Pulau Lang Tengah
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. Lang Tengah Island is located
about 40 km north east of Kuala Terengganu (22.5 km from Tanjung Merang) on the
east coast of peninsular Malaysia.
Tanjung 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 Tanjung 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 Tanjung Merang, Redang Island or the Perhentian Island.
The island appeals more to holiday goers who are looking for a quiet tropical
island getaway (compared to the development that is taking place in Redang
Island). There are only 4 hotels located on the island including one which has
closed down.
• Blue Coral Island Resort (closed down)
• Lang Sari Resort (formerly Square Point Resort)
• Redang Lang Resort
• D'Coconut Resort
