Island vacays are back, and hotter than ever! If your feed is full of ocean dips, sandy toes, and sunset shots, you’re not imagining it. The island escape is officially back, and there’s no better time to plan your own. Think crystal-clear waters, golden sunsets, and a splash of local culture. We’ve got your ultimate 4D3N game plan: from KL’s bright lights to the laidback vibes of Kuala Terengganu, and finally to the Instagram-famous shores of Pulau Redang. 

And the best part? With redBus, you don’t need to juggle multiple bookings or stress out over ferry timings. Just head over to redBus — where you can book your bus to Kuala Terengganu and ferry to Redang in one go. Travel smart, travel smooth. So, here’s your perfect 4D3N coast-to-island escape, built for long weekends and spontaneous getaways alike. Packing essentials: sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, comfortable walking shoes, a camera, and a good playlist.

Day 1: Road Trip

KL → Kuala Terengganu

Start your long weekend adventure with a classic kopitiam breakfast near KL Sentral — soft-boiled eggs, kaya toast, and a strong kopi to fuel your journey. Then it’s time to board a double-decker bus from KL to Kuala Terengganu. The ride takes about 6 to 7 hours, so bring a book, listen to a podcast, or catch up on sleep. Along the way, you’ll pass stretches of lush greenery, winding coastal highways, and small towns that offer a glimpse of east coast charm. 

Upon arriving in Kuala Terengganu in the afternoon, you can stretch your legs and head over to the city’s colourful Chinatown. This historic quarter is home to the oldest temple in Terengganu, Ho Ann Kiong, built in the 1800s. It’s a preserved slice of pre-colonial heritage. Its traditional Chinese-style shophouses and settlements are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, now refreshed with vibrant murals and the charming Memory Lane, which pays tribute to notable Chinese figures from Terengganu’s past. With every corner steeped in culture and character, it’s also an ideal spot for snapping some insta-worthy photos.

As the day winds down, make your way to Pantai Batu Buruk for a relaxed sunset session by the sea. The beach vibes here are laid-back with families flying kites and some strolling leisurely. Wrap up your evening with a seafood feast at one of the nearby warungs. Don’t miss local favourites, spicy sambal sotong and ikan celup tepung.

DAY 2 & 3: Boat Rides & Island Life

Wake up early, check out, and make your way to Taman Tamadun Islam Jetty to catch the first ferry to Pulau Redang. The ride takes around 1.5 hours, so settle in and enjoy the sea breeze. If you get seasick easily, it’s a good idea to take a pill beforehand and do not forget to layer on the sunscreen before you board!

Pro tip: Book your ferry via redBus for around RM55 with free cancellation (just in case your plans change). Even better? Use the code RBFERRY to score 25% off instantly + 25% cashback on your booking. More savings = more beach snacks.

Check in to your resort, drop your bags, and hit the beach. First swim, first floating-in-the-sea pic, first fresh coconut water — all before the sun goes down.

As evening falls, settle in for a sunset dinner right on the beach. Many popular resorts host grill nights and fire shows, a perfect way to end your first island evening. 

The next day is all about soaking in the best of Redang. Post breakfast, join a snorkel tour to explore the Marine Park and Coral Gardens, where with a little luck, you might spot turtles gliding through the water. Make sure to carry a waterproof pouch or GoPro to document these incredible moments.

Spend the afternoon as you like. Kayaking, beach volleyball, or lounging under coconut trees, do as much (or as little) as you want. The only rule? Relax and repeat. Ps. if you stay up late, you will be treated to a spectacular show of stars above the island. 

DAY 4: One Last Dip

Ease into your final island morning with a coffee and a quiet beach walk. And yes, squeeze in that last swim before reality (and your inbox) calls. Before you pack up, swing by the local beach stalls for a few souvenirs. 

Catch the ferry back to Kuala Terengganu. If you have a bit of time before catching your bus back, make a quick stop at Pasar Payang, one of Kuala Terengganu’s most vibrant local markets. Take your time browsing for woven bags, batik prints, and quirky souvenirs.

Then it is back on the road for the journey home. As the city lights of KL come back into view, you will already be dreaming of your next east coast escape.
