The best islands in Terengganu in 2026 are Perhentian Islands (Pulau Perhentian, Kuala Besut), then Redang Island (Redang) and Pulau Kapas (Marang).
Pulau Perhentian, Kuala Besut, Terengganu
Two small, car-free islands with snorkelling right off the beach, turtles and cheap chalets. Kecil is the backpacker side, Besar is the quieter family side.
Don't miss: Snorkel with turtles at Turtle Point and Shark Point
Pulau Redang, Redang, Terengganu
Marine park island with some of the clearest water in peninsular Malaysia, strong on snorkelling and diving. Resort-based, quieter, and generally pricier than the Perhentians.
Don't miss: Snorkelling at Marine Park Centre and Pasir Panjang
Pulau Kapas, Marang, Terengganu
A small, calm island with white sand, clear water and easy snorkelling. Closer to the mainland than Redang, so it suits quick weekend escapes.
