Top Kuala Terengganu Outdoor Activities

Cruise the Terengganu River to Pulau Duyung, Duyung Island, and the Jeram River on a half-day tour that combines traditional culture, wild nature, and a glimpse of daily life in remote villages. You’ll see boats being built in a fishing village, then continue up the Jeram River into a mangrove swamp, traveling in a boat that's a front-row seat for watching life unfold at the edge of the river.

Watch the fireflies and wildlife that come out after dark on a 4-hour river cruise from Kuching that includes pickup and drop-off at your hotel. Navigate waterways lined with mangrove trees, then try to spot the crocodiles and monkeys at the water’s edge, as fireflies blink and glow in a natural light show.

Pulau Redang is a small island surrounded by crystal clear and has various beautiful diving possibilities for the aficionados. You may snorkel around the island as the coral reefs are in good health. The reefs of the redang archipelago are home to over 55 genera of corals and 100 species of fish. The best time to visit Redang is between March to September.

Keep your ears tuned to the sounds of the forest as you may just pick up nature’s symphony of cicadas, an orchestration of sounds you have never heard before.  Turtle Information Centre There will be a showing of an educational video on giant leatherback turtles and the conservation efforts and protection being carried out for this rare species. Turtle Rock Head to Rantau Abang beach to see the magnificent sight, whereby locals believe that the turtles are attracted to nest at Rantau Abang because of the rock itself. Enjoy a short and simple picnic lunch by the beach.
