Marine Park Centre is the most popular  snorkelling site on a close island; it can be overcrowded with tourists in the high season and week-ends, yet it offers an unforgettable snorkelling experience: this site has the largest concentration of  fishes of the area probably due to the fact that many visitors feed them; it’s amazing to stand still in the water surrounded by hundreds of fishes waiting for food handouts!
For those who prefer sunbathing, Redang offers incredible white beaches  where to rest enjoying the tropical view and, just a few steps from the main beach, there’s a delimited area dedicated to snorkelling. You just have to dive into the clear water to experience the incredible beauty of the marine life!
