they do!They enjoy time on the islands with their God-Mama and God-Papa. It's wonderful to see their eyes light up when they speak of the islands, especially when they know they are returning to the islands soon. Glad to say, they are going again this June hols and this time with me and my husband in tow. And we are very excited about it. Thank you for your fabulous, most informative website and Thank you for reminding me of the magic of the islands of my home.

Comments: hi alex, what a wonderful and informative website you have here. i m from terengganu. i was at redang many years back, back then there was absolutely no chalet, we slept on the beach and redang has one beautiful waterfall,it was heaven. i went to redang last year, this is my 4th visit and i m sadly to say that this paradise is losing its charm due to the tourism business...with the new laguna chalet opening there, it becomes a disaster, it is just too commercialized with lots of disco and karaoke...no thanks to all the "chinese" mindset tourist whose idea of a fun trip is to dance and sing and make loud noise. the serenity of a island life is forever gone.not to mention all the pollution that caused by all the cigarette butts, drinking bottles, snack packages and everything. i wish the monsoon will be longer ...then at least redang got sometimes to breath .. :( sean

We always go early October and are generally lucky with the weather and hope for the same this time. We stay at the Berjaya Beach and have many friends there now and hope the new building has not changed the resort too much. It had not last year. Every time I look at your site I find things I had missed before and things I didn't know about the island. Great site. Well done. Brian

Comments: Great info for an excellent island resort, although basic, had a great friendly feel to it - we were very happy there. Diving was excellent - staying at resort enabled us to do several shore dives in addition to the boat dives - diving the drop-off from the shore was awesome every time. Was up at 6 am almost every day to get as much diving in as my computer would allow! Good value for money. My Mother always told me if I didn't have something nice to say about someone, I shouldn't say anything, so I have nothing absolutely, positively nothing about this one Tour Operator..LOL " -The Sarong Party Boys-

Will be visiting redang next year again! As for right now, i could only surf through Redang Island Rendezvous web site to capture back some of memorable memmories.

Comments: Thanks! Alex and Joyce ! You website is really informative and useful, amazing, keep going! Let more people to know there still has a place is unpolluted! I am a girl from Hong Kong, I will go to Reding next month, but there is nearly no travel tour to Reding. So I booked a package and go by myself. You know that Alex, there is no information about Reding you can find in HK, even the English travel guide book even a useful website. Because it is a expensive place to go for HK people, not much people will chose there as their destination. I am studying Environmental Technology, I love the ocean, but I also fear about the ocean, I understand how danger is it. I am so fear about the jelly fish use to be, but after see you site, I don't. I am so appreciate that you have provide many teaching about the marine life, safety precaution and the message to us to protect the ocean. There's not much website will do it, people have no concept to save the nature. Wish you happy everyday and your family!

I have always thought of Redang as a divers' only kinda place, and didn't think it was going to be a good place for kids aged 4 months to 4.5 years! But your site has proved me wrong. Thanks again, and continue having that great passion!

Comments: Hi. I was with Liu Saow Hong just one week prior to your latest trip. Our group of 12 was as usual the most loudest craziest on land but very disciplined underwater. We had a great time, redang is like our second home. The seas were very very rough when we arrived there (mind you the boat ride was one to remember too).We had a great time with everyone and the staff too. Must share some uw pictures with you guys. I use the sony P10. Maybe we can hook up on a dive trip together...

Comments: This is a very wonderful and useful website for people like us who love Mother Nature Creation of the SUN, SEA and SAND. Thanks to Alex and Joyce. It is nice reading and catching informative stuff in your website. Especially the good news on Berjaya Air flying direct from Singapore. Last weekend was supposed to be our third trip to Redang. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach there and end up in Kuantan. The bus brokedown thrice along the way. Three times in every interval of 2hours. That was disastrous. One kind advice: Never ever buy coach tickets from Operator: ADIK BERADIK. We gave up and called our Resort to cancel our booking and was told that the weather was very bad on Saturday, waters were high and boats were unable to go into Redang. No choice took a town bus to Kuantan to rest for the day....now praying the weather in Redang to be sunny and bright everyday. Despite the sufferings, we still plan to visit Redang paradise end of this month! Cheerios, Christine

Comments: hi , i think you're doing a fantastic job with this website, truely educational. i actually just got off from the island a few weeks ago on board with seatru helping them save turtles, here are a few pointers i would like to give to anyone who's planing to head on to redang: 1) do keep the place clean, plastic bags choke turtles and whole lot of stuff. 2) when snorkeling, please do not use sunblock, put on a t-shirt instead, sunblock kills corals, seriously. 3) also, don't feed the fish. it is sad, i did an experiment in the snorkeling spots, by cupping my hands, i get fish surrounding my hands... here's the theory of conditioning working at its best. 4) question your resort operators on their responsibilities in keeping redang environmentally sustainable. ask them about sewage/waste, sustainable tourist numbers, environmental commitments, ask them whatever. so...for those of you who are keen on going to redang, have fun... responsibly. chow chi ps:alex, it would be great if we can keep in touch
