Pulau Redang, Marine Park




This is the look of Redang Island Marine Park. Yea, if you go to Redang, this is a must visit place for you. I believe that every of the tours there will include a trip to this marine park. It is a wonderful place for all the marine life there, works as a sanctuary.





So you see, this is how we snorkelling there. A staircase lead down to the sea, and if you snorkel around that area, you can definitely sees tons of fishes swimming here and there. All those fishes will surround you, there are fishes everywhere. You can get some bread from those beach boys and feed those fishes there. And trust me, it will be an amazing experience feeding fishes there. Lots and lots of fishes are there, all waiting for you to feed them.

There are plenty of fishes there in the marine park. The only thing that I regret is that I forgot to bring my camera to this marine park, I leave my camera on the boat. What I have with me is the underwater camera which is not available to make it into softcopy. Therefore I have to find photos from other sites and explain them here. If there are links on those pictures, you can feel free to visit them.
This is the Redang Marine Park view from far away. So what kind of fishes you can see there? There are a lots. And I don't know names for fishes, I just know some which are more famous. You can see barracudas there, and the most amazing is this, you can see it there right below the marine park. It hides under the pillars (columns) of the park.




You can see this thing under the marine park. Its called the Eel fish. Its body is very long, the one under Redang marine park has got around 1 to 2 meters long.

These are the barracudas, they have long mouth just like saw fish. LOL. So, the Redang marine park is a must visit place if you ever go to Redang Island. And learn one thing from me, bring your cameras along, and if possible, buy an underwater camera, just around RM50 (low quality). But the things that inconvenient is that you got no idea where to keep your cameras when you're off to snorkelling. Maybe those beach boys can keep for you.Below are some photos took by me, not in Redang marine park, cause I didn't brought my camera along.




Taken on boat before snorkelling. There are even more fishes in the marine park.
Go and get your own feeling with touching the fish.
